API Project: Timestamp Microservice for freeCodeCamp
User stories:
- The API endpoint is
GET [project_url]/api/timestamp/:date_string?. - A date string is valid if it can be successfully parsed by
new Date(date_string)(JS). Note that unix timestamp needs to be an integer (not a string) specifying milliseconds. The date string is assumed to be compliant with ISO-8601. - If the date string is empty it should use the current timestamp.
- If the date string is valid the API returns a JSON that looks like
{"unix": <date.getTime()>, "utc": <date.toUTCString()>}. - If the date string is invalid the API returns
{"unix": null, "utc": "Invalid Date"}.
Example usage:
/api/timestamp/2015-12-15/api/timestamp/1450137600000{ "unix": 1450137600, "natural": "December 15, 2015" }
