cRonstrue * * * * *

translate cron expressions to human readable descriptions

"Every 5 minutes"

cRonstrue is a JavaScript library that parses a cron expression and outputs a human readable description of the cron schedule. For example, given the expression "*/5 * * * *" it will output "Every 5 minutes". This library was ported from the original C# implementation called cron-expression-descriptor and is also available in a few other languages. The library was created by and is maintained by Brady Holt, and has received many improvements from other contributors.
