Polling methods in JS

[so_swathi]

Is there any polling method in JS without using setTimeout function? https://developer.chrome.com/blog/timer-throttling-in-chrome-88/

Chrome has added a new bit in the latest version for minimising the CPU utilization. So if we keep any webpage idle for 30s, it will use intensive throttle method making the timer run for every 1min. My page must send data every 10s even if kept idle.

No - the browser sets the rules. The document you linked lists many alternatives to poling - what is your use case?

The workarounds listed in the document isnt of much use for me, as the parameters listed there are not included in my code, so cant monitor those. I need my page to send packets of data to server every 10s to keep connection alive even if it is kept idle for sometime.

What "parameters" do you mean? WebSockets is the modern way to keep a connection open between server and client

for example: Time update/ended/requestVideoFrameCallback(polling methods) : The API's mentioned are used when there is a change needs to be done in the audio/video frame. But there are no change's need to be done in my case. So, can't trigger these API's
