how to return a Result every time interval from loop in a websocket please

[Menzer05]

I use it in a server which has to send a message to clients every minute
this is my eample:
else if &msg == "vosmsg"{
let mut i: i8 = 0;
let delay = time::Duration::from_secs(3);
while i < 5{
loop {
i += 1;
thread::sleep(delay);
getdb::donnees6()
.into_actor(self)
.map(|res, act, ctx| {
let bro: String = res.unwrap_or_else(|e| format!("{}", e));
ctx.text(bro);
// System::current().stop();
}).spawn(ctx);
}
}
}

thank you very much Mr Robjtede for this answer it will help me to solve my problem, I was going to use javascript on the client side to send me a message to myself. however, isn't there another way like in other languages to use a loop that sends a message every time please ???

Mr. @robjtede, please what do you suggest:

To be used in an SSE to return and emit periodic events, possibly from a database.

pub async fn broadcast_msg(
state: web::Data,
Path((msg,)): Path<(String,)>,
) -> impl Responder {
state.broadcaster.broadcast(&msg).await;
HttpResponse::Ok().body("msg sent")
}
