[python] [java] [swift] Cron job classes

we have classes to schedule events. here is an example:


in the c'tor: set the initial cron activation(time stamp) and minute interval between activations.
when the time comes the trigger() method will return true.

this works cross platform and no external installations are needed.

this Cron cls activates every n minutes after initial time activation(startTime in the c'tor) for a limited amount of times:

Code: class Cron(TrGEV3):     # triggers true, limit times, after initial time, and every minutes interval     # counter resets at initial time, assuming trigger method was run     def __init__(self, startTime: str, minutes: int, limit:int):         self._playGround: PlayGround = PlayGround()         self._minutes:int = minutes  # minute interval between triggerings         self._timeStamp = startTime         self._initislTimeStamp = startTime         self._trgTime: TrgTime = TrgTime()         self._trgTime.setTime(startTime)         self._counter:int = 0         self._limit:int = limit         if limit < 1:             self._limit = 1     def setMinutes(self, minutes: int):         if minutes > -1:             self._minutes = minutes     def getLimit(self)->int:         return self._limit     def setLimit(self,limit:int):         if limit>0:             self._limit = limit     def getCounter(self)->int:         return self._counter     def setMinutes(self,minutes:int):         if minutes > -1:             self._minutes = minutes     # override     def trigger(self) -> bool:         # delete counter = 0 if you don't want the trigger to work the next day         if self._counter == self._limit:             self._trgTime.setTime(self._initislTimeStamp)             self._counter = 0             return False         if self._trgTime.alarm():             self._timeStamp = self._playGround.getFutureInXMin(self._minutes)             self._trgTime.setTime(self._timeStamp)             self._counter += 1             return True         return False     # override     def reset(self):         # manual trigger reset         self._counter = 0

there are more classes.
see classes with names starting with Trg.
TrgTime for example triggers on specific time stamps(once per 24 hours)

there is also the Playground class for identifying time ranges and getting time data (date, times, time calculations, days of week...)


https://github.com/yotamarker/public-livinGrimoire/blob/master/livingrimoire%20start%20here/LivinGrimoire%20python/python%20files/AXPython.py

Code: import time from LivinGrimoireCoreV2 import * from AXPython import * # Press Shift+F10 to execute it or replace it with your code. # Press Double Shift to search everywhere for classes, files, # tool windows, actions, and settings. # Press the green button in the gutter to run the script. if __name__ == '__main__':     t1:Cron = Cron(PlayGround().getCurrentTimeStamp(),2,3)     for i in range(0,20):         print(t1.trigger())

in case you've been living under a rock:
PlayGround().getCurrentTimeStamp()
simply returns a time stamp, like : "09:49"

notice the import code line in the beginning of the code:
from LivinGrimoireCoreV2 import *
from AXPython import *

these are 2 files you copypaste into the python project:
https://github.com/yotamarker/public-livinGrimoire/tree/master/livingrimoire%20start%20here/LivinGrimoire%20python/python%20files

in the code snippet if you put a break point at print(t1.trigger()) and debug like each 30 seconds, you will notice
it returns true only once per 2 minutes and up to 3 times.

 this is the way

and the swift Cron class:

Code: class Cron:TrGEV3{     // triggers true, limit times, after initial time, and every minutes interval     // counter resets at initial time, assuming trigger method was run     private var minutes:Int // minute interval between triggerings     private let pl:PlayGround = PlayGround()     private var trgTime:TrgTime     private var timeStamp:String = ""     private var initialTimeStamp:String = ""     private var limit:Int     private var counter:Int = 0     init(startTime:String, minutes:Int, limit:Int) {         self.minutes = minutes         self.timeStamp = startTime         self.initialTimeStamp = startTime         trgTime = TrgTime()         trgTime.setTime(v1: startTime)         self.limit = limit         if limit<0{             self.limit = 1         }     }     func getIimit()->Int{         return limit     }     func setLimit(lim:Int){         if lim > -1{             limit = lim         }     }     func getCounter()->Int{         return self.counter     }     func setMinutes(minutes:Int){         // set interval between trigger times         if minutes > -1{             self.minutes = minutes         }     }     override func trigger() -> Bool {         // delete counter = 0 if you don't want the trigger to work the next day         if counter == limit{             trgTime.setTime(v1: initialTimeStamp)             counter = 0             return false         }         if trgTime.trigger() {             timeStamp = pl.getFutureInXMin(extra_minutes: minutes)             trgTime.setTime(v1: timeStamp)             counter += 1             return true         }         return false     }     override func reset() {         // manual trigger reset         counter = 0     } }

import livingrimoire and auxiliary files and then it's possible to use Cron in the main swift file.
