Many tasks require to be run every hour or day etc. On the server this is done using a cron.
Laravel provides an easy way to create scheduled events and (importantly) how to test them before they reach the cron stage on the server.
Below is a "Hello world" example, which should offer some confidence and inspiration.
At the end of routes/console.php add the following lines:
Schedule::call(function () {
echo "Hello World";
})->everyTwoSeconds();
Now run the command:
php artisan schedule:list
The command helpfully tells where the scheduling is going to take place.
Now let's run the task using the command:
php artisan schedule:work
After a short delay, you will see "Hello world" being outputted every 2 seconds as we stipulated.
Now you can see all sorts of options.
