What's the easiest way to call a function every 5 seconds in jQuery? [duplicate]

Answer 1

A good example where to subscribe a setInterval(), and use a clearInterval() to stop the forever loop:

function myTimer() {
    console.log(' each 1 second...');
}

var myVar = setInterval(myTimer, 1000);

call this line to stop the loop:

 clearInterval(myVar);
