Typescript, update table timer (angular app)

Question

Hi,

Am I not supposed to use the setTimer in Typescript? It’s not in their docs.

I have a table and I want to highlight a row according to if the time is the current time.

This I solve with a ngIf to compare a string.

Now I want to update my date-time variable every minute. How would I do this in TypeScript?

Answer 1

typescript generates JavaScript and the JavaScript language does not have timers. These are implemented by the hosting environments.

You can use the browsers setTimeout() or setInterval() methods. The node hosting api also supports timers
