## Overview The `DateTime (DTT)` library is a comprehensive and flexible tool that enables developers to manage dates and times with ease. It offers a wide range of functions, macros, and data structures for performing date and time operations, such as creating, parsing, validating, and formatting date-time objects. The library supports the creation of new `DateTime` objects with either UTC or custom timezone specifications, providing accurate and relevant date and time information. Additionally, it offers mechanisms for validating input dates and times, ensuring reliable and precise operations. ## Features The `DateTime (DTT)` library offers the following features: - **Core Fields**: - `datetime`: The date and time in UTC (`PrimitiveDateTime`). - `offset`: The timezone offset in UTC (`UtcOffset`). - **Core Methods**: - `new()`: Creates a new `DateTime` instance with the current UTC time. - `new_with_tz(tz: &str)`: Creates a new `DateTime` object with the specified timezone. - `new_with_custom_offset(hours: i8, minutes: i8)`: Creates a `DateTime` object with a custom UTC offset. - `from_components(year: i32, month: u8, day: u8, hour: u8, minute: u8, second: u8, offset: UtcOffset)`: Creates a `DateTime` object from individual date and time components. - `update(&self)`: Updates the `DateTime` object to the current date and time. - `now()`: Returns the current `DateTime`. - `from_str(s: &str)`: Parses a string into a `DateTime` instance (implementation of `FromStr` trait). - `default()`: Returns the current UTC time as the default value for `DateTime`. - **Parsing and Formatting**: - `parse(input: &str)`: Parses a date-time string into a `DateTime` object. - `parse_custom_format(input: &str, format: &str)`: Parses a date-time string using a custom format. -
