Node-Schedulerjs

A simple scheduler to help you schedule functions using javascript Date object or Crontab formatted string

Installation:

Using npm:

npm install node-schedulerjs

Usage:

You can pass in a Javascript Date Object or a string in Crontab format:

Using Date Object:

var scheduler = require('node-schedulerjs');
 
var now = new Date().getTime();
var future = new Date(now + 5000);
var task = new scheduler(future, function(){
    console.log("triggers after 5 seconds");
});
task.start();

Using Crontab format string:

var scheduler = require('node-schedulerjs');
 
var task = new scheduler('* * * * *', function(){
    console.log("triggers every miniute");
});
task.start();

if you want to stop a scheduled task:

var scheduler = require('node-schedulerjs');
 
var task = new scheduler('* * * * *', function(){
    console.log("triggers every miniute");
});
task.start();
task.stop(); // no statement will be printed since we stopped the task;
