JarCastingPervasive Code's Java Time Utilities
This library includes a few simple classes that simplify the creation of easily-testable code that needs to care about doing things in relation to wall-clock time.
In particular, if you are using dependency injection, you will want an interface to isolate your wall-clock-time-sensitive code from any sources of real time, so that your setup code can provide real instances that get real time values, while your test code provides fake, controllable time providers that let your tests run with no dependency on actual wall-clock time.
This library provides interfaces and implementations that are useful for this sort of approach.
(This is not a library for working with quantities of time, calendars, or for measuring the amount of time something takes.)
Overview of included classes
Javadocs are available on javadoc.io:
See the separate OVERVIEW.md file for a description of what interfaces and classes are included. (Overview content is taken from class Javadoc comments, so there's no need to read both.)
Including it in your project
Use groupId com.pervasivecode, name time-utils, version 0.11 in your build tool of choice.
Gradle Example
If you are using Gradle 4.x or 5.x, put this in your build.properties file:
// in your build.gradle's repositories {} block:
mavenCentral();
// in your build.gradle's dependencies {} block:
implementation 'com.pervasivecode:time-utils:0.11'
// or, if you prefer the separated group/name/version syntax:
implementation group: 'com.pervasivecode', name: 'time-utils', version: '0.11'
