Examples

Create a Schedule

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/nitrictech/go-sdk/faas"
  "github.com/nitrictech/go-sdk/nitric"
)

func main() {
  // every 15 minutes
  nitric.NewSchedule("check for updates").Cron("0/15 * * * *", func (ctx *faas.EventContext, _ faas.EventHandler) (*faas.EventContext, error) {
    fmt.Println("checking for updates")

    return ctx, nil
  })

  // at 1:00am on the 1st of every month
  nitric.NewSchedule("delete stale data").Cron("0 1 1 * *", func (ctx *faas.EventContext, _ faas.EventHandler) (*faas.EventContext, error) {
    fmt.Println("deleting stale data")

    return ctx, nil
  })

  nitric.Run()
}

Create a Schedule with multiple middleware/handlers

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/nitrictech/go-sdk/faas"
  "github.com/nitrictech/go-sdk/nitric"
)

func generateReport(ctx *faas.EventContext, next faas.EventHandler) (*faas.EventContext, error) {
  // generate report

  return next(ctx)
}

func sendNotification(ctx *faas.EventContext, next faas.EventHandler) (*faas.EventContext, error) {
  // send notification with the report

  return next(ctx)
}

func main() {
  nitric.NewSchedule("check for updates").Cron("0 1 1 * *", faas.ComposeEventMiddleware(generateReport, sendNotification))

  nitric.Run()
}
