In React, the method calls a function or runs some code after a while and specifies using the second argument, known as the setTimeout method. For example, the code prints the error to the developer console after 3000 milliseconds or 3 seconds. 


We can use setTimeout in useEffect also. To use inside the useEffect hook, we have to place a setTimeout that logs the error message after 3 seconds. In the output, we can see the error message after 3 seconds. Also, we can change the count state using the button, and there is no new timeout being created in the function. This method schedules a one-time callback after the specified time in milliseconds, and this method immediately returns an identifier for the timeout event. We can use this ID to cancel the schedule callback function with React's clearTimeout() method. setTimeout() is an asynchronous function because the timer function will not pause the execution of other functions in the function's stack. 


The difference between timeout and setTimeout is that Angular timeout is a wrapper written for windows. In contrast, setTimeout is a try-catch block that throws exceptions via an exception handler service. The timeout accepts the function to be delayed, delay time, a boolean to invoke $. and apply parameter to be passed to the function. If we call the setTimeout() method with a time of 0 ms, the function we specify is not invoked immediately. But instead, it is placed on a queue to be invoked as soon as possible after any currently pending event handlers finish running. 


Here is an example of how you can implement setTimeout after 3 seconds on an error in React:

In this solution we're using React library.

  useEffect(() => {

      setErrors(ee => {
        return ee.filter(({ id }) => new Date().getTime() - id < 3000);
      });
    }, 2000);
    return clearInterval.bind(this, timerId);
  }, []);
  return (
    <ul>
      {errors.map(({ id, message }, i) => {
        return <li key={id}>{message}</li>;
      })}
    </ul>
  );
};
export default function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <Errors />
      <h2>Start editing to see some magic happen!</h2>
    </div>
  );
}

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

  1. Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
  2. Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
  3. cd foldername.
  4. Open the folder in IDE.
  5. Copy the code using "copy" button above and paste it in app.js file(remove the earlier code from app.js).
  6. After pasting remove the first 10 lines of code and use the code from import statements.
  7. Create a new CSS file(eg: styles.css), then copy the code for styles alone from the 'DEMO' given below and paste it into this CSS file.
  8. Open the terminal from IDE.
  9. npm start to run the file.


You can also refer this url 'DEMO' for getting the above output.

I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.


I found this code snippet by searching for 'how to implement react settimeout after 3 seconds on react' in kandi. You can try any such use case!

Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

  1. The solution is created in Visual Studio Code 1.73.1.
  2. The solution is tested on node v18.12.1 and npm v8.19.2.
  3. React version-18.2.0.


Using this solution, we are able to implement react setTimeout after 3 seconds on error with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy way to use, hassle-free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to react setTimeout after 3 seconds on error.
