Usage

dj_tasks provides a parent Task that all declared tasks should inherit from. It includes two required attributes name and frequency, where name is how it will be displayed in the standard output of the management command and frequency is how often it should run in seconds. Finally, it must override the run method which will provide the task functionality.

# your_app/tasks.py
from dj_tasks.tasks import Task

class MyTask(Task):

    name = "My Custom Task"
    frequency = 20

    def run(self):
        print(f"{self.name} that runs every {self.frequency} seconds.")

In your project settings.py declare your new task.

DJTASKS_TASKS = [
    "your_app.tasks.MyTask",
]

At the command line:

$ python manage.py run_tasks
