window.setInterval - Web API 接口参考编辑

WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope 的 setInterval() 方法重复调用一个函数或执行一个代码段，在每次调用之间具有固定的时间延迟。

在窗口和工作接口上提供的setInterval()方法重复调用函数或执行代码片段，每次调用之间有固定的时间延迟。它返回一个时间间隔ID，该ID唯一地标识时间间隔，因此您可以稍后通过调用clearInterval()来删除它。这个方法是由WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope mixin定义的。

语法

var intervalID = scope.setInterval(func, delay, [arg1, arg2, ...]);
var intervalID = scope.setInterval(code, delay);

参数

func: 要重复调用的函数。每经过指定 延迟 毫秒后执行的函数 。该函数不接受任何参数，也没有返回值。
code: 这个语法是可选的，你可以传递一个字符串来代替一个函数对象，你传递的字符串会被编译然后每个delay毫秒时间内执行一次。这个语法因为存在安全风险所以不被推荐使用。
delay: 是每次延迟的毫秒数 (一秒等于1000毫秒)，函数的每次调用会在该延迟之后发生。和setTimeout一样，实际的延迟时间可能会稍长一点。这个时间计算单位是毫秒（千分之一秒），这个定时器会使指定方法或者代码段执行的时候进行时间延迟。如果这个参数值小于10，则默认使用值为10。请注意，真正延迟时间或许更长；请参考示例： Reasons for delays longer than specified in WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope.setTimeout()
arg1, ..., argN 可选: 当定时器过期的时候，将被传递给func指定函数的附加参数。

返回值

此返回值intervalID是一个非零数值，用来标识通过setInterval()创建的计时器，这个值可以用来作为clearInterval()的参数来清除对应的计时器。

值得注意的是，setInterval()和setTimeout()共享同一个ID池，并且clearInterval()和clearTimeout()在技术上是可互换使用的。但是，我们必须去匹配clearInterval()和clearTimeout()对应的id，以避免代码杂乱无章，增强代码的可维护性。

Note: The delay argument is converted to a signed 32-bit integer. This effectively limits delay to 2147483647 ms, since it's specified as a signed integer in the IDL.

回调参数

如前所述，Internet Explorer 9及以下版本不支持在setTimeout()或setInterval()中向回调函数传递参数。下面的IE专用代码演示了一种克服这种限制的方法。使用时，只需将以下代码添加到你的脚本顶部即可。

if (document.all && !window.setTimeout.isPolyfill) {
  var __nativeST__ = window.setTimeout;
  window.setTimeout = function (vCallback, nDelay /*, argumentToPass1, argumentToPass2, etc. */) {
    var aArgs = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 2);
    return __nativeST__(vCallback instanceof Function ? function () {
      vCallback.apply(null, aArgs);
    } : vCallback, nDelay);
  };
  window.setTimeout.isPolyfill = true;
}

if (document.all && !window.setInterval.isPolyfill) {
  var __nativeSI__ = window.setInterval;
  window.setInterval = function (vCallback, nDelay /*, argumentToPass1, argumentToPass2, etc. */) {
    var aArgs = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 2);
    return __nativeSI__(vCallback instanceof Function ? function () {
      vCallback.apply(null, aArgs);
    } : vCallback, nDelay);
  };
  window.setInterval.isPolyfill = true;
}

另一种方式是使用匿名函数调用你的回调函数，但是这种方式开销较大。例如：

var intervalID = setInterval(function() { myFunc('one', 'two', 'three'); }, 1000);

还有一种方式是使用 function's bind. 例如：

var intervalID = setInterval(function(arg1) {}.bind(undefined, 10), 1000);

Inactive tabs

Requires Gecko 5.0(Firefox 5.0 / Thunderbird 5.0 / SeaMonkey 2.2)

Starting in Gecko 5.0 (Firefox 5.0 / Thunderbird 5.0 / SeaMonkey 2.2), intervals are clamped to fire no more often than once per second in inactive tabs.

"this" 的问题

当你给 setInterval() 传递一个方法或者函数的时候，this 值的绑定会存在一些问题。这个问题在JavaScript 参考进行了详细解释。

Code executed by setInterval() runs in a separate execution context than the function from which it was called. As a consequence, the this keyword for the called function is set to the window (or global) object, it is not the same as the this value for the function that called setTimeout. See the following example (which uses setTimeout() instead of setInterval() – the problem, in fact, is the same for both timers):

myArray = ['zero', 'one', 'two'];

myArray.myMethod = function (sProperty) {
    alert(arguments.length > 0 ? this[sProperty] : this);
};

myArray.myMethod(); // prints "zero,one,two"
myArray.myMethod(1); // prints "one"
setTimeout(myArray.myMethod, 1000); // prints "[object Window]" after 1 second
setTimeout(myArray.myMethod, 1500, "1"); // prints "undefined" after 1,5 seconds
// passing the 'this' object with .call won't work
// because this will change the value of this inside setTimeout itself
// while we want to change the value of this inside myArray.myMethod
// in fact, it will be an error because setTimeout code expects this to be the window object:
setTimeout.call(myArray, myArray.myMethod, 2000); // error: "NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_OP_ON_WN_PROTO: Illegal operation on WrappedNative prototype object"
setTimeout.call(myArray, myArray.myMethod, 2500, 2); // same error

As you can see there are no ways to pass the this object to the callback function in the legacy JavaScript.

一个可能的解决方案

A possible way to solve the "this" problem is to replace the two native setTimeout() or setInterval() global functions with two non-native ones that enable their invocation through the Function.prototype.call method. The following example shows a possible replacement:

// Enable the passage of the 'this' object through the JavaScript timers

var __nativeST__ = window.setTimeout, __nativeSI__ = window.setInterval;

window.setTimeout = function (vCallback, nDelay /*, argumentToPass1, argumentToPass2, etc. */) {
  var oThis = this, aArgs = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 2);
  return __nativeST__(vCallback instanceof Function ? function () {
    vCallback.apply(oThis, aArgs);
  } : vCallback, nDelay);
};

window.setInterval = function (vCallback, nDelay /*, argumentToPass1, argumentToPass2, etc. */) {
  var oThis = this, aArgs = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 2);
  return __nativeSI__(vCallback instanceof Function ? function () {
    vCallback.apply(oThis, aArgs);
  } : vCallback, nDelay);
};

These two replacements also enable the HTML5 standard passage of arbitrary arguments to the callback functions of timers in IE. So they can be used as non-standard-compliant polyfills also. See the callback arguments paragraph for a standard-compliant polyfill.

New feature test:

myArray = ['zero', 'one', 'two'];

myArray.myMethod = function (sProperty) {
    alert(arguments.length > 0 ? this[sProperty] : this);
};

setTimeout(alert, 1500, 'Hello world!'); // the standard use of setTimeout and setInterval is preserved, but...
setTimeout.call(myArray, myArray.myMethod, 2000); // prints "zero,one,two" after 2 seconds
setTimeout.call(myArray, myArray.myMethod, 2500, 2); // prints "two" after 2,5 seconds

Another, more complex, solution for the this problem is the following framework.

JavaScript 1.8.5 introduces the Function.prototype.bind() method, which lets you specify the value that should be used as this for all calls to a given function. This lets you easily bypass problems where it's unclear what this will be, depending on the context from which your function was called. Also, ES2015 supports arrow functions, with lexical this allowing us to write setInterval( () => this.myMethod) if we're inside myArray method.

MiniDaemon：一个用于管理定时器的小框架

In pages requiring many timers, it can often be difficult to keep track of all of the running timer events. One approach to solving this problem is to store information about the state of a timer in an object. Following is a minimal example of such an abstraction. The constructor architecture explicitly avoids the use of closures. It also offers an alternative way to pass the this object to the callback function (see The "this" problem for details). The following code is also available on GitHub.

For a more complex but still modular version of it (Daemon) see JavaScript Daemons Management. This more complex version is nothing but a big and scalable collection of methods for the Daemon constructor. However, the Daemon constructor itself is nothing but a clone of MiniDaemon with an added support for init and onstart functions declarable during the instantiation of the daemon. So the MiniDaemon framework remains the recommended way for simple animations, because Daemon without its collection of methods is essentially a clone of it.

  if (this.BACKW === bBackw && (this.isAtEnd() || !this.PAUSED)) { return; }
  this.BACKW = bBackw;
  this.PAUSED = false;
  this.synchronize();
};

MiniDaemon passes arguments to the callback function. If you want to work on it with browsers that natively do not support this feature, use one of the methods proposed above.

语法

var myDaemon = new MiniDaemon(thisObject, callback[, rate[, length]]);

说明

Returns a JavaScript Object containing all information needed by an animation (like the this object, the callback function, the length, the frame-rate).

参数

thisObject: The this object on which the callback function is called. It can be an object or null.
callback: The function that is repeatedly invoked . It is called with three arguments: index (the iterative index of each invocation), length (the number of total invocations assigned to the daemon - finite or Infinity) and backwards (a boolean expressing whether the index is increasing or decreasing). It is something like callback.call(thisObject, index, length, backwards). If the callback function returns a false value the daemon is paused.
rate (optional): The time lapse (in number of milliseconds) between each invocation. The default value is 100.
length (optional): The total number of invocations. It can be a positive integer or Infinity. The default value is Infinity.

`MiniDaemon` 实例（instance）的属性

myDaemon.owner: The this object on which is executed the daemon (read/write). It can be an object or null.
myDaemon.task: The function that is repeatedly invoked (read/write). It is called with three arguments: index (the iterative index of each invocation), length (the number of total invocations assigned to the daemon - finite or Infinity) and backwards (a boolean expressing whether the index is decreasing or not) – see above. If the myDaemon.task function returns a false value the daemon is paused.
myDaemon.rate: The time lapse (in number of milliseconds) between each invocation (read/write).
myDaemon.length: The total number of invocations. It can be a positive integer or Infinity (read/write).

`MiniDaemon` 实例的方法

myDaemon.isAtEnd(): Returns a boolean expressing whether the daemon is at the start/end position or not.
myDaemon.synchronize(): Synchronize the timer of a started daemon with the time of its invocation.
myDaemon.pause(): Pauses the daemon.
myDaemon.start([reverse]): Starts the daemon forward (index of each invocation increasing) or backwards (index decreasing).

`MiniDaemon` 全局对象的方法

MiniDaemon.forceCall(minidaemon): Forces a single callback to the minidaemon.task function regardless of the fact that the end has been reached or not. In any case the internal INDEX property is increased/decreased (depending on the actual direction of the process).

备注

The setInterval() function is commonly used to set a delay for functions that are executed again and again, such as animations.

You can cancel the interval using WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope.clearInterval().

If you wish to have your function called once after the specified delay, use WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope.setTimeout().

Ensure that execution duration is shorter than interval frequency

If there is a possibility that your logic could take longer to execute than the interval time, it is recommended that you recursively call a named function using WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope.setTimeout. For example, if using setInterval to poll a remote server every 5 seconds, network latency, an unresponsive server, and a host of other issues could prevent the request from completing in its allotted time. As such, you may find yourself with queued up XHR requests that won't necessarily return in order.

In these cases, a recursive setTimeout() pattern is preferred:

(function loop(){
   setTimeout(function() {
      // Your logic here

      loop();
  }, delay);
})();

In the above snippet, a named function loop() is declared and is immediately executed. loop() is recursively called inside setTimeout() after the logic has completed executing. While this pattern does not guarantee execution on a fixed interval, it does guarantee that the previous interval has completed before recursing.

Throttling of intervals

setInterval() is subject to the same throttling restrictions in Firefox as setTimeout(); see Reasons for delays longer than specified.
