How can I do a console log every X seconds in the background of my application?

Question

I want to basically do a backup every X minutes, but let's for simplicity's sake say I want to just console log something or do some async stuff. It should run in the background and not block the rest of my app. Any advice?

`setInterval(() => console.log('hello'), 60000) // once a minute (roughly)` — Heretic Monkey, Jul 17 '19 at 21:05

you can use setInterval in componentDidMount and you can change 1000 to a variable.

componentDidMount() {
        this.interval = setInterval(() => console.log("here"), 1000 );
      }

 componentWillUnmount() {
    clearInterval(this.interval);
  }
