Description

Currently, it takes a lot of effort to create a scheduled task.

• define schedule provider
• create a message class
• create a messenger handler.

These steps look too redundant, if you need to create a couple of simple tasks such as cleaning archive dir, check users, etc.

Proposal

To simplify using of the scheduled tasks, proposed add AsPeriodicTask and AsCronTask attributes. They can be added as class or method attributes to any symfony service or console command.

Additionally, it is need to allow the merging of scheduled tasks obtained from schedule providers with the same name.

#[AsPeriodicTask('1 day')]

#[AsCronTask('35,45,55 */3 * * *', jitter: 60, arguments: ['level' => '500mb'])]

#[AsCronTask('@random 3600', schedule: 'default')]

Example

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Service;

#[AsCronTask('*/5 * * * *')]
class SyncAppWorker
{
    public function __invoke(array $arguments = []): void
    {
        // code
    }
}
