Cron

Void Merge web services provide a method for periodic maintenance tasks.

First, we have to tell void merge how often to run this task.

ResponseCodeConfigOk type API Docs

import * as VM from "@voidmerge/voidmerge-code";

VM.onCodeConfig(async (_req) => {
  // Run cron every 10 seconds.
  return new VM.ResponseCodeConfigOk({ cronIntervalSecs: 10 });
});

Now we need to actually do something when a cron request is triggered.

import * as VM from "@voidmerge/voidmerge-code";

VM.onCron(async (_req) => {
  // Write a new unique entry every cron run.
  await VM.objPut({
    meta: VM.ObjMeta.fromParts({ appPath: Date.now().toString() }),
    data: new TextEncoder().encode(Date.now().toString()),
  });

  return new VM.ResponseCronOk();
}
