@hyperflake/job-scheduler v1.0.0

@code-crafts/job-scheduler

A simple and effective job scheduling module for Node.js, designed to manage and execute tasks based on cron-like schedules. This module utilizes node-schedule for precise timing and flexibility, making it ideal for applications that require specific timing tasks.

Features

• Cron-like Scheduling: Schedule tasks to run at specific times or intervals using cron syntax.
• Dynamic Job Management: Dynamically add, cancel, and invoke scheduled jobs.
• Graceful Shutdown: Includes a method to gracefully shut down all scheduled jobs, ensuring no tasks are left hanging.

Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install @code-crafts/job-scheduler

Usage

Basic Setup

Create a Scheduler Instance

import { JobScheduler } from '@code-crafts/job-scheduler';

const jobScheduler = new JobScheduler();

Schedule Jobs

Schedule a job to run every 10 seconds:

jobScheduler.schedule('test', '*/10 * * * * *', () => {
    console.log('Job test called');
});

Schedule another job to run every 5 seconds:

jobScheduler.schedule('test2', '*/5 * * * * *', () => {
    console.log('Job test2 called');
});

Manually Invoke a Job

setTimeout(() => {
    jobScheduler.invoke('test');
}, 1000);

Cancel a Job

setTimeout(() => {
    jobScheduler.cancel('test2');
}, 6000);

Destroy the Scheduler

jobScheduler.destroy();

API

• schedule(jobName: string, spec: string, cb: Function): Schedules a new job.
• cancel(jobName: string): Cancels a scheduled job.
• invoke(jobName: string): Manually triggers a scheduled job.
• destroy(): Gracefully shuts down all scheduled jobs and clears the job map.

Examples

Here's a complete example of setting up the scheduler, scheduling jobs, and then cleaning up:

const scheduler = new JobScheduler();

scheduler.schedule('minuteJob', '0 * * * * *', () => {
    console.log('This job runs every minute.');
});

setTimeout(() => {
    scheduler.invoke('minuteJob');
}, 5000);

setTimeout(() => {
    scheduler.cancel('minuteJob');
    scheduler.destroy();
}, 10000);
