Types

type Chain added in v0.27.0

type Chain struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Chain is a sequence of JobWrappers that decorates submitted jobs with cross-cutting behaviors like logging or synchronization.

func NewChain added in v0.27.0

func NewChain(c ...JobWrapper) Chain

NewChain returns a Chain consisting of the given JobWrappers.

func (Chain) Then added in v0.27.0

func (c Chain) Then(j Job) Job

Then decorates the given job with all JobWrappers in the chain.

This:

NewChain(m1, m2, m3).Then(job)

is equivalent to:

m1(m2(m3(job)))

type ConstantDelaySchedule added in v0.27.0

type ConstantDelaySchedule struct {
	Delay time.Duration
}

ConstantDelaySchedule represents a simple recurring duty cycle, e.g. "Every 5 minutes". It does not support jobs more frequent than once a second.

func Every added in v0.27.0

func Every(duration time.Duration) ConstantDelaySchedule

Every returns a crontab Schedule that activates once every duration. Delays of less than a second are not supported (will round up to 1 second). Any fields less than a Second are truncated.

func (ConstantDelaySchedule) Next added in v0.27.0

func (schedule ConstantDelaySchedule) Next(t time.Time) time.Time

Next returns the next time this should be run. This rounds so that the next activation time will be on the second.

type Cron

type Cron struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Cron keeps track of any number of entries, invoking the associated func as specified by the schedule. It may be started, stopped, and the entries may be inspected while running.

func New

func New(opts ...Option) *Cron

New returns a new Cron job runner, modified by the given options.

Available Settings

Time Zone
  Description: The time zone in which schedules are interpreted
  Default:     time.Local

Parser
  Description: Parser converts cron spec strings into cron.Schedules.
  Default:     Accepts this spec: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron

Chain
  Description: Wrap submitted jobs to customize behavior.
  Default:     A chain that recovers panics and logs them to stderr.

See "cron.With*" to modify the default behavior.

func (*Cron) AddFunc added in v0.27.0

func (c *Cron) AddFunc(spec string, cmd func()) (EntryID, error)

AddFunc adds a func to the Cron to be run on the given schedule. The spec is parsed using the time zone of this Cron instance as the default. An opaque ID is returned that can be used to later remove it.

func (*Cron) AddJob added in v0.27.0

func (c *Cron) AddJob(spec string, cmd Job) (EntryID, error)

AddJob adds a Job to the Cron to be run on the given schedule. The spec is parsed using the time zone of this Cron instance as the default. An opaque ID is returned that can be used to later remove it.

func (*Cron) Entries added in v0.27.0

func (c *Cron) Entries() []Entry

Entries returns a snapshot of the cron entries.

func (*Cron) Entry added in v0.27.0

func (c *Cron) Entry(id EntryID) Entry

Entry returns a snapshot of the given entry, or nil if it couldn't be found.

func (*Cron) Location added in v0.27.0

func (c *Cron) Location() *time.Location

Location gets the time zone location.

func (*Cron) Remove

func (c *Cron) Remove(id EntryID)

Remove an entry from being run in the future.

func (*Cron) Run added in v0.27.0

func (c *Cron) Run()

Run the cron scheduler, or no-op if already running.

func (*Cron) Schedule added in v0.27.0

func (c *Cron) Schedule(schedule Schedule, cmd Job) EntryID

Schedule adds a Job to the Cron to be run on the given schedule. The job is wrapped with the configured Chain.

func (*Cron) Start

func (c *Cron) Start()

Start the cron scheduler in its own goroutine, or no-op if already started.

func (*Cron) Stop

func (c *Cron) Stop() context.Context

Stop stops the cron scheduler if it is running; otherwise it does nothing. A context is returned so the caller can wait for running jobs to complete.

type Entry added in v0.27.0

type Entry struct {
	// ID is the cron-assigned ID of this entry, which may be used to look up a
	// snapshot or remove it.
	ID EntryID

	// Schedule on which this job should be run.
	Schedule Schedule

	// Next time the job will run, or the zero time if Cron has not been
	// started or this entry's schedule is unsatisfiable
	Next time.Time

	// Prev is the last time this job was run, or the zero time if never.
	Prev time.Time

	// WrappedJob is the thing to run when the Schedule is activated.
	WrappedJob Job

	// Job is the thing that was submitted to cron.
	// It is kept around so that user code that needs to get at the job later,
	// e.g. via Entries() can do so.
	Job Job
}

Entry consists of a schedule and the func to execute on that schedule.

func (Entry) Valid added in v0.27.0

type ParseOption added in v0.27.0

type ParseOption int

Configuration options for creating a parser. Most options specify which fields should be included, while others enable features. If a field is not included the parser will assume a default value. These options do not change the order fields are parsed in.

const (

	SecondOptional                         // Optional seconds field, default 0
	Minute                                 // Minutes field, default 0
	Hour                                   // Hours field, default 0
	Dom                                    // Day of month field, default *
	Month                                  // Month field, default *
	Dow                                    // Day of week field, default *
	DowOptional                            // Optional day of week field, default *

	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A custom Parser that can be configured.

func NewParser added in v0.27.0

func NewParser(options ParseOption) Parser

NewParser creates a Parser with custom options.

It panics if more than one Optional is given, since it would be impossible to correctly infer which optional is provided or missing in general.

Examples

// Standard parser without descriptors
specParser := NewParser(Minute | Hour | Dom | Month | Dow)
sched, err := specParser.Parse("0 0 15 */3 *")

// Same as above, just excludes time fields
specParser := NewParser(Dom | Month | Dow)
sched, err := specParser.Parse("15 */3 *")

// Same as above, just makes Dow optional
specParser := NewParser(Dom | Month | DowOptional)
sched, err := specParser.Parse("15 */3")

func (Parser) Parse added in v0.27.0

func (p Parser) Parse(spec string) (Schedule, error)

Parse returns a new crontab schedule representing the given spec. It returns a descriptive error if the spec is not valid. It accepts crontab specs and features configured by NewParser.

type Schedule

	// Next returns the next activation time, later than the given time.
	// Next is invoked initially, and then each time the job is run.
	Next(time.Time) time.Time
}

Schedule describes a job's duty cycle.

func ParseStandard added in v0.27.0

func ParseStandard(standardSpec string) (Schedule, error)

ParseStandard returns a new crontab schedule representing the given standardSpec (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron). It requires 5 entries representing: minute, hour, day of month, month and day of week, in that order. It returns a descriptive error if the spec is not valid.

It accepts

  • Standard crontab specs, e.g. "* * * * ?"
  • Descriptors, e.g. "@midnight", "@every 1h30m"

type ScheduleParser added in v0.27.0

type ScheduleParser interface {
	Parse(spec string) (Schedule, error)

	Second, Minute, Hour, Dom, Month, Dow uint64

	// Override location for this schedule.
	Location *time.Location

func (*SpecSchedule) Next added in v0.27.0
