titleTo test this, we can set the component to run every 2 seconds using component.setTimer{delay=}

This is a complete little program to increment a custom number field:

Code Block
require "COUNT.COUNT"

function main(Data)
   --Poll the component every 2 seconds
   component.setTimer{delay=2000}
   local NextId = COUNTget("NextId")
   NextId = NextId+1
   COUNTset('NextId', NextId)
end

component.setTimer{} is used here to run main every 2 seconds.

This is how this library works.
