//! # Timestamp Pallet
//!
//! The Timestamp pallet provides functionality to get and set the on-chain time.
//!
//! - [`Config`]
//! - [`Call`]
//! - [`Pallet`]
//!
//! ## Overview
//!
//! The Timestamp pallet allows the validators to set and validate a timestamp with each block.
//!
//! It uses inherents for timestamp data, which is provided by the block author and
//! validated/verified by other validators. The timestamp can be set only once per block and must be
//! set each block. There could be a constraint on how much time must pass before setting the new
//! timestamp.
//!
//! **NOTE:** The Timestamp pallet is the recommended way to query the on-chain time instead of
//! using an approach based on block numbers. The block number based time measurement can cause
//! issues because of cumulative calculation errors and hence should be avoided.
//!
//! ## Interface
//!
//! ### Dispatchable Functions
//!
//! * `set` - Sets the current time.
//!
//! ### Public functions
//!
//! * `get` - Gets the current time for the current block. If this function is called prior to
//! setting the timestamp, it will return the timestamp of the previous block.
//!
//! ### Config Getters
//!
//! * `MinimumPeriod` - Gets the minimum (and advised) period between blocks for the chain.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! The following example shows how to use the Timestamp pallet in your custom pallet to query the
//! current timestamp.
//!
//! ### Prerequisites
//!
//! Import the Timestamp pallet into your custom pallet and derive the pallet configuration
//! trait from the timestamp trait.
//!
//! ### Get current timestamp
//!
//! ```
//! use pallet_timestamp::{self as timestamp};
//!
//! #[frame_support::pallet]
//! pub mod pallet {
//! 	use super::*;
//! 	use frame_support::pallet_prelude::*;
//! 	use frame_system::pallet_prelude::*;
//!
//! 	#[pallet::pallet]
//! 	pub struct Pallet<T>(_);
//!
//! 	#[pallet::config]
//! 	pub trait Config: frame_system::Config + timestamp::Config {}
//!
//! 	#[pallet::call]
//! 	impl<T: Config> Pallet<T> {
//! 		#[pallet::weight(0)]
//! 		pub fn get_time(origin: OriginFor<T>) -> DispatchResult {
//! 			let _sender = ensure_signed(origin)?;
//! 			let _now = <timestamp::Pallet<T>>::get();
//! 			Ok(())
//! 		}
//! 	}
//! }
//! # fn main() {}
//! ```
//!
//! ### Example from the FRAME
//!
//! The [Session pallet](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/blob/master/frame/session/src/lib.rs) uses
//! the Timestamp pallet for session management.
//!
//! ## Related Pallets
//!
//! * [Session](../pallet_session/index.html)
