UBER CRON

Enhanced cron job scheduling with features you didn't know you need! Based on cron: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cron

What has been added

The following functionality was implemented on top of the cron package:

• Control the number of executions that run in parallel using the numParallelExecutions paramter.
• Configure whether a job should be stopped if an execution error occurs.
• Uses a provided logger object to log the following events:
  • JOB_STARTED: A job has been started
  • JOB_STOPPED: A job has been stoppped
  • JOB_EXECUTION_STARTING: The onTick method of a job is about to be executed
  • JOB_EXECUTION_FINISHED: The onTick method of a job finished successfully
  • JOB_EXECUTION_ERROR: An error occured during the execution of the job's onTick method
  • REACHED_MAX_PARALLEL_EXECUTIONS: The maximum number of parallel job executions has been reached (the request to start another job execution has been ignored)

Installation

Installation is straight forward with npm:

npm i uber-cron

Examples

const cronJob = new UberCron('simpleJob', {
  cronTime: '*/1 * * * * *',
  start: true,

});
 
setTimeout(() => cronJob.stop(), 3500);
