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

description required string

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;
