#hex Working with Time in Elixir using 'timewrap'
Dealing with time in software development can be tricky. The timewrap
hex package for Elixir provides a convenient way to work with time-related operations, especially in testing.
timewrap
acts as a “Time-Wrapper” that allows you to access different time sources in Elixir and Erlang. One of its most powerful features is the ability to freeze and unfreeze timers. This is incredibly useful for writing deterministic tests for time-dependent code.
Instead of relying on the system clock, you can use timewrap
to control the flow of time in your tests, making them more reliable and easier to reason about.
You can find more details and examples of how to use timewrap
on its Hex.pm page.
