jsm-scheduler

jsm-scheduler

A lightweight and intuitive job scheduler library for Node.js. Leverage decorators to define and manage cron jobs in a clean and scalable way.

Features

• Schedule jobs using simple decorators like @Cron, @Delay, @MaxFreezeTime, etc.
• Supports production-only jobs with @ProductionOnly.
• Modular and clean architecture.
• Built on top of the powerful node-schedule library.

Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install jsm-scheduler

Or with yarn:

yarn add jsm-scheduler

Usage

Basic Example

Here is how you can use jsm-scheduler to define and manage scheduled tasks:

1. Define Your Scheduler Class

import { Scheduler, Cron, Delay, MaxFreezeTime, TaskName, ProductionOnly } from 'jsm-scheduler';

@Scheduler
class TaskScheduler {
  
  @Cron('0 0 0 * * *')
  @Delay(1000) // Adds a 1-second delay before execution
  @MaxFreezeTime(15 * 60 * 1000) // Ensures tasks are frozen for a maximum of 15 minutes
  @TaskName('midnightTask') // Custom task name
  @ProductionOnly() // Executes only in production environments
  async midnightTask() {
    console.log('Executing midnight task logic...');
    // Add your custom task logic here
  }
}

2. Initialize the Scheduler

Simply import the file containing your scheduler class to initialize it:

// index.ts
import './task-scheduler'; // Import your scheduler class

When you run your application, the scheduler will automatically register and execute the defined jobs.

Advanced Example

You can define multiple jobs with different configurations:

import { Scheduler, Cron, Delay, TaskName } from 'jsm-scheduler';

@Scheduler
class AdvancedScheduler {
  @Cron('*/10 * * * * *') // Runs every 10 seconds
  @TaskName('heartbeat')
  async heartbeatTask() {
    console.log('Heartbeat task running...');
  }

  @Cron('0 0 12 * * *') // Runs every day at noon
  async dailyReportTask() {
    console.log('Generating daily report...');
    // Your report generation logic here
  }
}

Decorators

@Cron(cron: string)

Defines the cron expression for the task.

@Delay(delay: number)

Adds a delay (in milliseconds) before the task execution.

@MaxFreezeTime(maxFreezeTime: number)

Ensures a task cannot be frozen for more than the specified time (in milliseconds).

@TaskName(name: string)

Sets a custom name for the task.

@ProductionOnly()

Restricts the execution of the task to production environments (NODE_ENV=production).
