Installation - browser

Installation - Node
Simply use npm
and require
:

var prettyCron = require('prettycron');
Usage
prettyCron exposes two methods, both of which take a cron specification as the only argument.
prettyCron.toString(cron)
Returns a human-readable sentence describing all the times this cron will run.
prettyCron.toString("37 10 * * * *");
prettyCron.getNext(cron)
Returns a string representing the next time this cron will run, formatted with moment's calendar() method.
prettyCron.getNext("0 * * * *");
