mongo-scheduler-more

Persistent event scheduler using mongodb as storage

Provide the scheduler with some storage and timing info and it will emit events with the corresponding document at the right time

This module, extend the original mongo-sheduler and work with up to date dependencies plus possibilities to remove an event recorded in database. You can also use the same event name multiple times, as long as the id and / or after is different, otherwise it will update the document

npm install mongo-scheduler-more
