NAME
Dancer2::Core::Time - class to handle common helpers for time manipulations
VERSION
version 0.11
SYNOPSIS
my $time = Dancer2::Core::Time->new( expression => "1h" ); $time->seconds; # return 3600
DESCRIPTION
For consistency, whenever something needs to work with time, it needs to be expressed in seconds, with a timestamp. Although it's very convenient for the machine and calculations, it's not very handy for a human-being, for instance in a configuration file. This class provides everything needed to translate any human-understandable expression into a number of seconds.
ATTRIBUTES
seconds Number of seconds represented by the object. Defaults to 0. epoch The current epoch to handle. Defaults to seconds + time. gmt_string Convert the current value in epoch as a GMT string. expression Required. A human readable expression representing the number of seconds to provide. The format supported is a number followed by an expression. It currently understands: s second seconds sec secs m minute minutes min mins h hr hour hours d day days w week weeks M month months y year years Months and years are currently fixed at 30 and 365 days. This may change. Anything else is used verbatim as the expression of a number of seconds. Example: 2 hours, 3 days, 3d, 1 week, 3600, etc...
