Dismiss AlertController and stop function call

I have a function that displays an alert controller and a button that when clicked updates a field on a firestore database. After 15 seconds the alert is dismissed and another function is fired.



pickupIsRequested(){
this.pickupRequest.pickupStatus.subscribe(value => {
console.log(value);

if(value == true){
let alert = this.alertCtrl.create({
title: 'You have a Pickup Request!',
message: '<span>Princess who is 3 minutes away requests a ride</span><hr/> You have 15 seconds to accept the request!',
buttons: [
{
text: 'Accept Ride',
handler: () => {
this.driver.updateDriverInRide(true, this.driverId);
}
}
]
});
alert.present();

setTimeout(() => {
alert.dismiss();
this.driver.updateDriverPickupRequest(false, this.driverId);
}, 15000);
}
});
}


How can I stop the function call on the setTimeout method after I click on the alert controller button? Right now if I click on the button the this.driver.updateDriverPickupRequest still fires.

    Why don't you add a bool variable that indicates whether the button has been clicked? Then you should be able to do something like if (!buttonClicked) this.driver.updateDriverPickupRequest(...)

You can use clearTimeout() to cancel your function



pickupIsRequested(){
// First you need to create your timeout
let myTimeout = setTimeout(() => {
alert.dismiss();
this.driver.updateDriverPickupRequest(false, this.driverId);
}, 15000);

this.pickupRequest.pickupStatus.subscribe(value => {
console.log(value);

if(value == true)
{
let alert = this.alertCtrl.create({
title: 'You have a Pickup Request!',
message: '<span>Princess who is 3 minutes away requests a ride</span><hr/> You have 15 seconds to accept the request!',
buttons: [
{
text: 'Accept Ride',
handler: () => {
this.driver.updateDriverInRide(true, this.driverId);
// Cancel it here
clearTimeout(myTimeout);
}
}
]
});
alert.present();
}
});

}
