This crate provides a library to schedule multiple and periodic tasks on the Internet Computer.

Example
-------

In `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
ic-cdk-timers = "0.1.1"
```

To schedule a one-shot task to be executed 1s later:

```rust
ic_cdk_timers::set_timer(Duration::from_secs(1), || ic_cdk::println!("Hello from the future!"));
```
