✨ DateTime::Format::Epoch::TJD 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this little page is DateTime::Format::Epoch::TJD, a Perl module that converts DateTimes to and from Truncated Julian Days. it's giving niche-but-iconic. it's giving "I know exactly what I am." periodt. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe, copy-paste ready, no cap:

use DateTime::Format::Epoch::TJD;

my $dt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::TJD->parse_datetime( 13244.5 );
 # 2004-08-27T00:00:00

DateTime::Format::Epoch::TJD->format_datetime($dt);
 # 13244.5

my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Epoch::TJD->new();
my $dt2 = $formatter->parse_datetime( 13244.5 );
$formatter->format_datetime($dt2);

so you can call it class-style and let it do its thing, or you can make yourself a lil $formatter object and reuse it like the main character you are. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this module takes a DateTime object — or literally any object that can be converted into a DateTime object, we're not picky — and converts it to the Truncated Julian Day number. 🔥

and if you want the full deets on how all that works? the description lives over in DateTime::Format::Epoch::JD. go read that one, bestie, it's the whole explanation. 🫶

👑 METHODS 👑

most of the methods here are exactly the same as the ones in DateTime::Format::Epoch. like, same energy, same behaviour.

the one difference? the constructor. that's it. that's the tea. 🍓

• new() — the constructor for the formatter/parser object. it takes no parameters. none. zero. it just exists, effortlessly, like the icon it is. ✨
