Blazor Server App - schedule a routine task-CodePudding

I have a Blazor Server .Net 6 app. I have a function in this app that I would like to be called every hour. In the past I have created a Windows Server Scheduled Task to call a web page that executes the function. I was wondering if there was any nice assemblies/methods I could add to my app that would allow me to do this instead. The other alterantive was to create an Azure Function but I thought i would investigate what I can do within the relms of my Blazor Server App first.

TIA

You can use a custom service with a timer for this. For example:

public class ExampleService : IDisposable
{
    public Timer? CheckTimer { get; set; }
    public async Task RunTimer()
    {
        CheckTimer = new Timer(async (e) =>
        {
            try
            {
                await Check();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

            }
        },null,0, 30000); // define interval here
    }

    public async Task Check()
    {
        // DO YOUR STUFF HERE 
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        CheckTimer.Dispose();
    }
}

In your Program.cs start the service:

await builder.Services.GetRequiredService<ExampleService>().RunTimer();
