Execute the setInterval function without delay the first time

Question

It\'s there a way to configure the setInterval method of javascript to execute the method immediately and then executes with the timer

Answer 1

I will suggest calling the functions in the following sequence

var _timer = setInterval(foo, delay, params);
foo(params)

You can also pass the _timer to the foo, if you want to clearInterval(_timer) on a certain condition

var _timer = setInterval(function() { foo(_timer, params) }, delay);
foo(_timer, params);
