Is there any library for the queueing mechanism?
What’s used by the most - Cron? But a task or rather script executed by Cron won’t access to the context of an application. Meaning, a task will have be an independent unit. Whereas I want is a library to use inside a project such that it’ll have access to everything.
Anything similar to Sidekiq exist in Rust?
let mut scheduler = Scheduler::with_tz(chrono::Utc); scheduler.every(10.minutes()).plus(30.seconds()).run(|| println!("Periodic task")); scheduler.every(1.day()).at("3:20 pm").run(|| println!("Daily task")); scheduler.every(Tuesday).at("14:20:17").and_every(Thursday).at("15:00").run(|| println!("Biweekly task"));Damn, that a really ingenious and intuitive use of the builder pattern.
Kudos to the devs!
what library is it from?
The clokwerk crate.
@SuddenlyBlowGreen @nothingness I recently needed that, but fuzzy. Like I want a task ran anywhere between 1PM and 2PM. Can this be accomplished with the clockwerk crate?
You could schedule a task at 1 PM, then generate a random number between 0-60 inside that task, wait that many minutes, then launch the actual task.
