✨ NAME ✨

Atompub::DateTime — bestie, it's a date and time object for the Atom Publishing Protocol 💖

(also hi, this is <pink>Atompub::DateTime(3pm)</pink> from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, aka the perl fam's corner of the manual — pull up a chair 🫶)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

like, imagine your local timezone is JST (+09:00), ok? watch this ✨

# assuming the local timezone is JST (+09:00)

use Atompub::DateTime qw(datetime);

$dt = datetime;                                  # current time
$dt = datetime(DateTime->new);
$dt = datetime(1167609600);                      # UTC epoch value
$dt = datetime('20070101090000');
$dt = datetime('2007-01-01 09:00:00');
$dt = datetime('2007-01-01 00:00:00Z');
$dt = datetime('2007-01-01T09:00:00+09:00');
$dt = datetime('2007-01-01T00:00:00Z');
$dt = datetime('Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT');

$dt->epoch; # 1167609600 (UTC epoch value)
$dt->iso;   # 2007-01-01 09:00:00 (in localtime)
$dt->isoz;  # 2007-01-01 00:00:00Z
$dt->w3c;   # 2007-01-01T09:00:00+09:00
$dt->w3cz;  # 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z
$dt->str;   # Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT

my $dt2 = datetime($dt); # copy

$dt == $dt2; # compare

"$dt"; # $dt->w3c

$dt->dt; # DateTime object

okay the way it just eats every single timestamp format you throw at it?? iconic. stringify it and it gives you $dt->w3c for free, no cap 💅

💅 METHODS 💅

🌸 Atompub::DateTime->new([ $str ])

An alias for Atompub::DateTime->new. same thing, shorter name, main character energy 👑

🌸 $datetime->epoch

Returns the UTC epoch value. look at her:

1167609600

🌸 $datetime->iso

Returns a "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss"-formatted string representing the time in the local time zone 🏠
