glib-date-playground

Working with GLib DateTime format strings is a little painful without a way to see what they resolve to.

So this project attempts to provide ways to play with GLib DateTime format strings.

• command: formatGLibDate
  • Install bun and gjs
    • Bun as the package manager and build time runtime; Node is not needed
    • gjs as the runtime for access to GLib
  • Go into ./formatGLibDate
  • make build
  • then run gjs ./dist/formatGLibDate <format>
    • --help is available
• planned browser frontend
  • The command alone is good enough for me now, but I kind of want a hosted frontend as well
  • The backend will run the command for each request (the command better be safe against user input)
  • The frontend can be a simple form
