How to cancel Meteor.setTimeout?

How to cancel a Meteor.setTimeout in the middle?

Meteor.setTimeout(() => {
    console.log("Start!");
}, 10000);

In this case, I want to use a button to cancel it in the middle of 10 seconds. Don't let it show "Start!".

If there is no way to cancel, is there any alternative way? Thanks

Meteor gives you a numeric handle to identify your timeout so you can store this to a variable

var myTimeOutHandle = Meteor.setTimeout(function(){console.log("clearTimeout never called")}, 10000);

and then call this inside your event on the button

Meteor.clearTimeout(myTimeOutHandle);
