The node-cron module is tiny task scheduler in pure JavaScript for node.js based on [GNU crontab](https://www.gnu.org/software/mcron/manual/html_node/Crontab-file.html). This module allows you to schedule task in node.js using full crontab syntax.

[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/node-cron.png?downloads=true&downloadRank=true&stars=false)](https://nodei.co/npm/node-cron/)


## Getting Started

Install node-cron using npm:

```console
$ npm install --save node-cron
```

Import node-cron and schedule a task:

```javascript
var cron = require('node-cron');

cron.schedule('* * * * *', () => {
  console.log('running a task every minute');
});
```

## Cron Syntax

This is a quick reference to cron syntax and also shows the options supported by node-cron.

### Allowed fields

```
 # ┌────────────── second (optional)
 # │ ┌──────────── minute
 # │ │ ┌────────── hour
 # │ │ │ ┌──────── day of month
 # │ │ │ │ ┌────── month
 # │ │ │ │ │ ┌──── day of week
 # │ │ │ │ │ │
 # │ │ │ │ │ │
 # * * * * * *
```

### Allowed values

|     field    |        value        |
|--------------|---------------------|
|    second    |         0-59        |
|    minute    |         0-59        |
|     hour     |         0-23        |
| day of month |         1-31        |
|     month    |     1-12 (or names) |
|  day of week |     0-7 (or names, 0 or 7 are sunday)  |


#### Using multiples values

You may use multiples values separated by comma:

```javascript
var cron = require('node-cron');

cron.schedule('1,2,4,5 * * * *', () => {
  console.log('running every minute 1, 2, 4 and 5');
});
```

#### Using ranges

You may also define a range of values:

```javascript
var cron = require('node-cron');

cron.schedule('1-5 * * * *', () => {
  console.log('running every minute to 1 from 5');
});
```

#### Using step values

Step values can be used in conjunction with ranges, following a range with '/' and a number. e.g: `1-10/2` that is the same as `2,4,6,8,10`. Steps are also permitted after an asterisk, so if you want to say “every two minutes”, just use `*/2`.

```javascript
var cron = require('node-cron');

cron.schedule('*/2 * * * *', () => {
  console.log('running a task every two minutes');
});
```

#### Using names

For month and week day you also may use names or short names. e.g:

```javascript
var cron = require('node-cron');

cron.schedule('* * * January,September Sunday', () => {
  console.log('running on Sundays of January and September');
});
```

Or with short names:

```javascript
var cron = require('node-cron');

cron.schedule('* * * Jan,Sep Sun', () => {
  console.log('running on Sundays of January and September');
});
```

## Cron methods

### Schedule

Schedules given task to be executed whenever the cron expression ticks.

Arguments:

- **expression** `string`: Cron expression
- **function** `Function`: Task to be executed
- **options** `Object`: Optional configuration for job scheduling.

#### Options

 - **scheduled**: A `boolean` to set if the created task is scheduled. Default `true`;
 - **timezone**: The timezone that is used for job scheduling. See [moment-timezone](https://momentjs.com/timezone) for valid values.

 **Example**:

 ```js
  var cron = require('node-cron');

  cron.schedule('0 1 * * *', () => {
    console.log('Running a job at 01:00 at America/Sao_Paulo timezone');
  }, {
    scheduled: true,
    timezone: "America/Sao_Paulo"
  });
 ```

## ScheduledTask methods

### Start

Starts the scheduled task.

```javascript
var cron = require('node-cron');

var task = cron.schedule('* * * * *', () =>  {
  console.log('stopped task');
}, {
  scheduled: false
});

task.start();
```

### Stop

The task won't be executed unless re-started.

```javascript
var cron = require('node-cron');

var task = cron.schedule('* * * * *', () =>  {
  console.log('will execute every minute until stopped');
});

task.stop();
```

### Destroy

The task will be stopped and completely destroyed.

```javascript
var cron = require('node-cron');

var task = cron.schedule('* * * * *', () =>  {
  console.log('will not execute anymore, nor be able to restart');
});

task.destroy();
```

### Validate

Validate that the given string is a valid cron expression.

```javascript
var cron = require('node-cron');

var valid = cron.validate('59 * * * *');
var invalid = cron.validate('60 * * * *');
```
