.NET - Schedule()

Creates a new Schedule to run a function on a defined frequency.

using Nitric.Sdk;
using Nitric.Sdk.Function;

Nitric.Schedule("send-reminder").Every(3, Frequency.Hours, context =>
{
    // do some processing
    return context;
});

Nitric.Run();

Parameters

Name

Required
Required
Type
string
Description
The unique name of this Schedule within the app. Subsequent calls to Schedule with the same name will return the same object.

Notes

Schedules do not require access permissions to be specified.
Currently, local execution and testing of schedules is not supported.
You can directly test the functions that respond to scheduled triggers by sending HTTP requests to those functions with the same payload as defined in your schedule.

Coming Soon

Local and manual testing of schedules is on our backlog to be completed soon.

Examples

Create a Schedule

using Nitric.Sdk;
using Nitric.Sdk.Function;

// Create a schedule that runs every 3 minutes
Nitric.Schedule("send-reminder").Every(3, Frequency.Minutes, context =>
{
    // do some processing
    return context;
});

// Create a schedule that runs every 3 hours
Nitric.Schedule("send-reminder").Every(3, Frequency.Hours, context =>
{
    // do some processing
    return context;
});

// Create a schedule that runs every 3 days
Nitric.Schedule("send-reminder").Every(3, Frequency.Days, context =>
{
    // do some processing
    return context;
});

Nitric.Run();

Create a Schedule using Cron expression

using Nitric.Sdk;
using Nitric.Sdk.Function;

// Create a schedule that runs every 3 minutes
Nitric.Schedule("send-reminder").Cron("3 * * * *", context =>
{
    // do some processing
    return context;
});

Nitric.Run();
