Timer on Module

@sean So, should I be putting the updateDom in a function? Such as…

// Override dom generator.
		getDom: function() {
				var intervalID = window.setInterval(this.GetVid, 60000);
				var video =  document.createElement("video");
				video.src = this.config.videoSRC;
				video.autoplay = true;
				video.loop = this.config.loop;
			function GetVid() {
				updateDom
					}
					}

I’ve added in prior post. Sorry I’m typing on my phone. So I cannot write long…

job: function() {
  setInterval(()=>{
    this.updateDom() // this will execute your getDom()
  }, yourInterval)
},

notificationReceived: function (noti, payload, sender) {
  if (noti == “DOM_OBJECT_CREATED”) this.job()

},

getDom: function () {
  //making  your video DOM here.
}

@sean Sorry for being so new at this. And thank you for all of the help. I tried using your code.

get: function() {
setInterval(()=>{this.updateDom()}, 60000)
notificationRecieved: function (noti, payload, sender) {
if (noti = “DOM_OBJECT_CREATED”) this.job()

		},
getDom: function ()
			var video =  document.createElement("video");
			video.src = this.config.videoSRC;
			video.autoplay = true;
			video.loop = this.config.loop;
             },

});

But I get “Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token (” from notificationRecieved: function (noti, payload, sender) {

@dsmtweaker you missed some of the job function
this.updateDom()

}, yourInterval)

dsmtweaker

@sdetweil It is there in the get:function

 get: function() {setInterval(()=>{this.updateDom()}, 60000)
	notificationRecieved: function (noti, payload, sender) {
		if (noti = "DOM_OBJECT_CREATED") this.job()

		},
getDom: fuction ()
			var video =  document.createElement("video");
			video.src = this.config.videoSRC;
			video.autoplay = true;
			video.loop = this.config.loop;

},});

@dsmtweaker i hate code posting on this forum…

note that
getDom: fuction () is spelled wrong
and also missing the open brace

sdetweil

there are 3 routines (functions)… in seans post

// worker function
job: function() {
  // start a recurring timer that will tell MM to get the module updated dom content
  // this uses an inline function, be careful of braces and parens  matching
  setInterval(()=>{
    this.updateDom() // this will execute your getDom(), after 'yourInterval' time
  }, yourInterval)
},

// the function called when notifications are received from the system
notificationReceived: function (noti, payload, sender) {
   // if the notification is "dom is created", then call our worker function
  if (noti == “DOM_OBJECT_CREATED”) this.job() 

},

// the function called for the module to provide its dom content
getDom: function () {
  //making  your video DOM here.
}

@sdetweil I made all the corrections noted.

but on if (noti == “DOM_OBJECT_CREATED”) this.job() I am still getting the error SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

@dsmtweaker said in Timer on Module:

but on if (noti == “DOM_OBJECT_CREATED”) this.job() I am still getting the error SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

Excuse me for jumping in but the curly quotes containing DOM_OBJECT_CREATED will cause that error. Try:

if (noti == "DOM_OBJECT_CREATED") this.job()

The difference is slight, but enough.
