Getting started

Installation

Add the package with the manager you already use. Types are included, and there are no dependencies to pull in.

bun add cronbake

Requirements

Cronbake needs a long-running server process on Bun or Node. The published builds have been tested on Bun 1.3 and on Node 22 and 24.

Browsers aren’t a supported target, because the file persistence provider imports fs and path.

The package ships ESM and CommonJS builds with TypeScript declarations. The ESM build is about 32 KB, or 7 KB gzipped.

Baker is both the default export and a named export.

import Baker from "cronbake";
import { Cron, CronParser, FilePersistenceProvider, RedisPersistenceProvider } from "cronbake";

CommonJS works too:

const { Baker, Cron } = require("cronbake");

Some types you might reach for aren’t exported yet, including JobMetrics and PersistenceProvider. The types reference shows how to derive them.
