Sched: Scheduling library for alarms and timers
====================================
This provides boot code, a library and tools for alarms and timers.
Other apps can use this to provide alarm functionality.
App
---
The **Alarms & Timers** app allows you to add/modify any running alarms and timers.
Global Settings
---------------
- `Unlock at Buzz` - If `Yes` the alarm/timer will unlock the watch
- `Default Auto Snooze` - Default _Auto Snooze_ value for newly created alarms (_Alarms_ only)
- `Default Snooze` - Default _Snooze_ value for newly created alarms/timers
- `Default Repeat` - Default _Repeat_ value for newly created alarms (_Alarms_ only)
- `Buzz Count` - The number of buzzes before the watch goes silent
- `Buzz Interval` - The interval between one buzz and the next
- `Default Alarm/Timer Pattern` - Default vibration pattern for newly created alarms/timers
Internals / Library
-------------------
Alarms are stored in an array in `sched.json`, and take the form:
```
{
id : "mytimer", // optional ID for this alarm/timer, so apps can easily find *their* timers
appid : "myappid", // optional app ID for alarms that you set/use for your app
on : true, // is the alarm enabled?
t : 23400000, // Time of day since midnight in ms (if a timer, this is set automatically when timer starts)
dow : 0b1111111, // Binary encoding for days of the week to run alarm on
// SUN = 1
// MON = 2
// TUE = 4
// WED = 8
// THU = 16
// FRI = 32
// SAT = 64
date : "2022-04-04", // OPTIONAL date for the alarm, in YYYY-MM-DD format
// eg (new Date()).toISOString().substr(0,10)
msg : "Eat food", // message to display.
last : 0, // last day of the month we alarmed on - so we don't alarm twice in one day! (No change from 0 on timers)
rp : true, // repeat the alarm every day?
vibrate : "...", // OPTIONAL pattern of '.', '-' and ' ' to use for when buzzing out this alarm (defaults to '..' if not set)
hidden : false, // OPTIONAL if false, the widget should not show an icon for this alarm
as : false, // auto snooze
timer : 5*60*1000, // OPTIONAL - if set, this is a timer and it's the time in ms
js : "load('myapp.js')" // OPTIONAL - a JS command to execute when the alarm activates (*instead* of loading 'sched.js')
// when this code is run, you're responsible for setting alarm.on=false (or removing the alarm)
data : { ... } // OPTIONAL - your app can store custom data in here if needed (don't store a lot of data here)
}
```
The [`sched` library](https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps/blob/master/apps/sched/lib.js) contains
a few helpful functions for getting/setting alarms and timers, but is intentionally sparse so as not to
use too much RAM.
It can be used as follows:
```
// Get a new alarm with default values
let alarm = require("sched").newDefaultAlarm();
// Get a new timer with default values
let timer = require("sched").newDefaultTimer();
// Add/update an existing alarm
require("sched").setAlarm("mytimer", {
msg : "Wake up",
timer : 10 * 60 * 1000 // 10 minutes
});
// Ensure the widget and alarm timer updates to schedule the new alarm properly
require("sched").reload();
// Get the time to the next alarm for us
let timeToNext = require("sched").getTimeToAlarm(require("sched").getAlarm("mytimer"));
// timeToNext === undefined if no alarm or alarm disabled
// Delete an alarm
require("sched").setAlarm("mytimer", undefined);
// Reload after deleting
require("sched").reload();
// Or add an alarm that runs your own code - in this case
// loading the settings app. The alarm will not be removed/stopped
// automatically.
require("sched").setAlarm("customrunner", {
appid : "myapp",
js : "load('setting.app.js')",
timer : 1 * 60 * 1000 // 1 minute
});
// If you have been specifying `appid` you can also find any alarms that
// your app has created with the following:
require("sched").getAlarms().filter(a => a.appid == "myapp");
// Get the scheduler settings
let settings = require("sched").getSettings();
```
If your app requires alarms, you can specify that the alarms app needs to
be installed by adding `"dependencies": {"scheduler":"type"},` to your app's
metadata.
