Ionic 2 : Set interval

问题

I try to set an interval in a .ts file but I don't understand how to use a function in the same file in the interval.

To explain :

My interval setting :

this.task = setInterval(function () {
            this.refreshData();
        }, 300);

And my function in the same ts file :

refreshData() : void{
        console.log('update...');
    }

When I run on my device, I have this error :

                                                                                      at t.invokeTask (file:///android_asset/www/build/polyfills.js:3:10284)
                                                                                      at Object.onInvokeTask (file:///android_asset/www/build/main.js:39626:37)

                                                                                      at e.runTask (file:///android_asset/www/build/polyfills.js:3:7637)
                                                                                      at invoke (file:///android_asset/www/build/polyfills.js:3:11397)
                                                                                      at e.args.(anonymous function) (file:///android_asset/www/build/polyfills.js:2:30193)", source: file:///android_asset/www/build/main.js (79432)

I try this way but I doesn't work :

this.task = setInterval(this.refreshData(), 300);

This call my function only one time.

Someone have an idea ?

回答1:

use arrow function

this.task = setInterval(() => {
  this.refreshData();
}, 300);

or store context like this

let self = this;
this.task = setInterval(function () {
  self.refreshData();
}, 300);

or using bind

this.task = setInterval((function () {
  this.refreshData();
}).bind(this), 300);

if only one function call:

this.task = setInterval(this.refreshData.bind(this), 300);

you could learn more about this with https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/tree/1st-ed/this%20%26%20object%20prototypes/ch1.md

回答2:

You should use setInterval() with => arrow, as I mentioned below

   setInterval(() => {      
          console.log('timer');
          //you can call function here
    },5000);

100% working.

回答3:

try this:

setInterval(this.refreshData, 300);

回答4:

I copy pasted your code in my app.

This worked:

this.task = setInterval( () => {
  this.refreshData();
}, 300);
