  • Now, we’ll set up an express server and see how we can use the node-cron package; you can find the project repository here. The first step is to create an express server. To do this, we’ll create an "express-cron" folder and initialize a node application with this command:

  • Nodemon.io

    Monitor for any changes in your node.js application and automatically restart the server - perfect for development

  • The nodemon package from the above command will automatically restart the server when file changes are detected. Once we’ve added the required packages, we’ll add scripts to package.json.
