Auto refresh in apps

[henk_stobbe]

Hello,

Can anyone explain in simple terms how to create a self refreshing dashboard? Or are the mechanics simple and you have to pull the data continuesly from within the app?

In other words: is it a pull or can we also use a push?

Hi @henk_stobbe ,

You basically have to pull data from within the app continuously.

If you want to implement such a self-refreshing dashboard, I suggest using TanStack Query (formerly known as React Query). Its refetchInterval property simplifies such a use case. You can find more about this feature here:
