ReactJS Cron

A React cron editor built with antd

Live demo and usage at https://xrutayisire.github.io/react-js-cron/

Features

• Zero dependencies except React and antd
• Supports all standard cron expressions
• Supports cron names for months and week days
• Supports cron shortcuts
• Supports "7" for Sunday
• Supports two-way sync binding with input
• Supports locale customization
• Supports multiple selection by double-clicking on an option
• And many more (disabled, read-only, 12-hour clock...)

Inspired by

• jqCron
• cron-converter

TypeScript

react-js-cron is written in TypeScript with complete definitions

Installation

Be sure that you have these dependencies on your project:

• react (>=17.0.0)
• antd (>=5.8.0)

1# NPM
2npm install react-js-cron
3
4# Yarn
5yarn add react-js-cron

Usage

1import { Cron } from 'react-js-cron'
2import 'react-js-cron/dist/styles.css'
3
4export function App() {
5  const [value, setValue] = useState('30 5 * * 1,6')
6
7  return <Cron value={value} setValue={setValue} />
8}

Don't forget to import styles manually:

1import 'react-js-cron/dist/styles.css'

Converter

If you want to use the converter that react-js-cron uses internally, you can import it into your project:

1import { converter } from 'react-js-cron'
2
3const cronString = converter.getCronStringFromValues(
4  'day', // period: 'year' | 'month' | 'week' | 'day' | 'hour' | 'minute' | 'reboot'
5  [], // months: number[] | undefined
6  [], // monthDays: number[] | undefined
7  [], // weekDays: number[] | undefined
8  [2], // hours: number[] | undefined
9  [1], // minutes: number[] | undefined
10  false // humanizeValue?: boolean
11)
12
13console.log('cron string:', converted)

cron string: '1 2 * * *'

The converter can also be helpful for parsing a string. Note that Sunday is represented as 0 in the output array but can be either 0 or 7 in the cron expression.

1import { converter } from 'react-js-cron'
2
3const [minutes, hours, daysOfMonth, months, daysOfWeek] =
4  converter.parseCronString('0 2,14 * * 1-5')
5
6console.log('parsed cron:', {
7  minutes,
8  hours,
9  daysOfMonth,
10  months,
11  daysOfWeek,
12})

parsed cron: {
  minutes: [0],
  hours: [2, 14],
  daysOfMonth: [],
  months: [],
  daysOfWeek: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
}
