I'm trying to understand javascript and cron. I need to 'update' variable every n second(s). Here's the example:
/*===cron.js===*/
var schedule = require('node-schedule')
var hello = initHello()
function initHello () {
return 'hello'
}
function changeHelloToWorld () {
return 'world'
}
function cron () {
//change value to 'world' after n second(s)
schedule.scheduleJob('*/10 * * * * *', function () {
hello = changeHelloToWorld()
return hello
})
return hello
}
module.exports = {
cron
}
/*===index.js===*/
var Hello = require('./cron')
var schedule = require('node-schedule');
//if I use this, it works. It prints 'world' instead of 'hello' after n seconds
schedule.scheduleJob('*/1 * * * * *', function () {
console.log(Hello.cron())
})
//But if I use this, it doesn't work.
while (true) {
console.log(Hello.cron())
}
From the example above, my question is, how can I get new value from cron.js without using scheduleJob() in index.js?
