Readme — henryw374/tick 0.4.0-alpha2

tick

A Clojure(Script) library for dealing with time. Intended as a replacement for clj-time.

Based on Java 8 time (on the JVM) and js-joda (on JavaScript runtimes).

(require [tick.alpha.api :as t])

;; Get the current time
(t/now)

Status

Alpha: Ready to use with the caveat that the API might still undergo minor changes.

Install

Add to your project.clj, build.boot or deps.edn:

[tick "1.0-alpha-1"]

Development

with Clojure

REPL with nREPL server

clj -Adev

Port is written to .nrepl-port.

Run tests with:

clj -Atest -e deprecated

with ClojureScript

From the Clojure REPL type (node).

For testing, we are still using Leiningen:

lein doo node test

Acknowledgements

Tick is based on the same original idea as Chime. The motivation is to be able to view timelines of remaining times while the schedule is running. Thanks to James Henderson for his work on Chime.

In particular, special credit to Eric Evans for discovering Allen’s interval algebra and pointing out its potential usefulness, demonstrating a working implementation of Allen’s ideas in his Clojure library.

Thanks also to my esteemed colleagues Patrik Kårlin for his redesign of the interval constructor function, and Henry Widd for porting to cljc.
