# krontab
[ ![Download](https://api.bintray.com/packages/insanusmokrassar/InsanusMokrassar/krontab/images/download.svg) ](https://bintray.com/insanusmokrassar/InsanusMokrassar/krontab/_latestVersion)
This library was created to simplify work with from time to time things.
## How to use
There are several ways to configure and use this library:
* From some string
* From builder
Anyway, to start some action from time to time you will need to use one of extensions/functions:
```kotlin
val kronScheduler = /* creating of KronScheduler instance */;
kronScheuler.doWhile {
// some action
true // true - repeat on next time
}
```
### Config from string
Developers can use more simple way to configure repeat times is string. String configuring
like a `crontab`, but with a little bit different meanings:
```
/-------- Seconds
| /------ Minutes
| | /---- Hours
| | | /-- Days of months
| | | | / Months
| | | | |
* * * * *
```
It is different with original `crontab` syntax for the reason, that expected that in practice developers
will use seconds and minutes with more probability than months (for example). In fact, developers will use something
like:
```kotlin
doWhile("/5 * * * *") {
println("Called")
true // true - repeat on next time
}
```
Or more version:
```kotlin
doInfinity("/5 * * * *") {
println("Called")
}
```
Both of examples will print `Called` message every five seconds.
### Config via builder
Also this library currently supports DSL for creating the same goals:
```kotlin
val kronScheduler = buildSchedule {
seconds {
from (0) every 5
}
}
kronScheduler.doWhile {
println("Called")
true // true - repeat on next time
}
```
Or
```kotlin
val kronScheduler = buildSchedule {
seconds {
0 every 5
}
}
kronScheduler.doWhile {
println("Called")
true // true - repeat on next time
}
```
Or
```kotlin
val kronScheduler = buildSchedule {
seconds {
0 every 5
}
}
kronScheduler.doInfinity {
println("Called")
}
```
All of these examples will do the same things: print `Called` message every five seconds.
