Time Out code, Timed Trigger to Auto redirect or Auto navigate to another page or URL

Updated: Dec 10, 2020

About

Time Out codes are generally used in scenarios when you want to automate a trigger based on after a specific amount of time has passed. In this case, we are using the Time Out code to redirect a person to another Wix page or an external URL

Here are some common scenarios of when to trigger the Time Out code:

When the page loads
When a button is clicked
When a dataset is saved
After a query or filter has been executed

Good to Know #1

The Time

The code is written in milliseconds, therefore the number:

5000 is equivalent to 5 seconds
1000 is equivalent to 1 second
60000 is equivalent to 1 minute
3600000 is equivalent to 1 hour

The Code to redirect to another Wix page

On Page Load:

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

$w.onReady(function() {
const millisecondsToDelay = 5000;
setTimeout(() => {
wixLocation.to(`/join`);
}, millisecondsToDelay);
});

On Button Click:

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

$w.onReady(function () {
$w("#myElement").onClick((event) => {
const millisecondsToDelay = 5000;
setTimeout(() => {
wixLocation.to(`/join`);
}, millisecondsToDelay);
});
});

After Dataset Saved:

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

$w.onReady(function () {
$w("#myElement").onAfterSave(() => {
const millisecondsToDelay = 5000;
setTimeout(() => {
wixLocation.to(`/join`);
}, millisecondsToDelay);
});
});

After Query is executed:

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';
import wixData from 'wix-data';

$w.onReady(function () {
//
});

// ... some other code that triggered the query

wixData.query("myCollection")
.find()
.then( () => {
const millisecondsToDelay = 5000;
setTimeout(() => {
wixLocation.to(`/join`);
}, millisecondsToDelay);
} )
.catch( (err) => {
let errorMsg = err;
} );

After Filter is executed:

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';
import wixData from 'wix-data';

$w.onReady(function () {
//
});

// ... some other code that triggered the filter

$w("#myDataset").setFilter( wixData.filter()
.startsWith("lastName", "D")
)
.then( () => {
console.log("Dataset is now filtered");
const millisecondsToDelay = 5000;
setTimeout(() => {
wixLocation.to(`/join`);
}, millisecondsToDelay);
} )
.catch( (err) => {
console.log(err);
} );

Good to Know #3

The Code to redirect to an external URL

On Page Load:

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

$w.onReady(function() {
const millisecondsToDelay = 5000;
setTimeout(() => {
wixLocation.to(`https://www.wix.com/marketplace/hire/web-design`);
}, millisecondsToDelay);
});

On Button Click:

After Dataset Saved:

After Query is executed:

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';
import wixData from 'wix-data';

$w.onReady(function () {
//
});

// ... some other code that triggered the query

wixData.query("myCollection")
.find()
.then( () => {
const millisecondsToDelay = 5000;
setTimeout(() => {
wixLocation.to(`https://www.wix.com/marketplace/hire/web-design`);
}, millisecondsToDelay);
} )
.catch( (err) => {
let errorMsg = err;
} );

After Filter is executed:

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';
import wixData from 'wix-data';

$w.onReady(function () {
//
});

// ... some other code that triggered the filter

$w("#myDataset").setFilter( wixData.filter()
.startsWith("lastName", "D")
)
.then( () => {
console.log("Dataset is now filtered");
const millisecondsToDelay = 5000;
setTimeout(() => {
wixLocation.to(`https://www.wix.com/marketplace/hire/web-design`);
}, millisecondsToDelay);
} )
.catch( (err) => {
console.log(err);
} );
