Introduction to OverseerJS

OverseerJS is a robust JavaScript library designed to facilitate task scheduling and management in web applications. It provides a wide range of APIs that can be leveraged to create efficient and optimized web applications. In this article, we will dive deep into dozens of useful API explanations with code snippets. We will also build an example application using these APIs to demonstrate their usage.

API Examples

1. Creating a Task

To create a new task, you can use the createTask method:

  const task = overseer.createTask('taskName', {
    interval: 1000,
    action: () => {
      console.log('Task is running...');
    }
  });

2. Starting a Task

Once a task is created, you can start it using the startTask method:

  overseer.startTask('taskName');

3. Stopping a Task

To stop a running task, utilize the stopTask method:

  overseer.stopTask('taskName');

4. Removing a Task

If you need to remove a task altogether, the removeTask method is at your service:

  overseer.removeTask('taskName');

5. Pausing and Resuming a Task

Sometimes a task needs to be paused and resumed later. Here is how you can achieve this:

  overseer.pauseTask('taskName');
  overseer.resumeTask('taskName');

6. Listing All Tasks

You can list all the created tasks using the listTasks method:

  const tasks = overseer.listTasks();
  console.log(tasks);

7. Modifying Task Parameters

Modify an existing task’s parameters using the updateTask method:

  overseer.updateTask('taskName', {
    interval: 2000
  });

Example Application

Let’s create an example application that utilizes some of these APIs to demonstrate their usage.

This code snippet creates a task that logs the current time every second, pauses it after 5 seconds, resumes it after 10 seconds, and finally removes it after 15 seconds.

OverseerJS is highly flexible and can be adapted to various task scheduling needs in a web application. It enhances productivity and ensures that tasks are managed efficiently.
