Style Cron Job is periodic operations executor and definator with basic syntax. You can define a period and run your process with your own executor or through the controller.

Features

For the second, minute, hour, day, week, and month timepieces, you can specify periods such as "Each x in y time" or "Every x , in y time".

It has a simple syntax, close to spoken language. Like this:

each.day.atHour(10).atMinute(20);
every.x(1).day.atHour(10).atMinute(20);

Both are mean "each day 10:20:00".

How does it work?

It basically uses the mechanism of checking once per second with Stream.periodic . Checks if it is necessary. If necessary, the process is started. Every checking is small process in ends with ~0.0012 ms (60k check in 77ms)

It was necessary to check every second for less ram consumption than Future.delayed or Timer until the next time, which is other methods.

Moreover, multiple cron jobs can be run on a single Stream.periodic.

Additional condition

Can define additional condition like,

each.day.atHour(10).atMinute(20).only((time) {  
  return time.weekday != 7; // except sunday
});

Getting started

1 ) Define Period

There are 2 different options to start defining a period: each , every.

each is used for each month, week, day, hour, minute and second. every is used for needs such as once every 3 days, once every 2 months.

each.**
every.x(3).**

** must be month, week , day , hour , minute, second for both,

Specify run time in sub time segments

For example "each day at 10:20:30"

each.day.atHour(10).atMinute(20).atSecond(30);

Default hour , minute and second is 0. Default weekday , day is 1.

at* subsegments can be used sequentially

Generated sub time segments

You can use subsegments of a certain time.

each.day.fromNowOn(DateTime.now());
each.day.fromNowOn(); // default DateTime.now()

2) Start

Listen

var period = each.day.onMinute(10);
period.listen((t) {  
    // do on each day 00:10
});
period.dispose();

Stream

var stream = each.minute.fromNowOn().asStream();
// eg starting 00:10:38
stream.listen((time){
	// Do on each minute on 38. second
});
// Don't forget
stream.cancel();

Controller

Controller manages all operations with a single stream. So this is the most effective type of use.

var runner = CronJobController();
runner.add(each.second.asRunner((time) {  
  // Do on each second
}));
runner.add(every.x(10).second.asRunner((time) {  
  // Do on every 10 seconds
}));

// Start
runner.start();

Custom

You can check period for necessary calling with time.

	var period = each.second.period;
	var necessary = period.isNecessary(DateTime.now());
	if (necessary) {
		// Do
	}

Usage Examples

Each Week on Saturday at 23:45 (11:45 PM)

each.week.onWeekDay(6).atHour(23).atMinute(45);

---

Each Week on Monday at 09:00

each.week.onWeekDay(1).atHour(9);

---

Each Month on 15th at 09:00

each.month.onDay(15).atHour(9);

---

Once of every 3 days at 00:00:59

every.x(3).day.atSecond(59);
