How do I trigger a function when the time reaches a specific time in JavaScript?
For this, extract the time of specific date time and call the function using setTimeout(). The code is as follows −
Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initialscale=1.0"> <title>Document</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fontawesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css"> <style> </style> </head> <body> <script> function timeToAlert() { alert("The time is 9:36 AM"); } var timeIsBeing936 = new Date("08/09/2020 09:36:00 AM").getTime() , currentTime = new Date().getTime() , subtractMilliSecondsValue = timeIsBeing936 - currentTime; setTimeout(timeToAlert, subtractMilliSecondsValue); </script> </body> </html>
To run the above program, save the file name “anyName.html(index.html)” and right click on the file. Select the option “Open with Live Server” in VS Code editor.
