I have noticed, when I use setTimeout() function in TypeScript, it returns NodeJS.Timeout type.
On MDN we can find:
The returned value is a positive integer value which identifies the timer created by the call.
Should I use it when I write fornt-end application?
I would like to run it later in web browser.

Writing Node.js application use:
xxxxxxxxxx1
const timeout = global.setTimeout(() => { }, 1000); // let timeout: NodeJS.Timeout;2
3
global.clearTimeout(timeout);
Writing web browser application use:
xxxxxxxxxx1
const id = window.setTimeout(() => { }, 1000); // let id: number;2
3
window.clearTimeout(id);0 commentsShow commentsAdd comment
