A job scheduler is a system that is used to schedule jobs to run at an interval. It is used to schedule jobs that are not time critical and can be run at a later time.
The scheduler is not ware of any time or time location. It is based on a time interval. The time interval is the time between the current time and the time the job is scheduled to run. All time presented here are in milliseconds.
When a job is finished the job will automatically be removed from the scheduler. If you want to run the job again you need to create a new job.
The scheduler reschedules the job to run at the next interval, if it is repeated or runs forever. If a job is scheduled in the past it will run immediately.
This scheduler is inspired by Go-Cron (https://github.com/jasonlvhit/gocron). It is a great cron-scheduler but I wanted to have something more lean and no need for time and location support. Something which can be used to drive a world simulation.
go get github.com/apigear-io/schedulers := scheduler.New(time.Millisecond * 10)
s.CreateJob().Every(time.Millisecond * 100).Do(func(t, dt int64) {
fmt.Printf("tick: %d, delta-tick: %d\n", t, dt)
})
s.Run()
