Complete drop-in replacement for [std::time] that works in the browser.
Currently [Instant] and [SystemTime] will simply panic when using the
wasm32-unknown-unknown target. This implementation uses
[Performance.now()] to offer a drop-in replacement that works in the
browser.
At the same time the library will simply re-export [std::time] when not
using the wasm32-unknown-unknown target and will also not pull in any
dependencies.
Additionally, if compiled with target-feature = "atomics" it will
synchronize the timestamps to account for different context's, like web
workers. See [Performance.timeOrigin] for more information.
This library specifically targets browsers, that support
[Performance.now()], with the wasm32-unknown-unknown target. Emscripten
is not supported. WASI doesn't require support as it has it's own native API
to deal with [std::time].
Furthermore it depends on [wasm-bindgen], which is required. This library
will continue to depend on it until a viable alternative presents itself, in
which case multiple ecosystems could be supported.
Currently a known bug is affecting browsers on operating system other then
Windows. This bug prevents [Instant] from continuing to tick when the
context is asleep. This doesn't necessarily conflict with Rusts requirements
of [Instant], but might still be unexpected.
See the MDN documentation on this for more information.
You can simply import the types you need: ```rust use web_time::{Instant, SystemTime};
let now = Instant::now(); let time = SystemTime::now(); ```
As this library heavily relies on [wasm-bindgen] the MSRV depends on it.
At the point of time this was written the MSRV is 1.56.
instant 
is a popular alternative! However the API it implements doesn't match [std::time] exactly.
