Angular 2 how to enable default/native setTimeout method instead of Angular2 patched version of setTimeout.

[Dmitrii Rogozin]

The original problem is the following, we have a component which has a lot of setTimeout/setInterval calls, to represent UI changes. We want to integrate this component into Angular2. The problem is

that if someone implements DoCheck interface, ngDoCheck() method is called on every setTimeout in the whole application. Can we disable/tweak it somehow. Basically what we want is to have a default implementation

of setTimeout for our own component.
Honestly the idea of rewriting system functions, in your framework doesn't seem to be a good idea, so I assume there is some native approach to disable ti.

Hi Dmitrii,

You should run your component outside the zone. Pascal has written a nice article about that.

What you call rewrites of system functions is not as much a rewrite, as it is a way to place the needed(and currently missing) hooks into the system. What you call a rewrite is actually (probably) going to make its way into JS itself.

Hello, Sander, thank you for your reply.

I guess you mean something like this?

  constructor(private zone: NgZone) {
    this.zone.runOutsideAngular(()=>{  
        component = OwnLibrary.createOwnComponent();
        component.renderTo("Div ID from Angular2 template");
     });
 } 

It doesn't completely fit our case, but we get some inspiration from your answer. Thank you!

Best regards,

Rogozin Dmitrii
