nodejs execute every minute

  1. Import the necessary modules:
const cron = require('node-cron');
  1. Define the task to be executed:
const task = cron.schedule(' *', () => {
  // code to execute every minute
});
  1. Set the schedule for the task:
task.start();
  1. The task will now execute every minute as per the schedule.

Explanation:

  1. The first step is to import the necessary module, node-cron, which provides a simple and flexible way to schedule tasks in Node.js.

  2. Next, we define the task to be executed using the cron.schedule() method. In this example, we use the cron expression *, which represents every minute. You can modify this expression to suit your specific scheduling needs.

  3. After defining the task, we start the schedule using the start() method. This ensures that the task will be executed at the specified interval.

  4. Once the schedule is set and the task is running, it will execute the provided code block every minute, as per the specified cron expression.

Note: Make sure to install the node-cron module before running the code. You can install it using the npm package manager with the following command: npm install node-cron.
