Laravel Cronless Schedule Laravel Package
spatie/laravel-cronless-schedule
Run Laravel’s scheduler without cron. This dev/test-friendly package adds php artisan schedule:run-cronless, which uses a ReactPHP loop to execute the scheduler on a timer (default every minute), with optional custom frequency and manual runs.
Run the Laravel scheduler without relying on cron
Laravel's native scheduler relies on cron to be executed every minute. It's rock solid and in most cases you should stick to using it.
If you want to simulate the scheduler running every minute in a test environment, using cron can be cumbersome. This package provides a command to run the scheduler every minute, without relying on cron. Instead it uses a ReactPHP loop.
This is how you can start the cronless schedule:
php artisan schedule:run-cronless
This command will never end. Behind the scenes it will execute php artisan schedule every minute.

Installation
You can install the package via composer. Probably you only want to use this schedule in a development environment.
composer require spatie/laravel-cronless-schedule --dev
Usage
This is how you can start the cronless schedule:
php artisan schedule:run-cronless
By default, it will run every minute.
Manually triggering a run
To perform an extra run of the scheduler, just press enter.
Using an alternative frequency
If you want to run the scheduler at another frequency, you can pass an amount of seconds to the frequency option. Here is an example where the schedule will be run every 5 seconds.
php artisan schedule:run-cronless --frequency=5
Using another command
If you want to run another command instead of the scheduler, just can pass it to the command option. Here is an example where another command will be run every 5 seconds.
php artisan schedule:run-cronless --command=your-favorite-artisan-command
Only run the schedule for a certain period
By default, the command will run forever. You can shorten that period by passing an amount of seconds to the stop-after-seconds option.
In this example we'll stop the command after 5 seconds
php artisan schedule:run-cronless --stop-after-seconds=5
