Ionic 2: Set interval
I am trying to set spacing in a .ts file, but I don't understand how to use a function in the same file in an interval.
Explain:
My spacing setting:
this.task = setInterval(function () {
this.refreshData();
}, 300);
And my function in the same ts file:
refreshData() : void{
console.log('update...');
}
When I start my device I have this error:
04-19 10:38:57.535 21374-21374/com.ionicframework.app722890 I/chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(79432)] "TypeError: this.refreshData is not a function

I try this way, but I don't work:
this.task = setInterval(this.refreshData(), 300);
This is my function call only once.
Anyone have an idea?

use arrow function
this.task = setInterval(() => {
this.refreshData();
}, 300);
or keep context like this
let self = this;
this.task = setInterval(function () {
self.refreshData();
}, 300);
or using bind
this.task = setInterval((function () {
this.refreshData();
}).bind(this), 300);
if only one function call:
this.task = setInterval(this.refreshData.bind(this), 300);
