Time Shield

Time-Shield is not only a combat tool of Homura Akemi, but also a header-only C++ library designed for time manipulation. This powerful library offers a wide range of functionalities, including time conversion, string formatting, and various transformations.

Features

• Date Validation: Validate dates for correctness, including leap years and day-offs.
• Time Formatting: Convert timestamps to formatted strings according to standard or custom patterns.
• Time Conversions: Convert between different time representations, including timestamps, date-time structures, and time zones.
• Utility Functions: Access a collection of utility functions for time-related calculations and conversions.
• Supports standards from C++11 to C++17.

Installation

To use Time Shield in your C++ projects, simply include the time_shield.hpp header file in your source code:

#include "time_shield.hpp"

Then, compile your project with the Time Shield library linked.

Usage

Here's a quick example demonstrating how to use Time Shield for time manipulation and conversion:

#include <iostream>
#include "time_shield.hpp"

int main() {
    // Get the current timestamp
    tsh::ts_t current_ts = tsh::timestamp(); // or ts();
    
    // Calculate the timestamp for the end of the current year
    tsh::ts_t future_ts = tsh::end_of_year(current_ts);
    
    // Calculate the number of days between current timestamp and the future timestamp
    int days = tsh::get_days_difference(current_ts, future_ts); // or days(current_ts, future_ts);
    std::cout << "Days until end of year: " << days << std::endl;
    
    // Convert the future timestamp to a formatted string in ISO8601 format
    std::string formatted_time = tsh::to_iso8601_str(future_ts);
    
    tsh::ts_ms_t ts_ms = 0;
    if (!tsh::str_to_ts_ms(formatted_time, ts_ms)) {
        std::cout << "Error occurred while parsing ISO8601 string" << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }

    // Convert the milliseconds timestamp to a formatted string in ISO8601 UTC format
    formatted_time = tsh::to_iso8601_utc_str_ms(ts_ms);

    // Output the formatted time
    std::cout << "Future time: " << formatted_time << std::endl;

    return 0;
}
