# Timers

### `setTimeout`

Equivalent to `window.setTimeout`.

import { setTimeout } from "zeta-dom/util";

const dispose = setTimeout(() => { /* ... */ });

// somewhere else
// calling clearTimeout under the hook
dispose();

### `setInteval`

Equivalent to `window.setInteval`.

:::warning
It is recommand to use `setIntevalSafe` for async operation.
:::

import { setInteval } from "zeta-dom/util";

const dispose = setInteval(() => { /* ... */ }, 1000);

// somewhere else
// calling clearInteval under the hook
dispose();

### `setIntevalSafe`

Like `window.setInteval`, but the next run is not scheduled until current operation completes.

import { setIntevalSafe } from "zeta-dom/util";

const dispose = setIntevalSafe(() => { 
    return longOperationReturningPromise();
}, 1000);

// somewhere else
// calling clearTimeout under the hook
dispose();
