Web/API/Window/clearImmediate

Non-standard This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

This method clears the action specified by window.setImmediate.

This method is not expected to become standard, and is only implemented by recent builds of Internet Explorer and Node.js 0.10+. It meets resistance both from Gecko (Firefox) and Webkit (Google/Apple).

Syntax

window.clearImmediate( immediateID )

where immediateID is a ID returned by window.setImmediate.

Examples

let immediateID = setImmediate(() => {
  // Run some code
}

document.getElementById("button")
  .addEventListener(() => {
  clearImmediate(immediateID);
});
