# nim-schedules
A Nim scheduler library that lets you kick off jobs at regular intervals.
Read the [documentation](https://www.soasme.com/nim-schedules/schedules.html).
Features:
* Simple to use API for scheduling jobs.
* Support scheduling both async and sync procs.
* Lightweight and zero dependencies.
## Getting Started
```bash
$ nimble install schedules
```
## Usage
```nim
# File: scheduleExample.nim
import schedules, times, asyncdispatch
schedules:
every(seconds=10, id="tick"):
echo("tick", now())
every(seconds=10, id="atick", async=true):
echo("tick", now())
await sleepAsync(3000)
```
1. Schedule thread proc every 10 seconds.
2. Schedule async proc every 10 seconds.
Run:
```bash
nim c --threads:on -r scheduleExample.nim
```
Note:
* Don't forget **`--threads:on`** when compiling your application.
* The library schedules all jobs at a regular interval, but it'll be impacted
by your system load.
## Advance Usages
### Cron
You can use `cron` to schedule jobs using cron-like syntax.
```nim
import schedules, times, asyncdispatch
schedules:
cron(minute="*/1", hour="*", day_of_month="*", month="*", day_of_week="*", id="tick"):
echo("tick", now())
cron(minute="*/1", hour="*", day_of_month="*", month="*", day_of_week="*", id="atick", async=true):
echo("tick", now())
await sleepAsync(3000)
```
1. Schedule thread proc every minute.
2. Schedule async proc every minute.
### Throttling
By default, only one instance of the job is to be scheduled at the same time.
If a job hasn't finished but the next run time has come, the next job will
not be scheduled.
You can allow more instances by specifying `throttle=`. For example:
```nim
import schedules, times, asyncdispatch, os
schedules:
every(seconds=1, id="tick", throttle=2):
echo("tick", now())
sleep(2000)
every(seconds=1, id="async tick", async=true, throttle=2):
echo("async tick", now())
await sleepAsync(4000)
```
### Customize Scheduler
Sometimes, you want to run the scheduler in parallel with other libraries.
In this case, you can create your own scheduler by macro `scheduler` and
start it later.
Below is an example of co-exist jester and nim-schedules in one process.
```nim
import times, asyncdispatch, schedules, jester
scheduler mySched:
every(seconds=1, id="sync tick"):
echo("sync tick, seconds=1 ", now())
router myRouter:
get "/":
resp "It's alive!"
proc main():
# start schedules
asyncCheck mySched.start()
# start jester
let port = paramStr(1).parseInt().Port
let settings = newSettings(port=port)
var jester = initJester(myrouter, settings=settings)
# run
jester.serve()
when isMainModule:
main()
```
### Set Start Time and End Time
You can limit the schedules running in a designated range of time by specifying
`startTime` and `endTime`.
For example,
```nim
import schedules, times, asyncdispatch, os
scheduler demoSetRange:
every(
seconds=1,
id="tick",
startTime=initDateTime(2019, 1, 1),
endTime=now()+initDuration(seconds=10)
):
echo("tick", now())
when isMainModule:
waitFor demoSetRange.start()
```
Parameters `startTime` and `endTime` can be used independently. For example,
you can set startTime only, or set endTime only.
