Tasty task scheduler with a mungable internal clock filling.

## Install

$ npm install --save cronut

## Usage

### Schedule Tasks

```js
import cronut from 'cronut';

const cron = cronut();

cron('0 0 0 * * *', () => {
console.log('another hour');
});

cron('0 0 * * * *', () => {
console.log('another minute');
});

cron('* * * * * *', () => {
console.log('another second');
});

cron('0 30 0,12 * * 1-5', () => {
console.log('12:30 AM and PM on weekdays');
});
```

### Unschedule Tasks

```js
const removeTask = cron('0 * * * * *', () => {
// only run 10 or so times
console.log('another second');
});

// Unschedule after 10 seconds
setTimeout(removeTask, 10000);
```

## API

### cronut()

Creates a new task scheduler.

```js
import cronut from 'cronut';

const cron = cronut();
```

### cron(pattern, task[, options]) : Function
### cron.addTask(pattern, task[, options]) : Function

- `pattern` `String`
- `task` `Function`
- `options` `Object`
- `resolution` `Number` Default: `100`.

Patterns are any valid pattern supported by [`cron`](http://npm.im/cron). The task is the function to be executed at the appointed times. Returns a function to stop the task.

```js
cron('* * * * * *', () => {
console.log('another second');
});

// same as

cron.addTask('* * * * * *', () => {
console.log('another second');
});

// removable

const removeTask = cron.addTask('* * * * * *', () => {
console.log('another second');
});

removeTask();
```

### cron.now(fn)

- `fn` `Function`

Sets the [`moment.now`](http://momentjs.com/docs/#/customization/now/) function and resets internal cron timers.

```js
cron.now(() => {
// It's tomorrow! Heh heh.
return Number(new Date()) + (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
});
```

## Why?

There are a bunch of task schedulers already available, but none of them allowed me to mess with the internal clock for timeline manipulation or testing purposes.
