JavaScript: run setInterval at page load
javascript, setinterval
Solution
How about:
setInterval(function foo(){
// logic
return foo;
}(), 20000);
Problem
I want to run a bit of code every 20 seconds. That works fine. But I'd like `setInterval` to be run when first encountered, and then to start timing (instead of doing the timing first). Obviously, I can do something like: ``` myFunction(); setInterval(myFunction, 20000); ``` But I find that a little inelegant. I'd prefer to do something like ``` setInterval(myFunction, 20000, { waitBeforeFirstRun: false }); ``` Does such a setting exist for `setInterval`?
