Simple ahead-of-time function scheduler. Allows you to schedule the execution of an anonymous function for a point in the future.
To use the latest release, add the following to your deps.edn
(Clojure CLI)
overtone/at-at {:mvn/version "1.4.65"}
or add the following to your project.clj
(Leiningen)
[overtone/at-at "1.4.65"]
First pull in the lib:
(require '[overtone.at-at :as at])
at-at
uses ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor
s behind the scenes which use a thread pool to run the scheduled tasks. You therefore need create a pool before you can get going:
(def my-pool (at/mk-pool))
It is possible to pass in extra options :cpu-count
, :stop-delayed?
and :stop-periodic?
to further configure your pool. See mk-pool
's docstring for further info.
Next, schedule the function of your dreams. Here we schedule the function to execute in 1000 ms from now (i.e. 1 second):
(at/at (+ 1000 (at/now)) #(println "hello from the past!") my-pool)
You may also specify a description for the scheduled task with the optional :desc
key.
Another way of achieving the same result is to use after
which takes a delaty time in ms from now:
(at/after 1000 #(println "hello from the past!") my-pool)
You can also schedule functions to occur periodically. Here we schedule the function to execute every second:
(at/every 1000 #(println "I am cool!") my-pool)
This returns a scheduled-fn which may easily be stopped stop
:
(at/stop *1)
Or more forcefully killed with kill
.
It's also possible to start a periodic repeating fn with an initial delay:
(at/every 1000 #(println "I am cool!") my-pool :initial-delay 2000)
Finally, you can also schedule tasks for a fixed delay (vs a rate):
(at/interspaced 1000 #(println "I am cool!") my-pool)
This means that it will wait 1000 ms after the task is completed before starting the next one.
When necessary it's possible to stop and reset a given pool:
(at/stop-and-reset-pool! my-pool)
You may forcefully reset the pool using the :kill
strategy:
(at/stop-and-reset-pool! my-pool :strategy :kill)
at-at
keeps an eye on all the tasks you've scheduled. You can get a set of the current jobs (both scheduled and recurring) using scheduled-jobs
and you can pretty-print a list of these job using show-schedule
. The ids shown in the output of show-schedule
are also accepted in kill
and stop
, provided you also specify the associated pool. See the kill
and stop
docstrings for more information.
(def tp (at/mk-pool))
(at/after 10000 #(println "hello") tp :desc "Hello printer")
(at/every 5000 #(println "I am still alive!") tp :desc "Alive task")
(at/show-schedule tp)
;; [6][RECUR] created: Thu 12:03:35s, period: 5000ms, desc: "Alive task"
;; [5][SCHED] created: Thu 12:03:32s, starts at: Thu 12:03:42s, desc: "Hello printer"
