oscscheduler works by reading a schedule file written in json. This file specifies a start time and end time for the show which will be run each day.
The show itself is a series of osc actions that will be run in a loop until then end time.
'Usage'
var ShowScheduler = require("oscscheduler");
//Load Show File
var show = require("./show.json"); // The Show File to Load - More details below
//set up show
var thisSchedule = new ShowScheduler(show);
thisSchedule.on("beforeStart", function(){
//If there are things that need be done before the show starts
})
thisSchedule.on("afterEnd", function(){
})
var currentTime = new Date();
currentTime.setHours(19, 59, 55, 0)
//Schedule the show to start - Optionally pass the current time for testing purposes
//This line schedules the show to start
thisSchedule.activate(currentTime);`Format for Show File' - Comments are Not Allowed in Real JSON File show.json
