from_erlang_local_datetime

</>

pub fn from_erlang_local_datetime(erlang_datetime: #(
    #(Int, Int, Int),
    #(Int, Int, Int),
  )) -> DateTime

calculates the DateTime value from the erlang datetime using the local offset of the system

from_erlang_universal_datetime

</>

pub fn from_erlang_universal_datetime(erlang_datetime: #(
    #(Int, Int, Int),
    #(Int, Int, Int),
  )) -> DateTime

calculates the DateTime value from the erlang datetime in UTC

from_http

pub fn from_http(value: String) -> Result(DateTime, Nil)

see here

from_iso8601

</>

pub fn from_iso8601(value: String) -> Result(DateTime, Nil)

from_unix

</>

pub fn from_unix(value: Int) -> DateTime

unix timestamps are the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1st, 1970

get_date

</>

pub fn now_with_offset(offset: String) -> Result(DateTime, Nil)

use this to get the current time with a given offset.

Some examples of acceptable offsets:

"+330", "03:30", "-8:00","-7", "-0400", "03"
