# GrassHopper

GrassHopper is a tiny abstraction over GenServer, that helps building
dynamically scheduled recursive processes. It allows to efficiently jump
along timestamps and perform user defined actions. Think of a librarian
going through the list of borrowed books and calling the borrowers
as their leases reach the due date.

User of GrassHopper needs to implement two callbacks:

- `next` is called to compute the next timestamp (NaiveDateTime) or nil which will cause
  the process to wait indefinitely or max_timeout
- `perform`: called to perform the operation on a given interval

## Installation

  ]
end
```
