How to call function for every 1 min in Lightning component

Question

I just want to refresh my data in lightning component for every 1 mins. Like auto refresh. My test case like 'Want to display employees who are in inactive for every 1 min using Lightning component'

Answer 1

You can create a function that you will call in init and in this function you need to add a setTimeout for 1 minute which will call this same function

controller :
doInit: function(component, event, helper){
   helper.everyMinute(component);
}

helper:
everyMinute:  function(component){
   var that = this;
   //put your code here and in setCallback add setTimeout with 1 minute

   var action = componet.get('c.getData');
   action.setCallback(this, function(result){
       //do your code
   });

   /* enqueue action in this way  */
   $A.enqueueAction(action);
    window.setTimeout(
        $A.getCallback(function() {
            console.log('Calling');
            that.everyMinute(component);
        }), 60000
    );
}

Answer 2

You can use setTimeout or setInterval with $A.getCallback()
