Blynk.begin enters endless loop

Need Help With My Project
1

Hello everyone

I did a door security project to use rfid and esp8266 Nodemcu . My code is good working but i have a problem.

My problem:

If there is no internet connection and esp has just started, the code goes into an infinite loop within the Blynk.begin function. But if there is no connection, I want it to continue offline and only try to connect to the internet every 20 seconds.

My code:

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);  // Seri haberleşmeyi başlatıyoruz.                                         
  SPI.begin();         // Spi haberleşme başlatıldı.                                       
  mfrc522.PCD_Init();  // Rfid modül başlatıldı.
  // röle,ledler,ve buton için giriş çıkış atandı.

  pinMode(relay,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(green,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(red,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(yellow,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(button,INPUT);
  Blynk.begin(auth,ssid,pass);  //Blynk başlatıldı.
}

i am so sorry for my bad english

@Musakucuk please edit your post, using the pencil icon at the bottom, and add triple backticks at the beginning and end of your code so that it displays correctly.
Triple backticks look like this:

Blynk.begin is a blocking function.
If it can’t establish a WiFi connection or a connection to the Blynk server then it will block all code execution beyond that point.

The solution is to change your sketch so that you manage your own WiFi connection, then use Blynk.config and Blynk.connect to try to establish the Blynk connection. if either of these connections cannot be established then you continue in “standalone” mode and probably re-try the WiFi, and if successful the Blynk connections, after a a suitable amount of time has passed.

If you search the forum for Blynk.config you will see this issue discussed in detail.

Also, I’d recommend that you try to clean your void loop up as much as possible. I realise that this is difficult when using RFID readers, but you should at least be using a timer rather than doing all of the millis comparisons.

Thank you very much for your response, Pete.
But the Blynk.config topics in the forum are very complex. I wonder if there is a quick source where I can reach results

Hello in the void setup replace Blynk.begin with

Blynk.config (wifi, auth);
Blynk.connectWiFi (ssid, pass);

in this way it does not block
