A lightweight cron job scheduler for Node.js, designed to simplify the scheduling and management of periodic tasks.

• Easy scheduling of periodic tasks using cron syntax.
• Built-in logging and error handling, including email notifications for task failures.
• Optional web server for job management.
• Utilizes popular Node.js libraries for enhanced functionality.

To install the library, run:

npm install node-cron-scheduler

First, ensure you have created a .env file at the root of your project with the necessary configurations:

EMAIL_USER=your_email@gmail.com
EMAIL_PASSWORD=your_email_password
ALERT_EMAIL=alert_recipient_email@gmail.com

To schedule a job, import node-cron-scheduler and use the scheduleJob function:

const { scheduleJob } = require('node-cron-scheduler');

// Define a task to be executed
const myTask = async () => {
  console.log("Task executed");
};

// Schedule the task to run every minute
scheduleJob('My First Job', '* * * * *', myTask);
