The cron syntax parsing is mostly James' while using timeout instead of interval is Craig's.\n\nAdditionally, this library goes beyond the basic cron syntax and allows you to supply a Date object. This will be used as the trigger for your callback. Cron syntax is still an acceptable CronTime format. Although the Cron patterns suported here extend on the standard Unix format to support seconds digits, leaving it off will default to 0 and match the Unix behavior.\n\nIf You Are Submitting Bugs/Issues\n=============\n\nBecause we can't magically know what you are doing to expose an issue, it is best if you provide a snippet of code. This snippet need not include your secret sauce, but it must replicate the issue you are describing. The issues that get closed without resolution tend to be the ones without code examples. Thanks.\n\n\nVersions and Backwards compatability breaks:\n==========\n\nAs goes with semver, breaking backwards compatibility should be explicit in the versioning of your library. As such, we'll upgrade the version of this module in accordance with breaking changes (I'm not always great about doing it this way so if you notice that there are breaking changes that haven't been bumped appropriately please let me know). This table lists out the issues which were the reason for the break in backward compatibility.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Node Cron VerIssue #
1.0.0
\n\n\nUsage (basic cron usage):\n==========\n\n var cronJob = require('cron').CronJob;\n new cronJob('* * * * * *', function(){\n console.log('You will see this message every second');\n }, null, true, \"America/Los_Angeles\");\n \n\nAvailable Cron patterns:\n==========\n\n Asterisk. E.g. *\n Ranges. E.g. 1-3,5\n Steps. E.g. */2\n \n[Read up on cron patterns here](http://crontab.org).\n\nAnother cron example\n==========\n\n var cronJob = require('cron').CronJob;\n var job = new cronJob('00 30 11 * * 1-5', function(){\n // Runs every weekday (Monday through Friday)\n // at 11:30:00 AM. It does not run on Saturday\n // or Sunday.\n }, function () {\n // This function is executed when the job stops\n }, \n true /* Start the job right now */,\n timeZone /* Time zone of this job. */\n );\n\nAnother example with Date\n==========\n\n var cronJob = require('cron').CronJob;\n var job = new cronJob(new Date(), function(){\n //runs once at the specified date.\n }, function () {\n // This function is executed when the job stops\n }, \n true /* Start the job right now */,\n timeZone /* Time zone of this job. */\n );\n\nFor good measure\n==========\n\n var cronJob = require('cron').CronJob;\n var job = new cronJob({\n cronTime: '00 30 11 * * 1-5',\n onTick: function() {\n // Runs every weekday (Monday through Friday)\n // at 11:30:00 AM. It does not run on Saturday\n // or Sunday.\n },\n start: false,\n timeZone: \"America/Los_Angeles\"\n });\n job.start();\n\n\nHow to check if a cron pattern is valid:\n==========\n\n\t\ttry {\n\t\t\tnew cronJob('invalid cron pattern', function() {\n\t\t\t\tconsole.log('this should not be printed');\n\t\t\t})\n\t\t} catch(ex) {\n\t\t\tconsole.log(\"cron pattern not valid\");\n\t\t}\n\n\nInstall\n==========\n\n From source: `npm install`\n From npm: `npm install cron`\n\nIf you want to specify timezones, you'll need to install the [time](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-time) module or place an entry for it in your package.json file.\n\n `npm install time`\n\n\nAPI\n==========\n\nParameter Based\n\n`CronJob`\n\n * `constructor(cronTime, onTick, onComplete, start, timezone, context)` - Of note, the first parameter here can be a JSON object that has the below names and associated types (see examples above).\n * `cronTime` - [REQUIRED] - The time to fire off your job. This can be in the form of cron syntax or a JS [Date](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date) object.\n * `onTick` - [REQUIRED] - The function to fire at the specified time.\n * `onComplete` - [OPTIONAL] - A function that will fire when the job is complete, when it is stopped.\n * `start` - [OPTIONAL] - Specifies whether to start the job after just before exiting the constructor.\n * `timezone` - [OPTIONAL] - Specify the timezone for the execution. This will modify the actual time relative to your timezone.\n * `context` - [OPTIONAL] - The context within which to execute the onTick method. This defaults to the cronjob itself allowing you to call `this.stop()`. However, if you change this you'll have access to the functions and values within your context object.\n * `start` - Runs your job.\n * `stop` - Stops your job.\n\n`CronTime`\n\n * `constructor(time)`\n * `time` - [REQUIRED] - The time to fire off your job. This can be in the form of cron syntax or a JS [Date](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date) object.\n\nContributors\n===========\n\n* [Romain Beauxis][toots]\n* [James Padolsey][jamespadolsey]\n* [Craig Condon][crcn]\n* [Finn Herpich][errorprone]\n* [cliftonc][cliftonc]\n* [neyric][neyric]\n* [humanchimp][humanchimp]\n* [danhbear][danhbear]\n\nLicense\n==========\n\nMIT\n\n\n[toots]:http://github.com/toots\n[jamespadolsey]:http://github.com/padolsey\n[crcn]:http://github.com/crcn\n[cliftonc]:http://github.com/cliftonc\n[neyric]:http://github.com/neyric\n[humanchimp]:http://github.com/humanchimp\n[errorprone]:http://github.com/ErrorProne\n[danhbear]:http://github.com/danhbear\n", "readmeFilename": "README.md", "_id": "cron@1.0.1", "dist": { "shasum": "f9cca31b0926c4deba5008adfdd551f27b7bf81d" }, "_from": "cron@~1.0.1", "_resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/cron/-/cron-1.0.1.tgz" }
