I'm using the setInterval function in JavaScript but I get like one hundred reps per second from the console.log('NOW'). setTimeout also has the same effect.
Where is my mistake? I want to call the function "function1" every 15 minutes.
JavaScript Code:
function1() {
console.log('NOW');
.
.
.
});
},
refreshData() {
this.function1();
setInterval(this.refreshData(), 900000);
},
Thanks in adavance!
you're invoking the function
setInterval(this.refreshData(), 900000);
rather than passing a reference to a function
setInterval(this.refreshData, 900000);
Wrap your function call like This:
var self = this;
refreshData() {
this.function1();
setInterval(function(){ self.refreshData() }, 900000);
}
There are two possible ways:
In provided code you should use setTimeout, because you restart function manually:
function function1() {
console.log('NOW');
}
function refreshData() {
this.function1();
setTimeout(this.refreshData, 3000);
}
refreshData();Or simply replace existing logic with setInterval, it should do all the job you've implemented manually:
function function1() {
console.log('NOW');
}
this.function1();
setInterval(this.function1, 3000);
