DateTi...h::RJD(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

DateTime::Format::Epoch::RJD — the module that converts DateTimes to and from Reduced Julian Days, bestie ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so this is the whole vibe in like five lines:

use DateTime::Format::Epoch::RJD;

my $dt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::RJD->parse_datetime( 53244.5 );
 # 2004-08-27T00:00:00
DateTime::Format::Epoch::RJD->format_datetime($dt);
 # 53244.5

my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Epoch::RJD->new();

my $dt2 = $formatter->parse_datetime( 53244.5 );
 # 2004-08-27T00:00:00

$formatter->format_datetime($dt2);
 # 53244.5

see how the class methods and the object methods do the exact same thing?? yeah. that's the whole point. pick whichever one matches your ~main character energy~ 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this module can take a DateTime object — or honestly any object that can be converted to a DateTime object, we're not picky — and turn it into the Reduced Julian Day number. And it does the reverse too, no cap.

If you wanna know how this actually works under the hood, go read DateTime::Format::Epoch::JD for a description. That's where the lore lives, iykyk 🔥

---

✨ METHODS ✨

Most of the methods are literally the same as the ones in DateTime::Format::Epoch. Like, the whole entire toolkit. The only difference is the constructor. That's it, that's the tea 🍓

• new() — the constructor for the formatter/parser object. It takes no parameters. Zero. None. She doesn't want them. Build the object and go, periodt 👑
