cronmatch checks if a date/time is matched by a cron expression.
The match
method accepts two parameters:
- a cron expression
- a date (or something that can be converted to a date)
const cronmatch = require('cronmatch')
// If the minute of the current time is divisible by 5, do something
if (cronmatch.match('*/5 * * * *', Date.now())) {
...
}
// Execute the following code only on a wednesday or on the 29 of February
if (cronmatch.match(['* * * * * 3 *','* * * 29 2 * *'], Date.now())) {
...
}
