Important

This project has been replaced by [`innmind/time`](https://github.com/Innmind/time)

This library allows you to handle time down to the millisecond. The point was to also be explicit for every component of dates, this is why every php *magic strings* have been converted into objects.

**All objects are immutable.**

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer install innmind/time-continuum
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Innmind\TimeContinuum\{
    Clock,
    PointInTime,
    Format,
};
use Innmind\Immutable\Attempt;

$clock = Clock::live();
$now = $clock->now(); // return an instance of PointInTime
echo $now->toString(); // 2016-10-11T12:17:30.123456+02:00

$epoch = $clock->at(
    '1970-01-01T00:00:00.000000+00:00',
    Format::iso8601(),
); // Attempt
```

Here we reference 2 points in time, the first is the exact moment we call `now` down to the microsecond and the second one is the epoch time.

The method `at()` accepts any string that is allowed by `\DateTimeImmutable`.
