I got work like I need to call an API in the background every 28 minutes, So I thought of using setInterval to achieve this, but is it possible to set interval in minutes?
useEffect(() => {
setInterval(() => {
//dispatch API here
},??)
})
Now here I need to run this every 28 minutes, How can I implement this?
If there are other possible ways to achieve my requirement also, please do recommend that way too.
Thanks in advance!!
setInterval accepts the delay parameter in milliseconds. A millisecond is 1 1000th (1/1000) of a second.
So if you want a delay of 28 minutes, you need to work out how many seconds this is (28*60) and then multiply that by 1000.
So 28 * 60 * 1000 = 1,680,000

setInterval accepts milliseconds, so you can calculate it to minutes:
useEffect(() => {
const minutes = 28 * 60 * 1000;
setInterval(() =>{
console.log('hello world');
}, minutes);
});
