React components for safely accessing the current time.

NPM

Install

NPM:

npm install --save react-timeprovider

Yarn:

yarn add react-timeprovider

Usage

import * as React from 'react';
 
import { TimeProvider, GetTime } from 'react-timeprovider';
 
const WeekendStatus = ({ currentTime }) => {
  // Because we take currentTime as a prop, we now no longer depend
  // on the external system time in our render function. We are now
  // a pure function
  const dayOfWeek = new Date(currentTime).getDay();
  const isWeekend = [0, 6].includes(dayOfWeek);
  if (isWeekend) {
    return <p>It&apos;s the weekend!</p>;
  }
  return <p>It is not the weekend. :(</p>;
};
 
const App = () => (
  <TimeProvider>

  </TimeProvider>
);
 
export default App;

Documentation

<TimeProvider>

Props:

  • interval (number, default 500) - The number of milliseconds to wait before updating the time.

<GetTime>

Takes a function as children and passes an object containing currentTime to that function.

withTime

A HOC that will pass the prop currentTime to the wrapped component.

useTime

A Hook that will give you access to the currentTime.

import { useTime } from 'react-timeprovider';
 
const MyComponent = {
  const { currentTime } = useTime();
 
  // do something
};

createTimeProvider(getTime)

If you are writing tests and want to mock out the getTime function or if you don't like the default time representation you can create your own <TimeProvider> component.

const MockTimeProvider = createTimeProvider(() => '2018–04–06T12:30:00Z');

The getTime function will be passed any extra props that you set onto <TimeProvider>. This is useful if you want the time zone for example.
