set-clock-interval v1.0.1

Set Clock Interval

Set an interval based on the local time for callbacks

Usage

const setClockInterval = require('set-clock-interval')
setClockInterval('HH:MM:SS', callback, params1,params2,..)

The time has to be a string with hours:minutes:seconds in 24 hour clock that you want the callback to occur. Time of callback is based on your current server's clock.

The callback is the function that is to be called, and params are the callback's parameters.

Example

const setClockInterval = require('set-clock-interval')

function add(one, two, three){
    return one + two + three
}

setClockInterval('03:00:00', add, 1, 2, 3)

At 3 am system clock, the function 'add' will be called with the parameters 1, 2, and 3. The function 'add' will keep being called at 3 am until the program is cancelled.

const setClockInterval = require('set-clock-interval')

function sayHello(){
    console.log("Hello World!")
}

var hello = setClockInterval('20:30:00', sayHello)
clearInterval(hello)

At 8:30 pm system clock, the function 'sayHello' will be called once. The clearInterval stop the execution of the interval from being called every 24 hours, but does not clear the first execution.
