A timestamp module
Faster and easier way to get an utc timestamp than calling standard Time lib
Add this to your application's shard.yml:
dependencies:
easy_utc_now:
github: ndudnicz/EasyUtcNow
version: 1.0.0require "easy_utc_now"
puts EasyUtcNow.now_utc_to_unix.now_utc_to_unix :
Int64Returns the current utc epoch timestamp in second
.now_utc_to_unix_ms_f :
Float64Returns the current utc epoch timestamp in msecond
.now_utc_to_unix_f :
Float64Returns the current utc epoch timestamp in second as Float64
