Unable to schedule from a specific time and following a specific calendar

[gigittygit]

The library supports scheduling until a certain time but not from time. Consequently, it is difficult to implement logic such as every hour on Monday-Friday from 11:30 to 12:30.

We created a custom function that generates a list of options, in this case

• every().monday.at("11:30")
• every().monday.at("12:30")
• every().tuesday.at("12:30")
• ..,
• every().friday.at("12:30")

This implies 15 calls, as opposed to only 5 calls per each day, or just 1 call per calendar that sets Monday to Friday eligible.

With a more frequent schedule, this becomes even more prohibitive. In such a case, we just run the job at every().minute and exit early when outside of schedule from job function, i.e. manage schedule externally.

Any enhancements planned? Any idea how to enhance internally the library?

• every().monday.from('11:30').to('12:30')
• every().minute.on(calendar).from('11:30').to('12:30')

@SijmenHuizenga could you please assess feasibility and complexity arising from scheduling

• from specific time (e.g. every minute from 11:00 to 11:30),
• on specific week days (e.g. monday to friday),
• following specific calendar (e.g. list of datetime objects)?

I agree with @dbader sentiment to keep this library lightweight and not turn it into next large unmaintainable project (#219). However, I believe the above could considerably increase expressiveness at little cost.

So, the disregard and silence of @SijmenHuizenga for several months, meaning this suggested improvement won't be considered?
Many individuals including myself in high demand for this feature, believe that it could bring significant enhancements with minimal cost.
