cancelInterval

Call this method within an interval handler to prevent the interval from running any additional times.

For example, here's how you would create a simple composable which types out text, stopping the interval automatically after the text has finished being typed out:

@Composable
fun TypedText(
    value: String,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    keystrokeDelay: Duration = 50.milliseconds
) {
    var currText by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
    SpanText(currText, modifier, ref = ref {
        window.setInterval(keystrokeDelay) {
            if (currText.length < value.length) {
                currText += value[currText.length]
            } else cancelInterval()
        }
    })
}
