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 |
DateTime | ISO 8601 combined date and time with time zone. |
Duration | ISO 8601 time duration with nanosecond precision. This also allows for the negative duration; see individual methods for details. |
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
DateResult | Every task will return this |
