Simple Job Scheduler
This is a simple JavaScript scheduling system written in TypeScript.
It is a small wrapper around the setInterval
JavaScript function.
Usage
// you should keep only one scheduler instance in your project
// (using either a static reference or using a dependency injection system)
const scheduler = new Scheduler();
// the job will be executed every second
const job = scheduler.schedule('job name', () => console.log('Hello World!'), 1000);
// after some time...
job.cancel();
Why create a library instead of using setInterval
?
Have you ever inadvertently launched multiple times the same job? Do you ever wonder if your jobs has successfully been cancelled? Simple Job Scheduler tries to address these issues:
- If the same running job is scheduled twice or more, only the first scheduling time will be taken into account (a job is identified by its name)
- The method
scheduler.runningJobs()
returns all the running jobs
