setInterval, setTimeout, clearTimeout

[wandonye]

I'm converting a Meteor client into React Native codes. With react-native-meteor, the following three functions are not available.

Meteor.clearTimeout
Meteor.setTimeout
Meteor.setInterval

Any reason why it is not included. What would be an equivalent implementation without these three functions?

The equivalent functions are setTimeout, setInterval, clearTimeout, and clearInterval :)

@eawall Ahh~ I thought Meteor.setInterval and etc work like Session and thus are accessible on the server as well. If that's not the case, then Timers in RN will do their jobs.

Another question arises then, is there a way to use ReactiveVar with React-Native-Meteor?
