create DateTime with nanoseconds

[thomasmuehlschlegel]

The uuid1 is using nanoseconds, but the UuidInterface returns a DateTime object which does not include the nanoseconds.

DateTime can handle it if you adjust the initialization:

\DateTime::createFromFormat('U.u', sprintf('%.f', ($this->getTimestamp() - 0x01b21dd213814000) / 1e7))

Unfortunately, this is failing our tests, since the U option does not support negative timestamps. I'm still looking into it, though.

I spoke with Derick about it, and he has already fixed it in timelib. It will sync into PHP shortly: derickr/timelib@483fbab

Derick supposes it will hit PHP versions 5.5.31 / 5.6.15 / 7.0.0RC6. Since we still support 5.4 (and versions earlier than 5.5.31 and 5.6.15) in this library, we may not be able to use this functionality for a while. I'm investigating other options.

Another try:

$unixTime = ($this->getTimestamp() - 0x01b21dd213814000) / 1e7;
$microTime = abs($unixTime * 1e6 - (int)$unixTime * 1e6);

return new \DateTime(date('Y-m-d H:i:s', (int)$unixTime) . '.' . (int)$microTime);

I'm still working on this, but it's causing test failures, and I want to be careful, since changing the tests without considering the consequences in these cases could break software that depends on this library.

See #93 for the changes.

Please see version 4.0.0-alpha1. The getDateTime() method now returns a \DateTimeInterface instance that includes the microseconds.

Please see version 4.0.0-alpha1. The getDateTime() method now returns a \DateTimeInterface instance that includes the microseconds.

How can we get 4.0.0 through composer? Waiting for that release for a project. 👍

While the 4.0.0-alpha1 API is fairly stable, I don't recommend using it in production until the 4.0.0 release. That said, if you'd like to test it, I would recommend using this in your composer.json:

"ramsey/uuid": "4.0.0-alpha1 as 4.0.0"
