Hi, how do I constantly read contract method. So it instantly change when supply change.

const currentSupply = await contract.methods.totalSupply().call();
#2

if it is your contract, or if there is an event when the total supply changes, then you could listen for events

#3

I have whole thing for contract methods in:

if (window.ethereum){
//contract methods
const currentSupply = await contract.methods.totalSupply().call();

}

If I change “if” to “while”, it will constantly read, but will it be ok for website?

#4

I don’t think that it would be ok, as it will do it in a loop, you can add a delay of some seconds between the call

#5

How exactly can I do that?

#6

there is something like a sleep that can add a delay, you have an example here: Cloud Function calling it self again after hitting error (?)

#7

I’ve added 2 seconds of delay, do you think that will be enough.

#8

it could help, you could try with different number of seconds if it doesn’t work well
