You can use scheduled HTTP requests to simulate persistent connections. The code snippet is as follows:
import { http } from '@kit.NetworkKit';
let httpRequest = http.createHttp();
// Set the polling period to 5 seconds.
setTimeout(() => {
httpRequest.request("EXAMPLE_URL", {
method: http.RequestMethod.GET,
connectTimeout: 60000,
readTimeout: 60000
}, (err, data) => {
if (!err) {
console.info('Received data:', JSON.stringify(data.result));
} else {
console.info('Polling error:', JSON.stringify(err));
}
})
}, 5000)
