I am trying to use setInterval in my Angular 4 app.

const inter = setInterval(() => {

  // logic resulting in exitCondition

  if(exitCondition) {

    clearInterval(inter);

  }

}, 1000);

This set up works fine in vanilla javascript, but clearInterval() does not seem to work in Angular. Upon doing some research I found an interval service for Angular 1.x :

https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$interval

Is there anything similar for Angular 4? Or is there a workaround to make clearInterval() work?
