How we can schedule a post request in node.js,so that the data get printed on website in every 24 hours. Or any given schedule time,the data should be printed.
You can use node-cron. Firstly you need to run npm i node-cron to install.
To register a task all you have to do is:
const cron = require(‘node-cron’);
const printData = () => { console.log(“Hello dear”) };
// schedule takes two arguments, cron time and the task to call when we reach that time. I used a random time ad task here so you can change it.
cron.schedule(’10 20 23 9 1′
printData())
You can use the example below to incorporate it in your app:
const allSubscriptions = {}
const registerTasks = (subscription) => { const endpoint = subscription.endpoint;
// Calculate time according to your location, the time below is an example.
const morningTask = cron.schedule(‘30 23 * * *‘, () => { sendNotification(subscription, JSON.stringify({ timeOfDay: ‘morning‘ })); });
const afternoonTask = cron.schedule(‘30 6 * * *‘, () => { sendNotification(subscription, JSON.stringify({ timeOfDay: ‘afternoon‘ })); });
const nightTask = cron.schedule(‘15 14 * * *‘, () => { sendNotification(subscription, JSON.stringify({ timeOfDay: ‘evening‘ })); }); allSubscriptions[endpoint] = [morningTask, afternoonTask, nightTask]; };
