ยงExamples
use pacsea::util::ts_to_date;
// Converting the timestamp for the release of a significant Arch Linux package update
// Example: A major 'glibc' or 'linux' package release
assert_eq!(ts_to_date(Some(1680307200)), "2023-04-01 00:00:00");
// Converting the 'LastModified' timestamp from an AUR package's metadata
// This is commonly used to show when a package was last updated in the AUR
assert_eq!(ts_to_date(Some(1704067200)), "2024-01-01 00:00:00");
// Handling the case where no timestamp is available (e.g., a package with no build date)
assert_eq!(ts_to_date(None), "");
