// Create a schedule that runs every 3 hours
schedule('send-reminder').every('3 hours', async (ctx) => {
  // do some processing

Examples

Create a Schedule to run every 3 minutes

import { schedule } from '@nitric/sdk';

// Create a schedule that runs every 3 minutes
schedule('send-reminder').every('3 minutes', async (ctx) => {
  // code which sends a reminder
});

Create a Schedule with multiple middleware/handlers

import { schedule } from '@nitric/sdk';

// Create a middleware to handle report generation
async function generateReport(ctx: faas.EventContext): Promise<void> {
  // code which generates a report
}

// Create a middleware to handle notifications
async function sendNotification(ctx: faas.EventContext): Promise<void> {
  // code which sends a notification
}

// Create a schedule that runs every 7 days
schedule('release').every('7 days', generateReport, sendNotification);
