{{#include ../links.md}}
Timestamps are provided by the [BasicTimePackage][packages] (excluded if using a [raw Engine])
via the timestamp function.
Timestamps are not available under [no_std].
The Rust type of a timestamp is std::time::Instant ([instant::Instant] in [WASM] builds).
[type_of()] a timestamp returns "timestamp".
Built-in Functions
The following methods (defined in the [BasicTimePackage][packages] but excluded if using a [raw Engine]) operate on timestamps:
| Function | Parameter(s) | Description |
|---|---|---|
elapsed method and property |
none | returns the number of seconds since the timestamp |
- operator |
later timestamp, earlier timestamp | returns the number of seconds between the two timestamps |
Examples
let now = timestamp();
// Do some lengthy operation...
if now.elapsed > 30.0 {
print("takes too long (over 30 seconds)!")
}
