daily-at

run a function once a day at 3:15am UTC

import { dailyAt } from "daily-at";

dailyAt("03:15", () => {
    console.log("Hello World!");
}, {    
    // all options are optional
    killOnError: true,              // default: false
    runOnInit: true,                // default: false
    onError: e => console.log(e)    // no default
})

options

  • killOnError (default: false) will stop executing the function if there is an error.
  • runOnInit (default: false) will execute the function once when the script is initiated, as well as periodically.
  • onError optional callback function when the script causes an error. The error is passed to the callback function.

run a function 15 minutes past every hour

import { hourlyAt } from "daily-at";

hourlyAt(15, () => {
    console.log("Hello World!");
})

run a function every Monday at 7:15am UTC

import { weeklyAt } from "daily-at";

weeklyAt("monday", "07:15" () => {
    console.log("Hello World!");
})
NOTE: you can use, for example, 1 instead of "monday". (Sunday = 0, Saturday = 6)

run a function on the 4th of every Month at 9:00am UTC

import { monthlyAt } from "daily-at";

monthlyAt(4, "9:00" () => {
    console.log("Hello World!");
})
NOTE: if you choose any date greater than 28, it will skip months that do not have that many days.

hourly, daily, weekly

The difference between daily and dailyAt is that dailyAt will execute the function at a specific time. Whereas daily will execute the script once every 24 hours from when the script is ran. Same for hourly and hourlyAt as well as weekly and weeklyAt

import { hourly, daily, weekly } from "daily-at";

hourly(() => {
    console.log("Hello World!");
})

daily(() => {
    console.log("Hello World!");
})

weekly(() => {
    console.log("Hello World!");
})

every

run a function with a custom time period, eg. once every 6 hours

import { every } from "daily-at";

// 6 hours (in milliseconds)
every(1000 * 60 * 60 * 6, () => {
    console.log("Hello World!");
})
