The node-cron module is tiny task scheduler in pure JavaScript for node.js based onGNU crontab. This module allows you to schedule task in node.js using full crontab syntax.

Install node-cron using npm:

npm install --save node-cron

Import node-cron and schedule a task:

• commonjs

constcron=require('node-cron');cron.schedule('* * * * *',()=>{console.log('running a task every minute');});

• es6 (module)

importcronfrom'node-cron';cron.schedule('* * * * *',()=>{console.log('running a task every minute');});
