TimerSafely

Timer functions for executing code in the future that are safely cleaned up when the react component unmounts.

Usage

You can replace your calls to setTimeout(fn, 500) with this.setTimeout(fn, 500) (just prepend this.) and everything will be properly cleaned up for you.

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import timerSafely from 'react-timer-safely'
 
@timerSafely
class TimerSafelyComponent extends Component {
 
  handleAsyncTimer = () => {
    // prepend `this.`
    this.setTimeout(fn, 500)
    this.setInterval(fn, 500)
    this.setImmediate(fn)
    this.requestAnimationFrame(fn)
  }
 
  rende() {
    return (
      <main>
        <button onClick={this.handleAsyncTimer}>async timer</button>
      </main>
    )
  }
}
