Question

I am trying to call a function twice, but with the current code I have getPoints() function is skipped and the getPoints() function in the setInterval is called. I am trying to make it call the getPoints() function and then call the one inside the setInterval.

var background;
// background page
background = chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage();
// get totals
getPoints(background.localStorage.points);
// update every 30 seconds
setInterval(function() {
  console.log("func");
  getPoints(background.localStorage.points);
}, 30000);

Answer 1

Try this:

window.onload = function() {
    var background;
    // background page
    background = chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage();
    // get totals
    getPoints(background.localStorage.points);
    // update every 30 seconds
    setInterval(function () {
        console.log("func");
        getPoints(background.localStorage.points);
    }, 30000);
};
