AngularJS – Polling for data
Polling for data in AngularJS can be accomplished quickly using the $timeout function. You pass two parameters to the $timeout instance; The first being the method to call, the second being the delay (in milliseconds).
$timeout($scope.getSomeData, 200);
Combining this with the counter enables you to quickly wire-up a repeated call for data over a specified timeframe.
$scope.keepPolling = function () {
if ($scope.isPolling) {
if ($scope.pollCount > 0) {
$scope.pollCount--;
$timeout($scope.getSomeData, 200);
} else {
$scope.stopPolling();
}
}
