"Dynamic code execution with setTimeout and setInterval is banned"

"You MUST pass callable objects (i.e.: functions) to the setTimeout and setInterval functions. Passing strings will not create the timer and the function will return 0."

It doesn't disallow setTimeout and setInterval. It only bans passing strings to them, ie the following won't work

setTimeout('x = 5', 500);

but this will still work

setTimeout(function() { x = 5; }, 500);

Seriously, who would ban that?

  • This is a very good idea, if this dynamic code were allowed all kinds of crapware could be added without an ability to verify the integrity of the code, in fact every other similar API (android, ios) has something similar. – John Smith Jun 22 '15 at 22:28
