How to Efficiently Use setInterval for Notifications in Your JavaScript/React App

If you're working with React and Redux, you might find yourself needing to create a countdown timer that triggers notifications at specific intervals. This functionality can greatly enhance user experience, especially in applications dealing with real-time data. In this guide, we will explore how to effectively utilize setInterval to countdown timestamps stored in your Redux state and subsequently display notifications using react-toastify.

The Problem at Hand

Imagine an application where users interact with various "rooms". Each room has a timestamp, and when users click a button, the countdown begins from the stored timestamp. The challenge arises when you wish to show notifications related to each room from a centralized Notification component placed at the application's root.

The main tasks you need to accomplish are:

Accessing timestamps for each room from Redux.

Starting a countdown to zero and displaying notifications accordingly.

Ensuring that the notifications work seamlessly even while navigating between different app pages.

Crafting Your Solution

To tackle this, we need to make modifications to both the App and Notification components to ensure effective communication and functionality. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to implement this solution.

Step 1: Update Your App Component

Your App component is where the routing takes place. Here, we will iterate over the rooms stored in the Redux state and pass the relevant props to the Notification component.

Step 2: Finalize the Notification Component

With the Notification component now able to handle props for each room’s timestamp and ID, we can modify the component to implement the countdown logic.

Explanation of the Logic

App Component:

We use Object.entries() to iterate through the rooms and extract both their ID and timestamp.

Each Notification component receives its respective timestamp, along with roomId and a custom message.

Notification Component:

The countdown starts when Notification receives a valid timestamp.

The setInterval updates the timeLeft state every second until it reaches zero, triggering a notification via react-toastify.

Conclusion

Implementing a countdown mechanism with setInterval along with notifications in a React application can seem challenging, especially when working across different components. By following the structure outlined above, you ensure a clean separation of responsibilities while adhering to React's declarative nature. This not only improves code maintainability but enhances the overall user experience.

By using this approach, you ensure that your notifications remain functional, regardless of the current state of your app or page navigation.

Now go ahead and implement this in your projects to keep your users informed in real-time!
