##  Overview

Pulse is a new fork of the [Agenda](https://github.com/agenda/agenda) project, created as the original project is no longer actively maintained. Positioned as a vital solution in the Node.js ecosystem for job scheduling, the hiatus of Agenda prompted the creation of Pulse. Utilizing MongoDB, Pulse introduces advanced functionalities, improved scalability, and contemporary features to address today’s complex scheduling challenges.

##  Getting Started
| Take a look at our [Quick Start](https://docs-pulse.pulsecron.com/quick-start) guide.

####  Installation

```console
 $ npm install --save @pulsecron/pulse
```

####  Example

```typescript
import Pulse from '@pulsecron/pulse';

const mongoConnectionString = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/pulse';

const pulse = new Pulse({
  db: { address: mongoConnectionString },
  defaultConcurrency: 4,
  maxConcurrency: 4,
  processEvery: '10 seconds',
  resumeOnRestart: true,
});

// Or override the default collection name:
// const pulse = new Pulse({db: {address: mongoConnectionString, collection: 'jobCollectionName'}});

// or pass additional connection options:
// const pulse = new Pulse({db: {address: mongoConnectionString, collection: 'jobCollectionName', options: {ssl: true}}});

// or pass in an existing mongodb-native MongoClient instance
// const pulse = new Pulse({mongo: myMongoClient});

/**
 * Example of defining a job
 */
pulse.define('delete old users', async (job) => {
  console.log('Deleting old users...');
  return;
});

/**
 * Example of repeating a job
 */
(async function () {
  // IIFE to give access to async/await
  await pulse.start();

await pulse.every('3 minutes', 'delete old users');

// Alternatively, you could also do:
  await pulse.every('*/3 * * * *', 'delete old users');
})();

/**
 * Example of defining a job with options
 */
pulse.define(
  'send email report',
  async (job) => {
    const { to } = job.attrs.data;

console.log(`Sending email report to ${to}`);
  },
  { lockLifetime: 5 * 1000, priority: 'high', concurrency: 10 }
);

/**
 * Example of scheduling a job
 */
(async function () {
  await pulse.start();
  await pulse.schedule('in 20 minutes', 'send email report', { to: 'admin@example.com' });
})();

/**
 * Example of repeating a job
 */
(async function () {
  const weeklyReport = pulse.create('send email report', { to: 'example@example.com' });
  await pulse.start();
  await weeklyReport.repeatEvery('1 week').save();
})();

/**
 * Check job start and completion/failure
 */
pulse.on('start', (job) => {
 console.log(time(), `Job <${job.attrs.name}> starting`);
});
pulse.on('success', (job) => {
 console.log(time(), `Job <${job.attrs.name}> succeeded`);
});
pulse.on('fail', (error, job) => {
 console.log(time(), `Job <${job.attrs.name}> failed:`, error);
});

function time() {
  return new Date().toTimeString().split(' ')[0];
}

```
