backgroundtasks

Overview ¶

Package backgroundtasks runs Go now and then, with the app closed.

nimbus native plugin add background-tasks

func init() {
	backgroundtasks.Handle("sync", func(ctx context.Context) error {
		return uploadOrders(ctx)
	})
}

backgroundtasks.Schedule(ctx, "sync", time.Hour)

The system picks the moment, from how the phone is used, so treat the interval as a hint. Android runs a task at most every 15 minutes, and iOS far less often, and never after the person force-quits the app. A task has about 25 seconds. There is no screen: ui code doesn't run.
