== Timex == [[File:Timex logo.png|right|thumb|200px|Timex logo]] '''Timex''' is a comprehensive, feature-rich time library in [[Elixir (programming language)|Elixir]] that provides a powerful set of functions for working with dates, times, and time intervals. The library allows developers to effortlessly handle various time-related operations, making it an essential tool for any Elixir project requiring time-aware functionalities. === Features === Timex offers a wide range of features, some of which include: * Flexible and precise time parsing and formatting * Time arithmetic, including addition, subtraction, and comparison of dates and times * Timezone calculations and conversions * Support for recurring events and schedules * Calendar calculations, such as determining the number of days between two dates * Localization and multilingual support * Timezone database updates With these features, Timex simplifies working with dates and times in Elixir, allowing developers to focus on building robust applications without the need to write complex and error-prone time-related code from scratch. === Installation === To begin using Timex, you need to include it as a dependency in your Elixir project. Open your project's `mix.exs` file and add Timex to the `deps` function: ```elixir defp deps do [ {:timex, "~> x.x.x"} ] end ``` Replace `x.x.x` with the desired version of Timex. Then, run `mix deps.get` to fetch the dependency. === Usage === Once installed, you can use the Timex functions in your Elixir scripts by following these steps: 1. Import the Timex module in your module: ```elixir import Timex ``` 2. Use the various Timex functions to perform time-related operations. For example: ```elixir now = Timex.now() # Get the current datetime formatted = Timex.format(now, "{YYYY}-{0M}-{0D}") ``` In the example above, `now` stores the current datetime, and `formatted` contains the formatted date string in the desired format. === Resources === Here are some additional articles on the Elixir wiki that you may find helpful: * [[Elixir (programming language)|Elixir]]: Learn more about the programming language used alongside Timex. * [[Calendar (Elixir)]]: Discover Elixir's built-in calendar types and operations. * [[Phoenix (web framework)|Phoenix]]: Explore Phoenix, a popular web framework in Elixir, for building scalable applications. Refer to the official Timex documentation for a comprehensive guide on using the library and exploring its various functionalities.
