Detailed Description

Custom reflector for std::chrono::system_clock::time_point.

Serializes to and from an ISO 8601 compliant UTC string. This is the idiomatic C++23 approach, using std::format and std::chrono::parse for type-safe and portable operations.

Serialized format: "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" (assumed to be UTC) Example: "2023-10-27 14:45:30"

Member Function Documentation

to()

static std::chrono::system_clock::time_point to ( const ReflType &  str )

static

Parses a string into a time_point.

Uses std::chrono::from_stream (C++20) to safely parse the string format into a std::chrono::sys_timepoint.

Parameters

str	The string to parse.

Returns

A system_clock::time_point representing the parsed time.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

if the string cannot be parsed.

from()

static ReflType from ( const std::chrono::system_clock::time_point &  v )

static

Formats a time_point into a string.

Uses std::format (C++23) to create a clean, unambiguous UTC string representation. This avoids all C-style time functions.

Parameters

v	The time_point to format.

Returns

A string representation of the time_point.
