Wasmcloud Ticker Provider

This provider is a simple ticker/cron job caller for wasmCloud. It calls a ticker.Task function which is exposed by the component. It is built upon the go-co-op/gocron/v2 scheduler.

Provider Config

This provider can be used in few ways: a simple interval ticker, a start-up job or a cron job. Here are some example configurations:

Interval

target_config:
  - name: ticker-config
    properties:
      type: interval        # simple ticker using the `interval` type
      period: 10s           # time period for ticker e.g. 10s, 5m, 1h, etc...

Cron

target_config:
  - name: cron-config
    properties:
      type: cron            # cron job using the `cron` type
      cron: "0 * * * *"     # cron configuration e.g. once every hour (every 0th minute)

Or

target_config:
  - name: cron-config
    properties:
      type: cron            # cron job using the `cron` type
      seconds: "true"       # the `seconds` bool adds an extra column at the start for seconds
      cron: "0 * * * * *"     # cron configuration e.g. once every minute (every 0th second)

Start Up

target_config:
  - name: startup-config
    properties:
      type: startup       # startup job using the `startup` type
      delay: 30s          # delay config, the task will be executed 30s after the link is created

Wit Package

In order to use the wit package jamesstocktonj1:ticker you must add the namespace to your wasm-pkg config file. To do this run the wkg config --edit command and add the following:

[namespace_registries]
jamesstocktonj1 = "ghcr.io"

You should be able to test whether this works by running the following command:

wkg get jamesstocktonj1:ticker

You may also need to set the WASH_PACKAGE_CONFIG_FILE environment variable with the path to this config file in order for wash to be able to pull the right dependencies. On Linux the variable should be:

export WASH_PACKAGE_CONFIG_FILE=$HOME/.config/wasm-pkg/config.toml

Example

To use this interface within your component you can add the following to your wit world file:

include jamesstocktonj1:ticker/exports@0.1.0;

This will export the jamesstocktonj1:ticker/ticker interface which the ticker-provider links to. Simply implement this interface and the ticker-provider will call the ticker.Task function on the time interval you have specified. A full component example found in the example folder.
