# Do You Have The Time?
|
||||
|
||||
Elixir doesn't come with any standard ways of getting at or working with
|
||||
time. There are packages like [Timex](https://github.com/bitwalker/timex)
|
||||
out there that we can pull in to our projects. However, if we don't have
|
||||
need for a full-featured date/time library, we can opt for a simpler
|
||||
solution.
|
||||
|
||||
Erlang can give us the time.
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
defmodule TickTock do
|
||||
def current_time do
|
||||
{hh,mm,ss} = :erlang.time
|
||||
"#{hh}:#{mm}:#{ss}"
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
> TickTock.current_time
|
||||
"11:47:13"
|
||||
```
