AngularJS. Clear $timeout when invoking angular-ui modal
Solution 1:
The $timeout service returns a Promise object which can be used to cancel the timeout.
// Start a timeout
var promise = $timeout(function() {}, 1000);
// Stop the pending timeout
$timeout.cancel(promise);
To cancel all pending timeouts, you need to maintain a list of promises and cancel the complete list when you open the modal.
Solution 2:
You may also let them cancel themselves by doing this...
(function(){
var timer = $timeout(function(){
console.log(timer.$$timeoutId);
$timeout.cancel(timer);
}, 1000);
})();
