Make a JavaScript function repeat every x seconds

JavaScriptRepeat.js

function refreshData()
{
    x = 5;  // 5 Seconds

    // Do your thing here

    setTimeout(refreshData, x*1000);
}


refreshData(); // execute function

What if we want to send some arguments?

U can use some ajax on '// Do your thing here' comment to passing some value or argument.
Btw, thanks for sharing this function.

thank you bro

You can always set the call to your function inside an anonymous one:

setTimeout( () =>{
    console.log("performing next step");
    refreshData(param1, param2);
}, refresh_time);```

`document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',motion)

//function
let i=0
,j=0;
function motion(){
let text2=" Find the lowest new and used prices on the books you need."
let text1="We make buying textbooks easy and affordable.<br> arezooo"

  if(text1.charAt(i)!="."){
    motionId1.innerHTML+=text1.charAt(i)
    setTimeout(motion,100)
    i++;   } 

else{
motionId2.innerHTML+=text2.charAt(j)
setTimeout(motion,100)
j++;
}
}
`

You have to create a variable outside your function and pass it as a parameter and then update it inside the function
