Angular2 Observable with interval
20,039
The Observable
class has a static interval
method taking milliseconds (like the setInterval
method) as a parameter:
counter() {
return Observable
.interval(500)
.flatMap(() => {
return this.media.getCurrentPosition();
});
}
And in your component or wherever:
test() {
this.playerService.initUrl(xxxx) // This works
this.playerService.counter().subscribe(
data => {
console.log(data);
}
);
}

I have a function that needs to be called about every 500ms. The way I am looking at doing it with angular2 is using intervals and observables. I have tried this function to create the observable:
counter() { return Observable.create(observer => { setInterval(() => { return this.media.getCurrentPosition(); }, 500) }) }
With this code for the subscriber:
test() { this.playerService.initUrl(xxxx) // This works this.playerService.counter().subscribe(data => { res => { console.log(data); } }) }
I am very new to observables and angular2 so I might be taking the wrong approach completely. Any help is appreciated.
