如何在javascript中将超时设置为无穷大

Question

I have a timeout event that I want to set to infinity. Right now I just set it to 9999999 meaning that after that many milliseconds the event will trigger. But it is not so elegant, what's a better way to make it infinite?

Answer 1

There is no reason to trigger event after infinity time. Doing that will make events stays in stack forever and they could pile up.

Correct approach:

let booleanFlag = false;

// do somethinghing that can change "booleanFlag" value

function triggerThisOnSomeEvent(booleanFlag) {
    if (booleanFlag) {
        // Handle event
    }
}
