vue.js auto reload / refresh data with timer
No need to re-invent the wheel, window.setInterval() does the job pretty well
Vue.component('events', { template: '#events-template', data () { return { list: [], timer: '' } }, created () { this.fetchEventsList(); this.timer = setInterval(this.fetchEventsList, 300000); }, methods: { fetchEventsList () { this.$http.get('events', (events) => { this.list = events; }).bind(this); }, cancelAutoUpdate () { clearInterval(this.timer); } }, beforeDestroy () { this.cancelAutoUpdate(); }});new Vue({ el: 'body',});
