I have a struct that contains a timestamp. For that I am using the chrono library. There are two ways to get the timestamp:
DateTime::parse_from_str
which results in a DateTime<FixedOffset>
UTC::now
which results in a DateTime<UTC>
.Is there a way to convert DateTime<UTC>
to DateTime<FixedOffset>
?
I believe that you are looking for DateTime::with_timezone
:
use chrono::{DateTime, Local, TimeZone, Utc}; // 0.4.9
fn main() {
let now = Utc::now();
let then = Local
.datetime_from_str("Thu Jul 2 23:26:06 EDT 2015", "%a %h %d %H:%M:%S EDT %Y")
.unwrap();
println!("{}", now);
println!("{}", then);
let then_utc: DateTime<Utc> = then.with_timezone(&Utc);
println!("{}", then_utc);
}
I've added a redundant type annotation on then_utc
to show it is in UTC. This code prints
2019-10-02 15:18:52.247884539 UTC
2015-07-02 23:26:06 +00:00
2015-07-02 23:26:06 UTC
