dumptruckman/taskmin

A simple and lightweight way to execute one-off tasks at a later time.

Taskmin offers a simple way to schedule tasks that run at some later time. Currently it only supports one-off tasks but may support recurring tasks in the future.

Usage

Here is a simple program demonstrating basic usage.

import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        // Create the TaskManager. You probably just need one of these.
        TaskManager taskManager = TaskManager.createBasicTaskManager();
        
        // Add a simple task that prints out "Hello world!" after 1 second.
        taskManager.addTask(Task.builder(() -> System.out.println("Hello world!"))
                .executeAt(LocalDateTime.now().plus(1, ChronoUnit.SECONDS)));
        
        //  Wait 2 seconds before exiting (just to make sure you see the message!)
        Thread.sleep(2000);
        System.out.println("Done!");
    }
}

And if you want a repeating task?

// Adding a task that says "Hello!" every second.
taskManager.addTask(Task.builder(() -> System.out.println("Hello!"))
        .repeatEvery(Duration.of(1, ChronoUnit.SECONDS)) // The repeat period
        .skipFirstExecution()); // It won't execute until after the first period

Building

Simply run gradlew build to build the library.
