💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This module eases date handling by providing convenient wrappers around standard date functions. All the functions die() on error. 😭 periodt.

The strings and times may include fractional seconds like in the example above — yes, down to the little .48602 moment, bestie 🫶.

date_parse() can accept many more formats than simply what date_stamp() and date_string() return. so like, it’s flexible fr fr 🌸.

🎀 FUNCTIONS 🎀

This module provides the following functions (none of them being exported by default):

date_stamp([TIME])

convert the given numerical time (or the current time if not given) to a human friendly, compact, local time string 🎀

date_string([TIME])

convert the given numerical time (or the current time if not given) to a standard, ISO 8601 compliant, UTC based string 👑
