Schedule Jobs within Nuxt 3.

This is a Server-Side task scheduler for Nuxt which depends on node-cron.

• ✨  Release Notes

Features

• 👩🏼‍🌾 human readable
• 😌 easy to use

Quick Setup

1. Add nuxt-scheduler dependency to your project

# Using pnpm
pnpm add -D nuxt-scheduler

# Using yarn
yarn add --dev nuxt-scheduler

# Using npm
npm install --save-dev nuxt-scheduler

2. Add nuxt-scheduler to the modules section of nuxt.config.ts

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    'nuxt-scheduler'
  ]
})

That's it! You can now use Nuxt Scheduler in your Nuxt app ✨

Example Usage

Create as many scheduler you like as plugins.

~/server/plugins/smileScheduler.ts

import { useScheduler } from "#scheduler"
import say from "~~/server/app/services/say";

export default defineNitroPlugin(() => {
  startScheduler()
})

function startScheduler() {
  const scheduler = useScheduler();

  scheduler.run(() => {
    say("cool beans! I run once a second! 😀");
  }).everySecond();

  // create as many tasks as you want here
}

Each scheduler can have multiple tasks

~/server/plugins/rocketScheduler.ts

import { useScheduler } from "#scheduler"
import say from "~~/server/app/services/say";


export default defineNitroPlugin(() => {
  startScheduler()
})

function startScheduler() {
  const scheduler = useScheduler();

  scheduler.run(() => {
    say("I run every 3 seconds, 🚀🚀🚀");
  }).everySeconds(3);

  scheduler.run(() => {
    say("I run every 5 seconds, 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀");
  }).everySeconds(5);

  // create as many tasks as you want here
}

use Human Readable intervals

 everySecond
 everySeconds
 everyMinute
 everyMinutes
 everyTwoMinutes
 everyThreeMinutes
 everyFourMinutes
 everyFiveMinutes
 everyTenMinutes
 everyFifteenMinutes
 everyThirtyMinutes
 hourly
 hourlyAt
 everyOddHour
 everyHours
 everyTwoHours
 everyThreeHours
 everyFourHours
 everySixHours
 daily
 dailyAt
 everyDays
 weekly
 quarterly
 yearly

or set using cron method

cron() method accepts 'optional' string parameter called timezone where you have to pass a valid string values eg. Asia/Shanghai, Asia/Kolkata, America/Sao_Paulo refer IANA time zone database for same.

import { useScheduler } from "#scheduler"
import say from "~~/server/app/services/say";

export default defineNitroPlugin(() => {
  startScheduler()
})

function startScheduler() {
  const scheduler = useScheduler();

  scheduler.run(() => {
    say("I run once a second! 🚀");
  }).cron('* * * * *');
  
  scheduler.run(() => {
    say("Running a job at 01:00 PM at America/Sao_Paulo timezone 🌍");
  }).cron('0 13 * * *', 'America/Sao_Paulo');

  // create as many tasks as you want here
}

building Nuxt App with nuxt-scheduler

to prevent the scheduler from running during the build, you can do the following

update the build command to add a new environment variable

"scripts": {
    "build": "APP_ENV=build nuxt build",
}

then in your scheduler plugin, you can check for the environment variable

import { useScheduler } from "#scheduler"

export default defineNitroPlugin(() => {
//early return if build context
if (process.env.APP_ENV === 'build') {
  	console.log('[server/plugins/scheduler.ts] Skipping scheduler, in build context');
  	return;
  }
startScheduler()
})

function startScheduler() {

const scheduler = useScheduler();

scheduler.run(() => {
  console.log("cool beans! I run once a second! 😀");
}).everySecond();

// create as many tasks as you want here
}
