Loops and Intervals

React hooks for calling functions at a regular interval.

Many of these hooks are built upon setInterval().

The intervals that these hooks create can be paused, resumed, stopped and re-started. Counters can also be reset. Additionally, these hooks will automatically take care of clearing any pending intervals if a component unmounts too early for example.

Most of these hooks do not automatically start on mount, but rather have to be started manually via the returned start() function. However, you can start automatically by setting options.startOnMount = true.
