NextJs Scheduler

1. Install the required packages:

npm install node-schedule axios

1. Create a new file for the scheduler, for example, scheduler.js.

2. Import the necessary modules in the scheduler file:

const schedule = require('node-schedule');
const axios = require('axios');

1. Define the job function that will be executed by the scheduler:

const job = async () => {
  try {
    // Your logic here, for example, make an HTTP request
    const response = await axios.get('https://example.com/api/data');
    console.log('Data fetched:', response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching data:', error.message);
  }
};

1. Set up the schedule for the job using the node-schedule module. For example, to run the job every day at midnight:

const dailySchedule = '0 0  *'; // Cron expression for midnight

// Schedule the job
const scheduledJob = schedule.scheduleJob(dailySchedule, job);

// Log when the job is scheduled to run
console.log('Job scheduled at midnight every day.');

1. Run the scheduler in your Next.js application. You can do this by importing the scheduler file in your pages/api directory or any other appropriate location:

// Import the scheduler
const scheduler = require('../../scheduler.js');

Now, the job will run based on the schedule you defined, and you can customize the schedule and job logic according to your requirements.
