Jobs

Execute a specific job (task) when your application starts.

In Epic API, jobs allow developers to register various services, schedule tasks, or modify server instances on a global level of the application.

You can execute the following command to create a job:

# Execute the built-in Deno task
deno task create:module -t job -n createDefaultUser --template blank.ts

This command is going to generate the following code:

jobs/createDefaultUser.ts

import { Application } from "oak";

// If the sequence of the execution doesn't matter, you can also write your code here in this scope...

// But it is recommended to write the code in the following default function if the sequence does matter:
export default async (app: Application) => {
  // Write the logic to execute on app start (before server starts listening)...

  return async () => {
    // This code executes when the app receives "SIGINT" | "SIGTERM" | "SIGBREAK" signal.
    // Your optional cleanup code here...
  };
};

Use the following command to delete the job:

Warning! You cannot undo the following command, which can lead to a code deletion! Be careful when using this command during a real development.

# Execute the built-in Deno task
deno task delete:module -t job -n createDefaultUser.ts
