# Convert A Unix Epoch Timestamp To A Time Object
|
|
|
|
Ruby's `Time` class has an [`#at`
|
|
method](https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.6.3/Time.html#method-c-at) that allows you
|
|
get the _time_ at a certain unix epoch timestamp. That timestamp is an integer
|
|
value representing the number of seconds since the unix epoch. While it is a
|
|
handy way to store that data, it is hard to tell what time it represents at a
|
|
glance.
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
Time.at(1669652477)
|
|
=> 2022-11-28 10:21:17 -0600
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using `Time.at` we are able to turn that integer into a `Time` object that
|
|
represents the date and time in a human-readable way.
