I want to run this function everyday midnight to check expiry_date_notification. what can I do? I'm new to django and python.
def check_expiry_date(request):
products = Product.objects.all()
for product in products:
product_id = product.id
expiry_date = product.expiry_date
notification_days = product.notification_days
check_date = int((expiry_date - datetime.datetime.today()).days)
if notification_days <= check_date:
notification = Notification(product_id=product_id)
notification.save()
As others have said, Celery can schedule tasks to execute at a specific time.
from celery.schedules import crontab
from celery.task import periodic_task
@periodic_task(run_every=crontab(hour=7, minute=30, day_of_week="mon"))
def every_monday_morning():
print("This is run every Monday morning at 7:30")
Install via pip install django-celery
