GoodTimes

Expressive and easy to use datetime functions.

Unbelivably nice...I'm proud that we have this.

Usage

Update your mix.exs file and run mix deps.get.

defp deps do
  [{:good_times, "~> 1.1"}]
end

Import the module or modules holding the functions you want to use.

defmodule MyModule do
  import GoodTimes            # core functions.
  import GoodTimes.Boundary   # find boundaries between time units.
  import GoodTimes.Convert    # convert between dates, datetimes and times.
  import GoodTimes.Date       # functions operating on and returning dates.
  import GoodTimes.Generate   # functions generating streams of time units.

For more information, see the full documentation.

Known limitations

As GoodTimes uses Erlangs calendar module, dates and times before year 0 aren't supported.
