pub fn from_human_time(str: &str) -> Result<ParseResult, ParseError>

Converts a human expression of a date into a more usable one.

This function will return an error if the string contains values than can not be parsed into a date.

Examples

use human_date_parser::{from_human_time, ParseResult};
let date = from_human_time("Last Friday at 19:45").unwrap();
match date {
    ParseResult::DateTime(date) => println!("{date}"),
    _ => unreachable!()
}
