fs2-cron

fs2-cron is a microlibrary that provides FS2 streams based on Cron4s cron expressions or Calev calendar events.

It is provided for Scala 2.12, 2.13 and fs2-cron-calev also for Scala 3.

Examples

import cats.effect.IO
import cats.effect.unsafe.implicits.global
import fs2.Stream
import java.time.LocalTime

val printTime = Stream.eval(IO(println(LocalTime.now)))

Using Cron4s library

Requires the fs2-cron-cron4s module:

import cron4s.Cron
import eu.timepit.fs2cron.cron4s.Cron4sScheduler

val cronScheduler = Cron4sScheduler.systemDefault[IO]
// cronScheduler: eu.timepit.fs2cron.Scheduler[IO, cron4s.expr.CronExpr] = eu.timepit.fs2cron.cron4s.Cron4sScheduler$$anon$1@6599c499

val evenSeconds = Cron.unsafeParse("*/2 * * ? * *")
// evenSeconds: cron4s.package.CronExpr = CronExpr(
//   seconds = */2,
//   minutes = *,
//   hours = *,
//   daysOfMonth = ?,
//   months = *,
//   daysOfWeek = *
// )

val scheduled = cronScheduler.awakeEvery(evenSeconds) >> printTime
// scheduled: Stream[[x]IO[x], Unit] = Stream(..)

scheduled.take(3).compile.drain.unsafeRunSync()
// 17:19:40.028505387
// 17:19:42.000256751
// 17:19:44.000734180

val everyFiveSeconds = Cron.unsafeParse("*/5 * * ? * *")
// everyFiveSeconds: cron4s.package.CronExpr = CronExpr(
//   seconds = */5,
//   minutes = *,
//   hours = *,
//   daysOfMonth = ?,
//   months = *,
//   daysOfWeek = *
// )

val scheduledTasks = cronScheduler.schedule(List(
  evenSeconds      -> Stream.eval(IO(println(LocalTime.now.toString + " task 1"))),
  everyFiveSeconds -> Stream.eval(IO(println(LocalTime.now.toString + " task 2")))
))
// scheduledTasks: Stream[IO, Unit] = Stream(..)

scheduledTasks.take(9).compile.drain.unsafeRunSync()
// 17:19:45.002013244 task 2
// 17:19:46.001305699 task 1
// 17:19:48.000946715 task 1
// 17:19:50.001176046 task 1
// 17:19:50.001195452 task 2
// 17:19:52.000660885 task 1
// 17:19:54.000997899 task 1
// 17:19:55.000611742 task 2
// 17:19:56.000755443 task 1

Cancelling the scheduled task

Using Stream#interruptWhen(haltWhenTrue)

import cats.effect._
import cron4s.Cron
import eu.timepit.fs2cron.cron4s.Cron4sScheduler
import fs2.Stream
import fs2.concurrent.SignallingRef

import java.time.LocalTime
import scala.concurrent.duration._

object TestApp extends IOApp.Simple {
  val printTime = Stream.eval(IO(println(LocalTime.now)))

  override def run: IO[Unit] = {
    val cronScheduler = Cron4sScheduler.systemDefault[IO]
    val evenSeconds = Cron.unsafeParse("*/2 * * ? * *")
    val scheduled = cronScheduler.awakeEvery(evenSeconds) >> printTime
    val cancel = SignallingRef[IO, Boolean](false)

    for {
      c <- cancel
      s <- scheduled.interruptWhen(c).repeat.compile.drain.start
      //prints about 5 times before stop
      _ <- Temporal[IO].sleep(10.seconds) >> c.set(true)
    } yield s
  }
}

Using Calev library

Requires the fs2-cron-calev module:

import com.github.eikek.calev.CalEvent
import eu.timepit.fs2cron.calev.CalevScheduler

val calevScheduler = CalevScheduler.systemDefault[IO]
// calevScheduler: eu.timepit.fs2cron.Scheduler[IO, CalEvent] = eu.timepit.fs2cron.calev.CalevScheduler$$anon$1@4eff8f40
val oddSeconds = CalEvent.unsafe("*-*-* *:*:1/2")
// oddSeconds: CalEvent = CalEvent(
//   weekday = All,
//   date = DateEvent(year = All, month = All, day = All),
//   time = TimeEvent(
//     hour = All,
//     minute = All,
//     seconds = List(values = Vector(Single(value = 1, rep = Some(value = 2))))
//   ),
//   zone = None
// )

val calevScheduled = calevScheduler.awakeEvery(oddSeconds) >> printTime
// calevScheduled: Stream[[x]IO[x], Unit] = Stream(..)
calevScheduled.take(3).compile.drain.unsafeRunSync()
// 17:19:57.005729413
// 17:19:59.000573819
// 17:20:01.000620887

val everyFourSeconds = CalEvent.unsafe("*-*-* *:*:0/4")
// everyFourSeconds: CalEvent = CalEvent(
//   weekday = All,
//   date = DateEvent(year = All, month = All, day = All),
//   time = TimeEvent(
//     hour = All,
//     minute = All,
//     seconds = List(values = Vector(Single(value = 0, rep = Some(value = 4))))
//   ),
//   zone = None
// )

val calevScheduledTasks = calevScheduler.schedule(List(
  oddSeconds      -> Stream.eval(IO(println(LocalTime.now.toString + " task 1"))),
  everyFourSeconds -> Stream.eval(IO(println(LocalTime.now.toString + " task 2")))
))
// calevScheduledTasks: Stream[IO, Unit] = Stream(..)

calevScheduledTasks.take(9).compile.drain.unsafeRunSync()
// 17:20:03.000515670 task 1
// 17:20:04.000356051 task 2
// 17:20:05.000244935 task 1
// 17:20:07.000543625 task 1
// 17:20:08.000939528 task 2
// 17:20:09.000995747 task 1
// 17:20:11.000393442 task 1
// 17:20:12.000277541 task 2
// 17:20:13.000742779 task 1

Using fs2-cron

The latest version of the library is available for Scala 2.12 and 2.13.

If you're using sbt, add the following to your build:

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "eu.timepit" %% "fs2-cron-cron4s" % "0.10.1" //and/or
  "eu.timepit" %% "fs2-cron-calev" % "0.10.1"
)
