Source 
pub fn from_human_time(
    str: &str,
    now: NaiveDateTime,
) -> Result<ParseResult, ParseError>
Expand description

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

§Errors

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

§Examples

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