Nodejs execute function weekly

Question

Only need a simple alternative to weekly job scheduling in Node

I came across this and this, but I don't understand how can i use them in my case.

I simple want to execute function executeMeWeeklyAt1200PMMonday(). Is there a simple an easier way to do it? If not then can someone help me using any existing library to achieve this?

You can use the library cron like this:

var CronJob = require('cron').CronJob;
var job = new CronJob('0 0 12 * * 1', executeMeWeeklyAt1200PMMonday, null, true, 'America/Los_Angeles');

That will call the function executeMeWeeklyAt1200PMMonday every Monday at noon in Los Angeles. Change 'America/Los_Angeles` to the timezone you want to use.
