Scheduled Executable

This module allows actions and other executable plugins to be scheduled for execution at a future time.

It uses a content entity type, scheduled_executable, to store the details of the plugin to execute.

Scheduled executables (SE) can be queried, inspected, and deleted prior to execution. Multiple scheduled items that are for the same execution time can be resolved at once, allowing priority logic to be applied.

Example:

// Create an instance of an executable plugin such as an action.
$action = $this->actionPluginManager->createInstance('my_action', ['config' => 'value']);

// Create a scheduled_executable.
$scheduled_executable = ScheduledExecutable::create()
  ->setExecutablePlugin('action', $action)
  ->setTargetEntity($my_entity)
  ->setExecutionTime(12345678);
$scheduled_executable->save();
