Tinystamp
A tiny, zero-dependencies crate to format a timestamp (or now) as an ISO-8601 string (e.g. 2024-04-05T10:01:31Z
).
The main usage is in simple code where you need to log a timestamp, but don't need an entire date library, like chrono or time.
Installation
Add this to your Cargo.toml
:
tinystamp = "0.1.0"
Usage
The usage is very simple, use the Datetime
struct to use a timestamp, or even easier use the current time. The you can format the timestamp as an ISO-8601 string using format_iso8601
:
use tinystamp::Datetime;
fn main() {
let datetime = Datetime::now();
// or
let datetime = Datetime::new(1712311291);
let iso_string = datetime.format_iso8601(); // "2024-04-05T10:01:31Z"
}
The Datetime
struct implements display, so it is even easier if you just want to print an ISO-8601 timestamp:
use tinystamp::Datetime;
fn main() {
println!("{}: An event happened!", Datetime::now());
}
Limitations
To keep this library minimal, there are a few limitations:
- It is focused on the current date, so only usable between 2001-2099.
- Only ISO-8601 without subseconds supported.
- No timezone support, everything is in UTC.
- No parsing as of now (maybe there will be ISO-8601 parsing).
