“I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date!” by “The White Rabbit” 『Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland』
white_rabbit schedules your tasks and can repeat them!
One funny use case are chat bot commands: Imagine a remind me-command, the command gets executed and you simply create a one-time job to be scheduled for whatever time the user desires.
We are using chrono’s DateTime<Utc>, enabling you to serialise and thus
backup currently running tasks,
in case you want to shutdown/restart your application,
constructing a new scheduler is doable.
However, please make sure your internal clock is synced.
Structs§
- Context
- When a task is due, this will be passed to the task. Currently, there is not much use to this. However, this might be extended in the future.
- Date
- Every job gets a planned
Datewith the scheduler. - Date
Time - ISO 8601 combined date and time with time zone.
- Scheduler
- This scheduler exists on two levels: The handle, granting you the ability of adding new tasks, and the executor, dating and executing these tasks when specified time is met.
- Utc
- The UTC time zone. This is the most efficient time zone when you don’t need the local time. It is also used as an offset (which is also a dummy type).
Enums§
- Date
Result - Every task will return this
enum.
