cb-time v1.0.0

cb-connect

A CyberBrokers utility library to convert time from Earth time to TPL time (both ways)

Installation

Using npm:

  $ npm install cb-time

Basic Usage

For both conversions an "origin" time is required. This represents when the TPL first went online. This information is currently unknown but an approximation would be around 150 from current day. If no origin time is provided then 06/02/2170 will be used as default (until a better estimate is known).

convertToTplDatetime

Takes in an Earth datetime and converts it to a TPL time cycle, cirxit, syx, stax, blox, tix

Input: | Parameter | Type | Description | | :-------- | :------- | :------------------------- | | earthDatetime | number or Date() | Required A Date() or Unix time epoch for the Earth datetime | | origin | number or Date() | Optional A Date() or Unix time epoch for the start datetime of the TPL|

  import { convertToTplDatetime } from "cb-time";
  
  const earth_date = new Date(14007018452000)
  const tpl_date = convertToTplDatetime(earth_date)

  // [2667, 50, 1, 1, 22, 36]

convertToEarthDatetime

Takes in an TPL datetime (cycle, cirxit, syx, stax, blox, tix ) and converts it to Earth time

Input: | Parameter | Type | Description | | :-------- | :------- | :------------------------- | | tplDatetime | number[] | Required TPl date in the form cycle, cirxit, syx, stax, blox, tix | | origin | number or Date() | Optional A Date() or Unix time epoch for the start datetime of the TPL|

  import { convertToEarthDatetime } from "cb-time";
  
  const tpl_date = [2667, 50, 1, 1, 22, 36]
  const earth_date = convertToEarthDatetime(tpl_date)

modifyTplDatetime

Modify a TPL date by a given amount of tix

Input: | Parameter | Type | Description | | :-------- | :------- | :------------------------- | | tplDatetime | number[] | Required TPl date in the form cycle, cirxit, syx, stax, blox, tix | | tix | number | Optional The amount of tix +/- to modify the date by|

  import { modifyTplDatetime } from "cb-time";
  
  const tpl_date = [2667, 50, 1, 1, 22, 36]
  const modified_tpl_date = modifyTplDatetime(tpl_date, 30)

  // output = [2667, 50, 1, 1, 23, 6]
