Hello,
is it possible to add this possiblility ?
in NTPClient.h
/** * Return the date time from the epochtime value as a String with the given format (Ex: %Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S) */ String getFormattedDateTime(const char* dateTimeFormat, time_t t) const;

in NTPClient.cpp
String NTPClient::getFormattedDateTime(const char* dateTimeFormat, time_t t = 0) const { struct tm * ts; time_t rawTime = t ? t : this->getEpochTime(); ts = localtime(&rawTime); char buf[64]; strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), dateTimeFormat, ts); return String(buf); }

that may be useful

I think this is something more of a utility functions which NTPClient not directly involving. Passing epochtime from outside and getting it formatted is not part of a job in NTPClient.

Would be nice if we could have this in.

'class NTPClient' has no member named 'getFormattedDate'; did you mean 'getFormattedTime'?

getFormattedDateTime method will return the formatted date, time or datetime string according to the given format.

Ex:
datetime patter: %Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S or %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
date pattern: %Y/%m/%d
time pattern: %H:%M:%S

I'm also waiting for the same

[m4nzm333]

Not merged yet?

[dawidadach]

Is there any particular reason why that wasn't merged yet?

Is anything holding back timeClient.getFormattedDateTime()?
