Widget-status always showing "a few seconds"

[L-Francois]

Hello,

If my widget is connected to a rest datasource with a call every x minutes, the when variable is always showing "a few seconds". It seems that this code is only evaluated at the first load of the page and not triggered anymore:

computed: {
  when: _updated => {
    return moment(_updated).fromNow(true)
  }

Thanks,
François

Hello,

I adapted the code to refresh it differently every 10 seconds, there are maybe better ways, discovering nodejs & co:

'use strict'
import moment from 'moment'

export default {
onstate () {
var self = this
setInterval(function() {
self.set({ when: self.refresh() });
}, 10000);
},
data () {
return {
description: '-',
components: {},
_lastupdated: moment(),
when: '-'
}
},
methods: {
update ({ data, meta }) {
this._lastupdated = meta.updated
this.when = moment(this._lastupdated).fromNow()
this.set(data)
},
refresh () {
return moment(this._lastupdated).fromNow()
}
}
}

Regards,
François

Heya - sorry I've not had a huge amount of time to work on Vudash recently!

The goal with _updated is that it is a property always sent by the core Vudash dashboard, and doesn't need to be sent by individual widgets. However, it's possible that there is an issue preventing this from working.

When my schedule frees up a bit I'll have a look into this and see if I can determine why there may be an issue here.
