I am making a manga reader and i have a api from where i fetch data from , what i want to ask is how can i auto update new chapters for a particular manga as they are updated on the api. right now i fetch the whole list of chapters and store them in the array to show it to the user , what i want to do is whenever a new chapter is released i want a badge that gets updated to the amount of chapters released at that time. Do i need to put my function inside set interval that keeps firing a get command to the api ? wont this cause performance issue ? any thoughts and help is welcome
Try to call the api in ionViewWillEnter() {}. By this the user will see the update evrytime the user enters that page
This sounds like the sort of thing push notifications were designed for.
thnx 
that solved my doubt.
