Create a constantly running method

I would like to create a method that monitors the current time using momentjs and will execute this.setState() in a specific time, in react native.

I had no problems getting the current time, the problem is, that i need some kind of a method that will constantly run in the background and execute the task.

Something like angular's $scope.watch for you guys that are familiar with angular.

use setInterval

componentDidMount() {
  let intervalId = setInterval(() => {
     this.setTime({
        time: //moment time
    }
});
}

You can run an interval after the component is mounted:

componentDidMount() {
  const interval = setInterval(() => {
    //your logic here
    this.setState({})
  }, 300)
}
