Extend with Go - Jobs scheduling - Docs

If you have tasks that need to be performed periodically, you could setup crontab-like jobs with the builtin cron package .

Each scheduled job runs in its own goroutine and must have:

name - identifier for the scheduled job; could be used to replace or remove an existing job
cron expression like 0 0 * * * ( supports numeric list, steps, ranges or macros )
handler - the function that will be executed everytime when the job runs

Here is an example:

// main.go
package main

import (
    "log"

    "github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase"
    "github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/core"
    "github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/tools/cron"
)

func main() {
    app := pocketbase.New()

    app.OnBeforeServe().Add(func(e *core.ServeEvent) error {
        scheduler := cron.New()

        // prints "Hello!" every 2 minutes
        scheduler.MustAdd("hello", "*/2 * * * *", func() {
            log.Println("Hello!")
        })

        scheduler.Start()

        return nil
    })

    if err := app.Start(); err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
}
