Go Scheduler

Minimalistic scheduler library for GoLang.

Installation

go get github.com/dl1998/go-scheduler

or

go install github.com/dl1998/go-scheduler@v1.0.0

Usage

Check examples provided in the examples.

For scheduling a new task:

taskName := "Task Name"
taskStartTime := nil // To schedule immediately.
taskDuration := 10 * time.Second // How long it will be active (10 seconds).
taskInterval := time.Second // Periodicity with which function will be executed (every second).
taskFunction := function(task *Task, name: string) {
	fmt.Printf("Hello, %s!\n", name)
}

newScheduler := scheduler.New()

newTask := newScheduler.ScheduleTask(taskName, taskStartTime, taskDuration, taskInterval, taskFunction, "world")

By default program will be interrupted if there is no other code to be performed. In order to wait until task will be completed use:

newTask.Wait()

It will block program execution and wait until task will be completed. Alternatively you could use sleep:

time.Sleep(taskDuration)

However, if you want to interrupt task before it has been finished, you could do it manually using:

newScheduler.StopTask(newTask)
