import io.nitric.Nitric;
import io.nitric.faas.v0.Frequency;
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// create a schedule that runs every 3 hours
Nitric.INSTANCE.schedule("send-reminders").every(3, Frequency.Hours, (ctx) -> {
// add code to run here
return ctx;
});
Nitric.run();
}
}

Examples

Create a Schedule to run every 3 minutes

import io.nitric.Nitric;
import io.nitric.faas.v0.Frequency;
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// create a schedule that runs every 3 minutes
Nitric.INSTANCE.schedule("send-reminders").every(3, Frequency.Minutes, (ctx) -> {
// add code to run here
return ctx;
});
Nitric.run();
}
}

Create a Schedule with multiple middleware/handlers

import io.nitric.Nitric;
import io.nitric.faas.v0.EventContext;
import io.nitric.faas.v0.Frequency;
import io.nitric.faas.v0.Handler;
import java.util.List;
public class Application {
// Create a middleware to handle report generation
static EventContext generateReport(EventContext ctx, Handler<EventContext> next) {
// code which generates a report
return next.invoke(ctx);
}
// Create a middleware to handle notifications
static EventContext sendNotification(EventContext ctx, Handler<EventContext> next) {
// code which sends a notification
return next.invoke(ctx);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Nitric.INSTANCE.schedule("send-reminders").every(7, Frequency.Days, List.of(Test::generateReport, Test::sendNotification));
Nitric.INSTANCE.run();
}
}
