prettyCron is a simple JavaScript deuglifier for cron schedules: it prints out a human-readable interpretation of when the schedule will run.
For examples...
... check out the project home page.
Installation - browser
Include prettycron.js after adding moment.js and later.js.
<script src="moment.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="later.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="prettycron.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Installation - Node
Simply use npm
and require
:
$ npm install prettycron
var prettyCron = require('prettycron');
Usage
prettyCron exposes two methods, both of which take a cron specification as the only argument.
prettyCron.toString(cron)
Returns a human-readable sentence describing all the times this cron will run.
prettyCron.toString("37 10 * * * *");
// returns "10:37 every day"
prettyCron.getNext(cron)
Returns a string representing the next time this cron will run, formatted with moment's calendar() method.
prettyCron.getNext("0 * * * *");
// if current time is 4:45pm, then returns "Today at 5:00 PM"
