A simple function scheduler.
This library provides a series of utilities for scheduling and executing tasks. Tasks can be executed at fixed interval or at fixed rates, and can be executed in the main executor thread or using a thread pool.
CoreExecutor: schedule and execute tasks on a single thread, ideal for short running tasks.ThreadPoolExecutor: schedule and execute tasks on a thread pool. Can be used for long
running tasks.Scheduling periodic task is very simple. Here is an example using a thread pool:
```rust // Starts a new thread-pool based executor with 4 threads let executor = ThreadPoolExecutor::new(4)?;
executor.schedulefixedrate(
Duration::fromsecs(2), // Wait 2 seconds before scheduling the first task
Duration::fromsecs(5), // and schedule every following task at 5 seconds intervals
|remote| {
// Code to be scheduled. The code will run on one of the threads in the thread pool.
// The remote handle can be used to schedule additional work on the event loop,
// if needed.
},
);
```
