DateTime FAQs

Question 1

Does DateTime offer any options for the date format?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the `get_current_date` function returns the date in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD). It also includes an `include_weekday` option, allowing you to optionally retrieve the current date along with the corresponding weekday.

Question 2

What is DateTime and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

DateTime is a developer tool designed to provide accurate, timezone-aware date and time information. It allows you to retrieve the current date in ISO format (with an optional weekday) and the current time in either 12-hour or 24-hour format.

Question 3

How do I configure the default timezone for DateTime?

Accepted Answer

You can easily configure the default timezone by setting the `DEFAULT_TZ` environment variable (for STDIO usage) or by including it as a header (for HTTP server usage) with a valid timezone identifier like 'America/New_York' or 'UTC'.

Question 4

What happens if an invalid timezone or time format is provided?

Accepted Answer

DateTime is built with robust fallbacks. If an invalid timezone is specified, it will automatically default to UTC. Similarly, if an invalid `TIMEFMT` is provided, it will default to the 24-hour format, ensuring continuous and reliable operation.

Question 5

Can I get the current time in both 12-hour and 24-hour formats?

Accepted Answer

Yes, DateTime supports configurable time formats. You can specify your preference (12-hour or 24-hour) using the `TIMEFMT` environment variable or header, setting it to '12' or '24' respectively.
