Crate clokwerk[−][src]
Clokwerk, a simple scheduler
Clokwerk is a simple scheduler, inspired by Python's Schedule and Ruby's clockwork. It uses a similar DSL for scheduling, rather than parsing cron strings.
Usage
// Scheduler, and trait for .seconds(), .minutes(), etc. use clokwerk::{Scheduler, TimeUnits}; // Import week days and WeekDay use clokwerk::Interval::*; use std::thread; use std::time::Duration; // Create a new scheduler let mut scheduler = Scheduler::new(); // Add some tasks to it scheduler.every(10.minutes()).plus(30.seconds()).run(|| println!("Periodic task")); scheduler.every(1.day()).at("3:20 pm").run(|| println!("Daily task")); scheduler.every(Wednesday).at("14:20:17").run(|| println!("Weekly task")); scheduler.every(Tuesday).at("14:20:17").and_every(Thursday).at("15:00").run(|| println!("Biweekly task")); scheduler.every(Weekday).run(|| println!("Every weekday at midnight")); // Manually run the scheduler in an event loop for _ in 1..10 { scheduler.run_pending(); thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(10)); } // Or run it in a background thread let thread_handle = scheduler.watch_thread(Duration::from_millis(100)); // The scheduler stops when `thread_handle` is dropped, or `stop` is called thread_handle.stop();
Caveats
Some combinations of times or intervals are permissible, but make little sense, e.g. every(10.seconds()).at("16:00")
, which would next run at the next 4 PM after the next multiple of 10 seconds.
Similar libraries
- schedule-rs and job_scheduler are two other Rust scheduler libraries. Both use
cron
syntax for scheduling.
Structs
Job |
A job to run on the scheduler.
Create these by calling |
ScheduleHandle |
Guard object for the scheduler background thread. The thread is terminated if this object is dropped, or ScheduleHandle::stop() is called |
Scheduler |
Job scheduler |
Enums
Interval |
Traits
TimeUnits |
A trait for easily expressing common intervals. Each method generates an appropriate Interval. Plural and non-plural forms behave identically, but exist to make code more grammatical. |
