timestamp-service
User Stories (WIP):
-
The API endpoint is
GET [project_url]/api/timestamp/:date_string? -
A date string is valid if can be successfully parsed by new Date(date_string). Note that the unix timestamp needs to be an integer (not a string) specifying milliseconds. In our test we will use date strings compliant with ISO-8601 (e.g. "2016-11-20") because this will ensure an UTC timestamp.
-
If the date string is empty it should be equivalent to trigger new Date(), i.e. the service uses the current timestamp.
-
If the date string is valid the api returns a JSON having the structure
{"unix": <date.getTime()>, "utc" : <date.toUTCString()> }
e.g.
{"unix": 1479663089000 ,"utc": "Sun, 20 Nov 2016 17:31:29 GMT"}
- If the date string is invalid the api returns a JSON having the structure
{"error" : "Invalid Date" }.
Example Usage:
[project url]/api/timestamp/2015-12-25
[project url]/api/timestamp/1450137600
Example Output:
{"unix":1451001600000, "utc":"Fri, 25 Dec 2015 00:00:00 GMT"}
