NaturalCron Quartz Integration

⚠️ Experimental Alpha Release: This package is in an early stage of development and is subject to significant changes before version 1.0. Features and APIs may evolve, and stability is not guaranteed. NaturalCron.Quartz adds natural language scheduling support to Quartz.NET, allowing you to define job schedules using human-friendly expressions.

Features

  • Schedule jobs with phrases like every 5 seconds on friday, every week on monday at 9:00am.
  • Seamless integration with Quartz.NET triggers and jobs.
  • Familiar API: use TriggerBuilder.WithNaturalCronSchedule() just like Quartz's built-in schedules.
  • Alpha release: actively developed, API and features may change.

Installation

Add the NuGet package (replace with your actual package name and version):

dotnet add package NaturalCron.Quartz --version 0.0.1-alpha

Usage Example

using Quartz;
using NaturalCron.Quartz;

var trigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
    .WithIdentity("naturalTrigger")
    .WithNaturalCronSchedule("every 25 min on friday between 1:00pm and 03:00pm")
    .StartNow()
    .Build();

var triger2 = TriggerBuilder.Create()
    .WithIdentity("naturalTrigger", "group1")
    .WithNaturalCronSchedule(NaturalCronBuilder.Daily().AtTime(9, 30).Build())
    .Build();

Compatibility

  • Quartz.NET 3.x

Limitations

  • ICalendar support is not yet implemented. Calendar-based exclusions (holidays, etc.) are ignored.
