A helper function that is the same as setInterval(), but with a limit parameter.

setLimitedInterval.js

function setLimitedInterval(func, delay, limit) {
  let i = 0;
  let interval = setInterval(() => {
    func(i);
    if(++i >= limit) clearInterval(interval);
  }, delay);
  return interval;
}

// Example: console.log() the current iteration number 3 times, every second

setLimitedInterval((i) => {
  console.log(i);
}, 1000, 3);
