If you have tasks that need to be performed periodically, you could setup crontab-like jobs with
cronAdd(name, expr, handler)
.
Each scheduled job runs in its own goroutine as part of the serve
command process 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:
// prints "Hello!" every 2 minutes
cronAdd("hello", "*/2 * * * *", () => {
console.log("Hello!")
})
To remove a single registered cron job you can call cronRemove(name)
.
