JS setInterval executes only once

Question

I have the following JS functions:

function checkIfGameAlreadyStarted(){
    $.get(\"IsGameAlreadyStarted\",null,function(gameAlreadyStarted){
        if (ga         


        

Answer 1

To use checkIfGameAlreadyStarted without parameters, use the method below:

setInterval(checkIfGameAlreadyStarted, 1000);

In case checkIfGameAlreadyStarted has some parameters to be passed, use the method below:

setInterval(function(){checkIfGameAlreadyStarted(a,b);},1000)

This is the best approach I have seen. Other well tested methods are welcomed ,though.

Edit

Passing parameters after the timeout as suggested in the comments is cool but using the above method I stated helps to combat the bind this problem in case checkIfGameAlreadyStarted() is a class method like this this.checkIfGameAlreadyStarted().

In case you want to pass parameters after timeout, here is how it works,

setInterval(checkIfGameAlreadyStarted, 1000, parameter1, parameter2);
