elixir timex format
To format a date or time in Elixir using the Timex library, you can use the Timex.format/2
function. This function takes two arguments: the datetime value you want to format and a string that specifies the desired format.
Here's an example of how you can use Timex.format/2
to format a datetime value:
datetime = Timex.now()
formatted = Timex.format(datetime, "{YYYY}-{0M}-{0D} {0h}:{0m}:{0s}")
In this example, Timex.now()
returns the current datetime, and the format string "{YYYY}-{0M}-{0D} {0h}:{0m}:{0s}"
specifies the desired format. The format string uses placeholders enclosed in curly braces to represent different parts of the datetime value. For example, {YYYY}
represents the full year, {0M}
represents the zero-padded month, {0D}
represents the zero-padded day, {0h}
represents the zero-padded hour, {0m}
represents the zero-padded minute, and {0s}
represents the zero-padded second.
After calling Timex.format/2
, the formatted
variable will contain the datetime value formatted according to the specified format.
