What is this?
Simulate live analytics: append events to a list and update counters every second with setInterval or mock WebSocket.
Why should you care?
Teaches timers, DOM updates, and handling streams of data.
See it live — copy this example
Paste into an HTML file or the browser console (F12). Use Run below when the live editor is available.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><body>
<h2>Live views: <span id="views">0</span></h2>
<ul id="log"></ul>
<script>
let views = 0;
const log = document.getElementById("log");
setInterval(() => {
views += Math.floor(Math.random() * 5);
document.getElementById("views").textContent = views;
const li = document.createElement("li");
li.textContent = `+${views} at ${new Date().toLocaleTimeString()}`;
log.prepend(li);
if (log.children.length > 5) log.lastChild.remove();
}, 1000);
</script></body></html>Run Example »
Edit the code below and click Run to see the result in Toolliyo’s live editor.
What happened?
- Random increment simulates traffic.
- In production use SSE or WebSocket.
Practice next
- Show counter updating every second.
- Append events to log ul newest first.
- Cap log at 100 items.
- Color log entries green when jump > 3 views.
- Replace random increment with fetch to mock /metrics endpoint.
Remember
Live counter + event log setInterval or WebSocket Batch DOM updates
