Human Date Parser

Parses strings that express dates in a human way into ones usable by code.

Usage

Using it is as simple as calling from_human_time with a string slice. Like this:

use human_date_parser::from_human_time;

fn main() {
    let date = from_human_time("Last Friday at 19:45").unwrap();
    println!("{date}");
}

You can also use the example to try out a few dates and see what it can and can't parse. Simply run cargo run --example stdin.
