How to make something happen when you hold your finger on a button?

I searched on google, and I found out I have to use mousedown and mouseup events. I was thinking to add the function inside an interval on mousedown and clearing the interval at mouseup. But I failed. I need some help. An example would help a lot. Thx.

You should use touchstart and touchend events https://code.sololearn.com/WIw0Ffq5vvQH/?ref=app

I think I did something similar to that but then, I needed to add a click event, and everything started acting weird.

Click event would not fired, if you hold the button in longer period.
