Usage Examples

[mlevkov]

I've been trying to figure out how to use your library for parsing iso:8601 duration and attach it to the standard Time or Chrono library. Do you have an example of such or other similar usages? All I get is the Duration enum with values, but cannot do anything else with it. Sorry, if this sounds too silly.

I'm not sure what you need.
Parsing a string to get the Duration enum is pretty much all this crate does:

iso8601/tests/lib.rs

Lines 960 to 1002 in a44ab6e

	#[test]
	fn test_duration_ymdhms() {
	// full YMDHMS
	assert_eq!(
	Ok(Duration::YMDHMS {
	year: 1,
	month: 2,
	day: 3,
	hour: 4,
	minute: 5,
	second: 6,
	millisecond: 0,
	}),
	duration("P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S")
	);
	// full YMDHMS with milliseconds dot delimiter
	assert_eq!(
	Ok(Duration::YMDHMS {
	year: 1,
	month: 2,
	day: 3,
	hour: 4,
	minute: 5,
	second: 6,
	millisecond: 700,
	}),
	duration("P1Y2M3DT4H5M6.7S")
	);
	// full YMDHMS with milliseconds comma delimiter
	assert_eq!(
	Ok(Duration::YMDHMS {
	year: 1,
	month: 2,
	day: 3,
	hour: 4,
	minute: 5,
	second: 6,
	millisecond: 700,
	}),
	duration("P1Y2M3DT4H5M6,7S")
	);

What else do you expect?

I believe the OP wanted compatibility with std::time::Duration and/or chrono::Duration.
I would like to add my +1 for this issue.
