Crate easy_time 

Easy Time

A simple and intuitive library for handling time in Rust.

easy_time provides a convenient wrapper around chrono to make common time operations more ergonomic and readable. Calculate dates in the future or past with ease using human-friendly static methods.

Features

• Simple static API for time calculations (seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, etc.)
• Support for both local time and UTC
• Generic over any chrono timezone
• Handles edge cases like leap years and month boundaries
• Human-readable method names like days_from_now() and months_ago()

Quick Start

use easy_time::EasyTime;
use chrono::Local;

// Calculate 5 days from now
let future = EasyTime::<Local>::days_from_now(5);

// Calculate 3 months ago
let past = EasyTime::<Local>::months_ago(3);

// Using UTC
let utc_future = EasyTime::<Local>::utc_hours_from_now(10);
