=====

[](#usage)

### addEvent

[](#addevent)

This function is used to add a new event log. Optionally override the default timestamp (now).

```
/**

 *
 * @param string $text event content

 * @return boolean success
 * @author Alec M.
 */
public function addEvent(string $text, \DateTime $timestamp = null) : bool
```

### getStartTime

[](#getstarttime)

This function returns the exact DateTime for the timestamp of the first event added.

```
/**
 * Return first event timestamp
 *
 * @return \DateTime
 */
public function getStartTime() : \DateTime
```

### getEndTime

[](#getendtime)

This function returns the timestamp as a DateTime for the last time an event was added to the log.

```
/**
 * Return last event timestamp
 *
 * @return \DateTime
 */
public function getEndTime() : \DateTime
```

### getEvents

[](#getevents)

This returns the event log as an array.

```
/**
 * Return collection of events
 *
 * @return array
 */
public function getEvents() : array
```

### getEventsTable
