# Migration Guide: `gocron` v1 → v2
This guide helps you migrate your code from the `v1` branch to the `v2` branch of [go-co-op/gocron](https://github.com/go-co-op/gocron).
Version 2 is a major rewrite focusing on improving the internals of gocron, while also enhancing the user interfaces and error handling.
All major functionality has been ported over.

## Overview of Major Changes
- **Breaking API changes**: All major interfaces and types have changed.
- **Improved error reporting**: Most functions now return errors.
- **Job IDs and cancellation**: Jobs have unique IDs and can be cancelled.
- **Distributed and monitored scheduling**: Built-in support for distributed schedulers and job monitors.
- **Context and logging enhancements**: Improved support for cancellation, context, and custom logging interfaces.
---
## Installation
Update your dependency to v2:
```sh
go get github.com/go-co-op/gocron/v2
```
**Note:** The import path is `github.com/go-co-op/gocron/v2`.
---
## API Changes
### 1. Scheduler Creation
**v1:**
```go
import "github.com/go-co-op/gocron"
s := gocron.NewScheduler(time.UTC)
```
**v2:**
```go
import "github.com/go-co-op/gocron/v2"
s, err := gocron.NewScheduler()
if err != nil { panic(err) }
```
- **v2** returns an error on creation.
- **v2** does not require a location/timezone argument. Use `WithLocation()` if needed.
---
### 2. Job Creation
**v1:**
```go
s.Every(1).Second().Do(taskFunc)
```
**v2:**
```go
j, err := s.NewJob(
gocron.DurationJob(1*time.Second),
gocron.NewTask(taskFunc),
)
if err != nil { panic(err) }
```
- **v2** uses explicit job types (`DurationJob`, `CronJob`, etc).
- **v2** jobs have unique IDs: `j.ID()`.
- **v2** returns an error on job creation.
#### Cron Expressions
**v1:**
```go
s.Cron("*/5 * * * *").Do(taskFunc)
```
**v2:**
```go
j, err := s.NewJob(
gocron.CronJob("*/5 * * * *"),
gocron.NewTask(taskFunc),
)
```
#### Arguments
**v1:**
```go
s.Every(1).Second().Do(taskFunc, arg1, arg2)
```
**v2:**
```go
j, err := s.NewJob(
gocron.DurationJob(1*time.Second),
gocron.NewTask(taskFunc, arg1, arg2),
)
```
---
### 3. Starting and Stopping the Scheduler
**v1:**
```go
s.StartAsync()
s.Stop()
```
**v2:**
```go
s.Start()
s.Shutdown()
```
- Always call `Shutdown()` for graceful cleanup.
---
### 4. Error Handling
- Most v2 methods return errors. Always check `err`.
- Use `errors.go` for error definitions.
