Is there a way to clear all time outs from a given window? I suppose the timeouts are stored somewhere in the window object but couldn't confirm that.
Any cross browser solution is welcome.

To clear all timeouts they must be "captured" first: Place the below code before any other script and it will create a wrapper function for the original setTimeout & clearTimeout . 💡 New clearTimeouts methods will be added to the window Object, which will allow clearing all (pending) timeouts (Gist link).
You don't actually need to use clearTimeout , you only use it if you wish to cancel the timeout you already set before it happens. It's usually more practical to use clearInterval with setInterval because setInterval usually runs indefinitely.
To clear or cancel a timer, you call the clearTimeout(); method, passing in the timer object that you created into clearTimeout(). For example, the code below shows how to properly clear a timer inside of a functional React component. ... const App = () => { useEffect(() => { const timer = setTimeout(() => console.
Introduction to JavaScript setTimeout()The setTimeout() sets a timer and executes a callback function after the timer expires. In this syntax: cb is a callback function to be executed after the timer expires. delay is the time in milliseconds that the timer should wait before executing the callback function.
They are not in the window object, but they have ids, which (afaik) are consecutive integers.
So you may clear all timeouts like so:
var id = window.setTimeout(function() {}, 0); while (id--) { window.clearTimeout(id); // will do nothing if no timeout with id is present } If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
