Pilgaard.CronJobs

Easily schedule jobs to run at specific times, based on Cron expressions.

Installing

With the dotnet CLI:

dotnet add package Pilgaard.CronJobs

Or through Visual Studio or Rider.

Usage

Make CronJobs by implementing ICronJob:

public class CronJob : ICronJob { public Task ExecuteAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default) { // Execute job return Task.CompletedTask; } // This will execute once every minute public CronExpression CronSchedule => CronExpression.Parse("* * * * *"); }

Registration

Register all CronJobs with an IServiceCollection instance:

services.AddCronJobs(typeof(Program));

This will scan the assembly of Program for all classes that implement ICronJob, and add them to the container.

Each ICronJob found is then hosted in a CronBackgroundService.
