Question

How do I call a save function every two minutes in Angular2?

Answer 1

rxjs 6

  import { interval } from 'rxjs';

  interval(2000 * 60).subscribe(x => {
    doSomething();
  });

rxjs 5

You can either use

import {Observable} from 'rxjs'; // Angular 6 
// import {Observable} from 'rxjs/Rx'; // Angular 5

  Observable.interval(2000 * 60).subscribe(x => {
    doSomething();
  });

or just setInterval()
