I have a database entry that has the following data:
{
_id:"fdjshbjds564564sfsdf",
shipmentCreationTime:"12:17 AM"
shipmentExpiryTime:"12:32 AM"
}
What I want to do is create a timer from the front end (ReactJS) on the basis of creation and expiry time provided in the data set. And once the timer runs zero, I want to execute an API call back to the backend.
The function is as follows:
exports.expireShipmentOffer = async (req,res) => {
const { shipmentOfferId } = req.body;
try {
const updatedOffer = await ShipmentOrder.findOneAndUpdate({_id: shipmentOfferId} , {$set:{status:'Expired'}} , {new: true})
const newNotification = await Notification({accountId: updatedOffer.accountId , notificationHeader: ` Shipment Order Expired ` , notificationMessage:`Your Shipment Request ${shipmentOfferId} has been expired due to no response from the carrier` , timeAndDate : moment().format('LLL'), actionPath:`/shipmentOffer/${updatedOffer._id}`})
await newNotification.save();
res.json({
status: 200,
message: updatedOffer
})
} catch (error) {
res.json({
status: 500,
message:error.message
})
}
}
What can I do to achieve this?
You can achieve this in different ways , one of them is to register a callback and use setTimout() function based on your dataset , you then can execute the request inside this function
I did not understand very well.
Do you want to create a Countdown or Timer?
If if you want to create a Countdown, save the value in a state and call your API when it is zero.
But if you want to create a timer, I suggest you use Promise docs
const tiemr = () => {
return new Promise(done => {
setTimeout(() => {
done(callYourAPI());
}, 5000); // after 5s
})
}
