The DateTools class contains some extra functionalities for handling Date
instances and timestamps.
In the context of Haxe dates, a timestamp is defined as the number of milliseconds elapsed since 1st January 1970.
Static methods
staticformat (d:Date, f:String):String
Format the date d according to the format f. The format is
compatible with the strftime standard format, except that there is no
support in Flash and JS for day and months names (due to lack of proper
internationalization API). On Haxe/Neko/Windows, some formats are not
supported.
var t = DateTools.format(Date.now(), "%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S");
// 2016-07-08_14:44:05
var t = DateTools.format(Date.now(), "%r");
// 02:44:05 PM
var t = DateTools.format(Date.now(), "%T");
// 14:44:05
var t = DateTools.format(Date.now(), "%F");
// 2016-07-08
