In AngularJS, the **$interval** service is used to run a specified function repeatedly at a specified interval. It is similar to **setInterval** in JavaScript but integrated with AngularJS's digest cycle, which means it triggers AngularJS's digest cycle after each interval, ensuring that any changes to the scope are reflected in the view.
Step to use $**interval** service
**Inject $interval:** First, you need to inject the **$interval** service into your controller, service, or directive.
```javascript
angular.module('myApp').controller('myController', function($scope, $interval) {
// Your controller logic here
});
```
**Using $interval**: Use the **$interval** service to set up an interval and specify the function to be executed and the interval duration in milliseconds.
```javascript
var myInterval = $interval(function() {
// Code to be executed repeatedly
}, 1000); // Interval duration in milliseconds (e.g., 1000 ms = 1 second)
```
**Stopping the Interval:** You can stop the interval by calling the **$interval.cancel()** function and passing the interval promise returned by **$interval**.
```javascript
$interval.cancel(myInterval);
```
