Window: clearInterval() method
BaselineWidely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
TheclearInterval() method of theWindow interface cancels a timed, repeating action which was previously established by a call tosetInterval(). If the parameter provided does not identify a previously established action, this method does nothing.
Syntax
clearInterval(intervalID)Parameters
intervalIDThe identifier of the repeated action you want to cancel. This ID was returned bythe corresponding call to
setInterval().
It's worth noting that the pool of IDs used bysetInterval() andsetTimeout() are shared, whichmeans you can technically useclearInterval() andclearTimeout() interchangeably.However, for clarity, you should avoid doing so.
Return value
None (undefined).
Examples
SeesetInterval() for examples.
