Node Cron

The node-cron module is tiny task scheduler in pure JavaScrip for node.js based on GNU crontab. Besides, node-cron wont stop your node.js application if your task throw an exception, rather than it going to try run your task again in the next time occurrence.

Getting Started

Install node-cron using npm:

$ npm install --save node-cron

Import node-cron and schedule a task:

var cron = require('node-cron');

cron.schedule('* * * * *', function(){
  console.log('running a task in every minute');
});
