Crontab Expression Parser and Driver

Crates.io Documentation MSRV 1.75 Apache 2.0 licensed Build Status

Overview

A library to parse and drive the crontab expression.

Documentation

Example

Here is a quick example that shows how to parse a cron expression and drive it with a timestamp:

use std::str::FromStr;
use cronexpr::MakeTimestamp;

fn main() {
    let crontab = cronexpr::parse_crontab("2 4 * * * Asia/Shanghai").unwrap();

    // case 0. match timestamp
    assert!(crontab.matches("2024-09-24T04:02:00+08:00").unwrap());
    assert!(!crontab.matches("2024-09-24T04:01:00+08:00").unwrap());

    // case 1. find next timestamp with timezone
    assert_eq!(
        crontab
            .find_next("2024-09-24T10:06:52+08:00")
            .unwrap()
            .to_string(),
        "2024-09-25T04:02:00+08:00[Asia/Shanghai]"
    );

    // case 2. iter over next timestamps without upper bound
    let iter = crontab.iter_after("2024-09-24T10:06:52+08:00").unwrap();
    assert_eq!(
        iter
            .take(5)
            .map(|ts| ts.map(|ts| ts.to_string()))
            .collect::<Result<Vec<_>, cronexpr::Error>>()
            .unwrap(),
        vec![
            "2024-09-25T04:02:00+08:00[Asia/Shanghai]",
            "2024-09-26T04:02:00+08:00[Asia/Shanghai]",
            "2024-09-27T04:02:00+08:00[Asia/Shanghai]",
            "2024-09-28T04:02:00+08:00[Asia/Shanghai]",
            "2024-09-29T04:02:00+08:00[Asia/Shanghai]",
        ]
    );

    // case 3. iter over next timestamps with upper bound
    let iter = crontab.iter_after("2024-09-24T10:06:52+08:00").unwrap();
    let end = MakeTimestamp::from_str("2024-10-01T00:00:00+08:00").unwrap();
    assert_eq!(
        iter
            .take_while(|ts| ts.as_ref().map(|ts| ts.timestamp() < end.0).unwrap_or(true))
            .map(|ts| ts.map(|ts| ts.to_string()))
            .collect::<Result<Vec<_>, cronexpr::Error>>()
            .unwrap(),
        vec![
            "2024-09-25T04:02:00+08:00[Asia/Shanghai]",
            "2024-09-26T04:02:00+08:00[Asia/Shanghai]",
            "2024-09-27T04:02:00+08:00[Asia/Shanghai]",
            "2024-09-28T04:02:00+08:00[Asia/Shanghai]",
            "2024-09-29T04:02:00+08:00[Asia/Shanghai]",
            "2024-09-30T04:02:00+08:00[Asia/Shanghai]",
        ]
    );
}

Usage

cronexpr is on crates.io and can be used by adding cronexpr to your dependencies in your project's Cargo.toml. Or more simply, just run cargo add cronexpr.

Dependencies

cronexpr depends on:

  • thiserror to define our Error type.
  • jiff for all the datetime things. This is almost internal, except:
    • the timestamp returned is a jiff::Zoned, although you can treat it as something defined by cronexpr.
    • the input type MakeTimestamp is a wrapper of jiff::Timestamp, but it's defined by cronexpr and enables you create a Timestamp from a string, milliseconds, nanoseconds, and more, without directly depend on jiff::Timestamp (you can still depend on it if you'd like).
  • winnow for parsing the crontab expression. This is fully internal: you don't need to understand it.

Minimum Rust version policy

This crate is built against the latest stable release, and its minimum supported rustc version is 1.75.0.

The policy is that the minimum Rust version required to use this crate can be increased in minor version updates. For example, if cronexpr 1.0 requires Rust 1.20.0, then cronexpr 1.0.z for all values of z will also require Rust 1.20.0 or newer. However, cronexpr 1.y for y > 0 may require a newer minimum version of Rust.
