# Do You Have The Time? - Part 2
|
||||
|
||||
In [_Do You Have The
|
||||
Time?_](https://github.com/jbranchaud/til/blob/master/elixir/do-you-have-the-time.md),
|
||||
I demonstrated a way of using an Erlang function to get at and work with
|
||||
time in Elixir. As of Elixir 1.3, there is now a [`Time`
|
||||
module](http://elixir-lang.org/docs/stable/elixir/Time.html) that provides a
|
||||
sigil and some functions for working with time.
|
||||
|
||||
We can use Elixir's `Time` module to simplify the example from the previous
|
||||
iteration of this TIL:
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
defmodule TickTock do
|
||||
def current_time do
|
||||
Time.from_erl!(:erlang.time)
|
||||
|> Time.to_string
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
> TickTock.current_time
|
||||
"19:58:12"
|
||||
```
