Minicron

A simple utility for scheduling functions at fixed intervals (seconds, minutes, hours, days) using setInterval().

Installation

Include the module in your project:

npm install minicron

API

All methods return a Timer object that clearInterval can use as ID to cancel the cron execution.

const cronID = cron.seconds(amount, fn, ...args)

Run a function every amount seconds.

cron.seconds(5, () => {
  console.log('Runs every 5 seconds');
});

const cronID = cron.minutes(amount, fn, ...args)

Run a function every amount minutes.

cron.minutes(2, () => {
  console.log('Runs every 2 minutes');
});

const cronID = cron.hours(amount, fn, ...args)

Run a function every amount hours.

cron.hours(1, () => {
  console.log('Runs every 1 hour');
});

const cronID = cron.days(amount, fn, ...args)

Run a function every amount days.

cron.days(1, () => {
  console.log('Runs every 1 day');
});

Example

const cron = require('minicron');

cron.seconds(10, () => console.log('Every 10 seconds'));
cron.minutes(1, () => console.log('Every minute'));
cron.hours(1, () => console.log('Every hour'));
cron.days(1, () => console.log('Every day'));

Notes

• The methods use setInterval() and will run indefinitely.
• You can manually stop the intervals using clearInterval(cronID) if needed.
