Inside your tasks you can wait for a period of time before you want execution to continue.
|
|
|
|
```ts /trigger/long-task.ts
|
|
export const veryLongTask = task({
|
|
id: "very-long-task",
|
|
run: async (payload) => {
|
|
await wait.for({ seconds: 5 });
|
|
|
|
await wait.for({ minutes: 10 });
|
|
|
|
await wait.for({ hours: 1 });
|
|
|
|
await wait.for({ days: 1 });
|
|
|
|
await wait.for({ weeks: 1 });
|
|
|
|
await wait.for({ months: 1 });
|
|
|
|
await wait.for({ years: 1 });
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This allows you to write linear code without having to worry about the complexity of scheduling or managing cron jobs.
