Support time-based scheduler

[EmadAlblueshi]

I wish that vert.x ecosystem has a time-based scheduler for complicated tasks because one-shot timers and periodic timers are very limited.

Thanks

Can you elaborate on the minimal features you would need?

[EmadAlblueshi]

@tsegismont Hi, something like Cron but in vert.x way of course.

[tsegismont]

As a workaround, if you're programming in Java, you could use cron4j. Just beware of the thread executing the task (use either runOnContext or the event bus to go back to Vert.x world).

@tsegismont @vietj Thanks for immediate response. I'm going to see your recommendations and such a feature would be great :+1:

[vietj]

@EmadAlblueshi have you checked the vertx-cron project ?

[EmadAlblueshi]

@vietj yes, It does the job but I'm not sure if it's polyglot

[vietj]

@EmadAlblueshi it could be contributed to the project instead - you should get in touch with the project owner

@vietj ok thanks
