$timeout
(service in module ng
)
Angular's wrapper for window.setTimeout. The fn function is wrapped into a try/catch
block and delegates any exceptions to
$exceptionHandler service.
The return value of registering a timeout function is a promise which will be resolved when the timeout is reached and the timeout function is executed.
To cancel a the timeout request, call $timeout.cancel(promise).
In tests you can use $timeout.flush() to
synchronously flush the queue of deferred functions.
$timeout(fn[, delay][, invokeApply]);
fn – {function()} –
A function, who's execution should be delayed.
delay(optional=0) – {number=} –
Delay in milliseconds.
invokeApply(optional=true) – {boolean=} –
If set to false skips model dirty checking, otherwise
will invoke fn within the $apply block.
{*}
– Promise that will be resolved when the timeout is reached. The value this
promise will be resolved with is the return value of the fn function.
Cancels a task associated with the promise. As a result of this the promise will be
resolved with a rejection.
promise(optional) – {Promise=} –
Promise returned by the $timeout function.
{boolean}
– Returns true if the task hasn't executed yet and was successfully
canceled.
