vue apollo refetch every x ms

To refetch data at regular intervals using Vue Apollo, you can follow these steps:

Import the necessary dependencies: You will need to import the refetchQueries function from the @apollo/client library. This function allows you to manually refetch data from the server.
Define a timer: Create a timer using the setInterval function, specifying the time interval (in milliseconds) at which you want to refetch the data.
Use the refetchQueries function: Inside the timer function, call the refetchQueries function and pass it an array of queries that you want to refetch. This array should contain the names of the queries you want to refetch.
Clean up the timer: To avoid memory leaks, make sure to clean up the timer when the component is destroyed. You can do this by using the clearInterval function and passing it the timer variable.

Here is an example of how these steps can be implemented in Vue using Vue Apollo:

<template>
  <div>
    <!-- Your component content here -->
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { refetchQueries } from "@apollo/client";

export default {
  data() {
    return {
      timer: null,
    };
  },
  mounted() {
    this.timer = setInterval(() => {
      this.$apollo.mutate({
        mutation: YOUR_MUTATION_NAME,
        refetchQueries: ["YOUR_QUERY_NAME"],
      });
    }, INTERVAL_IN_MS);
  },
  beforeDestroy() {
    clearInterval(this.timer);
  },
};
</script>

In this example, replace YOUR_MUTATION_NAME with the name of the mutation you want to use for refetching the data, and replace YOUR_QUERY_NAME with the name of the query you want to refetch. Also, define INTERVAL_IN_MS with the desired time interval for refetching the data in milliseconds.

This implementation will continuously refetch the specified query at the defined interval, ensuring that your data stays up to date.
