📦 Installation

1. Run the following command from the Strapi app root directory.

[npm|yarn|bun] add @innovato/strapi-plugin-cron

2. Update or create ./config/plugins.ts file with the following config:

export default () => ({
  'strapi-plugin-cron': {
    enabled: true,
  },
})

3. Run the build command from the Strapi app root directory.

[npm|yarn|bun] run build

📌 Usage

If you want to maintain your cron job script files within the parent project and track them with a VCS, you should place them in a location relative to <your-strapi-project>/src/extensions/strapi-plugin-cron/.

The script file should be a .js module which exports an async function:

module.exports = async ({ strapi, cronJob }) => {
};

The function has access to strapi global variable and the relevant cronJob object.

The script snippet maintained via the Cron plugin dashboard has a direct top-level access to those parameters.
