Unix Timestamp in Elixir
Look up the current epoch time and convert between Unix seconds and UTC dates in Elixir.
Get the current timestamp
IO.puts(System.system_time(:second))Timestamp to date
IO.puts(DateTime.from_unix!(1_700_000_000) |> DateTime.to_iso8601())Date to timestamp
{:ok, utc, 0} = DateTime.from_iso8601("2023-11-14T22:13:20Z")
IO.puts(DateTime.to_unix(utc))Open 1700000000 in the converter

How to use it
- Copy the current-time example into your Elixir environment to read Unix seconds.
- Run the second example to display 1700000000 as a UTC date.
- Run the last example to convert that date back into seconds.
DateTime.from_unix! and DateTime.to_unix default to seconds. Pass :millisecond explicitly when working with a millisecond value.
