Periodic timer in a view script is not being stopped after switching view what should I do?

From version 8.12.0 we have changed our view script functions and because of that periodic interval is not being stopped after switching view or opening another view in active area.
This can be solved by destroying this function as showed in example.

function init() {
this.time_Interval = setInterval(function() {
console.log(“hello”);
}, 5000); //Interval value in milliseconds

}

function destroy() {
clearInterval(this.time_interval);

}

If we wouldn’t use destroy function interval would be running endlessly and won’t ever be ended.
