elixir string to time
To convert a string to a time in Elixir, you can use the DateTime.from_iso8601/1
function. This function expects the string to be in ISO 8601 format, which is a standard format for representing dates and times. Here's an example:
datetime_string = "2023-11-29T10:30:00Z"
datetime = DateTime.from_iso8601(datetime_string)
In the example above, the datetime_string
variable holds the string representation of the date and time. The DateTime.from_iso8601/1
function is then used to convert this string to a DateTime
struct. The resulting datetime
variable will contain the parsed date and time.
Please note that the DateTime.from_iso8601/1
function returns an {:ok, datetime}
tuple if the conversion is successful. If the conversion fails, it returns an {:error, reason}
tuple.
If you have a string in a different format, you may need to use a different function or parse the string manually using pattern matching and string manipulation functions.
