sablier-cron

A cron expression parser that's safe to use in the Solana runtime. Works with stable Rust v1.28.0.

use sablier_cron::Schedule;
use chrono::{DateTime, NaiveDateTime, Utc};
use std::str::FromStr;

fn main() {
  //               sec  min   hour   day of month   month   day of week   year
  let expression = "0   30   9,12,15     1,15       May-Aug  Mon,Wed,Fri  2018/2";
  let schedule = Schedule::from_str(expression).unwrap();
  let ts = 1234567890;
  let next_ts = schedule
      .after(&DateTime::<Utc>::from_utc(
          NaiveDateTime::from_timestamp(ts, 0),
          Utc,
      ))
      .take(1)
      .next()
    {
        Some(datetime) => Some(datetime.timestamp()),
        None => None,
    }
}

⚠️ Syntax

sec  min   hour   day of month   month   day of week   year

If you use tools such as crontab guru, note that the clockwork parser is a 7 columns string. You probably need to add the seconds (left most column) and can optionally add the year (right most column). e.g. the following 5 columns cron:

These are also supported:

"@yearly"
"@weekly"
"@daily"
"@hourly"
