periodically refresh events in fullcalendar

Question

In the documentation of arshaw's full calendar, I found the method I think, I need to use: .fullCalendar( 'refetchEvents' ) but since I'm totally unfamiliar with JavaScript, I don't have a plan on how to use this function.

I'd like to know a simple way to make the calendar reload the events from the event sources and rerender them periodically (e.g. every 30 seconds).

Any hints will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Simply use setInterval function : http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_setinterval.asp

setInterval(function(){$('#yourCalendar').fullCalendar('refetchEvents')}, 30000);
