better-timeout

Standard javascript setTimeout with clearTimeout as returned function

Motivation

I was tired from saving of timeout ID and when I had more than 2 it was a mess. The timeout function is very simple and it is using standard setTimeout and clearTimeout at the background.

Example

import timeout from 'better-timeout';

const clear = timeout(() => {
  console.log('hello');
}, 5000);

clear();

It is safe to call clear function multiple times. It will call clearTimeout just once.
