speedDate makes it easy to get date format strings for use with
strftime().
You can install the released version of speedDate from GitHub with:
devtools::install_github("gadenbuie/speedDate")Does formatting a timestamp into a character string always start with a
long scroll through ?strftime to look up the correct format tokens?
Now you can get those tokens faster and move on with your day.
The speedDate RStudio addin gives you a date
Monday January 2, 15:04:05.987653 2006 -0700
and asks you to write it in text in the desired format. So you enter…
On 01.02.2006 at 15:04
…and the addin immediately gives you the format you want!
"On %m.%d.%Y at %R"
Inspired by go’s time parsing.
