Rethinking Tasks

tasks.md

• Issue: keithwhor/nodal#75

• Branch: https://github.com/intabulas/nodal/tree/0_6_0-RefactorTasks

• ✅ Right now we have ScheduledTask and Task with ScheduledTask being different in name only. I propose we drop ScheduledTask and just have Nodal.Task that can be scheduled or run one off

• ✅ Add flags to nodal new g:task to take optional schedule information

• ✅ Flag could be like nodal new g:task --schedule:5m. Maybe support s, m, h, d and w for durations. This would add to ./schedulers/main.js`

• ✅ Add (like with router) /* generator: begin tasks */ and * generator: end tasks */ to ./schedulers/main.js so that we can automatically add them when g:task is run with scheduler info

• ✅ Add (commented out) the default generated scheduler to app/app.js so that someone can quickly uncomment it to get scheduled tasks in the app thread

• ✅ Add a flag to nodal new to uncomment the commented out scheduler in app/app.js like we do with database now

• ❌ Add support for tasks to be bundled in npm modules for use by apps.. Need to think about how we "load" these
