Description
-
Purpose To improve developer understanding of cron expressions in Deno by providing detailed documentation about each asterisk position and common patterns.
-
The current documentation shows basic cron usage but lacks detailed explanation of the cron syntax pattern
* * * * *
and what each position represents.
Suggested Improvements
- Add a clear breakdown of the cron syntax:
// Cron syntax: * * * * *
// │ │ │ │ │
// │ │ │ │ └── Day of week (0-6 or SUN-SAT)
// │ │ │ └──── Month (1-12)
// │ │ └────── Day of month (1-31)
// │ └──────── Hour (0-23)
// └────────── Minute (0-59)
Benefits
- Reduces confusion for developers new to cron syntax
- Provides quick reference for common scheduling patterns
- Improves developer productivity with clear examples
Additional Context
This enhancement aligns with Deno's goal of providing clear, comprehensive documentation for its features.
