What's the efficient alternative to setInterval done completely in Blazor Webassembly?

Question

I was thinking of something like:

protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync() {
  //...
  RunMeEndlesslyWithoutAwait();
  //...
}
protected async Task RunMeEndlesslyWithoutAwait() {
  while (online) {
    //... do stuff
    await Task.Delay(60000);
  }
}

but I'm not sure if it's the most adeguage.

Is there any known best/efficient ways to the JS function setInterval(...) that uses blazor webassembly?

Answer 1

You are probably looking for a Timer

@using System.Timers

@code
{
  Timer timer = new Timer();

  protected override Task OnInitializedAsync()
    {
        timer.Interval = 6000;
        timer.Elapsed +=async(_, _) => await RunMeEndlesslyWithoutAwait();
    }
}
