Job.apex

Job.apex is a library that aims to easily create and manage Apex scheduled jobs.

Why Job.apex?

Job.apex is created to offer a readable and fluent API to create Apex scheduled jobs as an alternative to the normal cron expression way. Besides, Job.apex supports a repeating job to work around the limitation in Apex that scheduled jobs cannot run in an interval less than 1 hour. Also Job.apex has API to manage all the scheduled jobs.

Dependencies

Job.apex has a dependency on R.apex. Please include R.apex before getting started with Job.apex.

}

Job j = new Job('test', new CustomJob());
