Examples

Generate a time stamp using the defaults:

Time.stamp  #=> "2020-12-31T12:59:59.000000000Z"

Defaults:

• The current time

• The UTC time zone a.k.a. Zulu time zone a.k.a. "Z" time zome.

• Default RFC ISO format: "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%NZ'"

• Nanosecond precision

Set a different format:

Time.stamp_format = "%M/%D %H:%M"
Time.stamp #=> "12/31 12:59"

The same methods are also available for an instance:

t = Time.now
t.stamp #=> "2020-12-31T12:59:59.000000000Z"
t.stamp_format = "%M/%D %H:%M"
t.stamp #=> "12/31 12:59"
