actix-jobs

A simple job scheduler for Actix.

Install

bash cargo add actix-jobs

Usage

Minimal example. For more information please refer to the Docs.

```rust use actixjobs::{Job, Scheduler, runforever};

struct MyJob; impl Job for MyJob { fn cron(&self) -> &str { "*/2 * * * * * *" // every two seconds }

fn run(&mut self) {
    println!("Sending an email to all our clients...");
}

}

[actix_web::main]

async fn main() { let mut scheduler = Scheduler::new(); scheduler.add(Box::new(MyJob));

run_forever(scheduler); // This will start the scheduler in a new thread.

// The rest of your program...

} ```

Information about the cron syntax.

Calling async functions inside run

This can be archieved via actix_rt::spawn as shown bellow.

```rust use actixjobs::{Job, Scheduler, runforever};

struct MyJob; impl Job for MyJob { fn cron(&self) -> &str { "*/2 * * * * * *" // every two seconds }

fn run(&mut self) {
    actix_rt::spawn(async move {
        actix_rt::time::sleep(Duration::from_millis(1000)).await;

        println!("Some more async stuff...");
    }
}

}

[actix_web::main]

async fn main() { let mut scheduler = Scheduler::new(); scheduler.add(Box::new(MyJob));

run_forever(scheduler); // This will start the scheduler in a new thread.

// The rest of your program...

} ```
