How do i make my javascript code run every Sunday at 23:59 pm in my backend?

So I am making an app about weekly statistics and in my backend I want to make it reset all of my stats at Sunday 23:59 pm each week. How should i go about this so it does not disturb the rest of my backend, it is written in javascript and node (express)?

You can use the cron package in Node to do it.

var CronJob = require('cron').CronJob;
var job = new CronJob('0 59 23 * * 0', function() {
  console.log('You will see this message every Sunday at 23:59');
}, null, true, 'America/Los_Angeles');
job.start();

You can achieve that using a cron job. I will send you a link to an article hopefully that will help you complete your application.node cron jobs by example

The node-cron library allows you to achieve this pretty easily:

const cron = require('node-cron');
const resetStats = () => { console.log("Resetting stats ...") };

// 59 23 * * SUN === every sunday at 23:59
cron.schedule('59 23 * * SUN', resetStats())
