autoUpdate([interval]), cancelAutoUpdate()
Start or stop periodic re-rendering from JavaScript, the counterpart of the auto:update attribute.
Syntax
- doodle.autoUpdate([interval])
- doodle.cancelAutoUpdate()
- interval
- A number of milliseconds, or a string with
ms,sorm. Minimum500. When omitted, the last interval passed toautoUpdate()is reused, then theauto:updatevalue, then2000.
Calling autoUpdate() again restarts the timer with the new interval.
cancelAutoUpdate() stops it, forgets the interval and removes the auto:update attribute if present.

const doodle = document.querySelector('css-doodle');
doodle.autoUpdate('3s');
// later
doodle.cancelAutoUpdate();
