How do I clear this setInterval inside a function?

The setInterval method returns a handle that you can use to clear the interval. If you want the function to return it, you just return the result of the method call: function intervalTrigger() { return window.setInterval( function() { if (timedCount >= markers.length) { timedCount = 0; } google.maps.event.trigger(markers[timedCount], “click”); timedCount++; }, 5000 ); }; var … Read more

Just for the record, there is a way to get the time left in node.js: var timeout = setTimeout(function() {}, 3600 * 1000); setInterval(function() { console.log(‘Time left: ‘+getTimeLeft(timeout)+’s’); }, 2000); function getTimeLeft(timeout) { return Math.ceil((timeout._idleStart + timeout._idleTimeout – Date.now()) / 1000); } Prints: $ node test.js Time left: 3599s Time left: 3597s Time left: 3595s … Read more

Get return value from setTimeout [duplicate]

You need to use Promises for this.
