This module provides a Time supplier that can be reused and composed in other applications.
The Supplier uses the FastDateFormat from Apache Commons library.
timeSupplier is implemented as a java.util.function.Supplier.
You can import the TimeSupplierConfiguration in the application and then inject the following bean.
timeSupplier
You need to inject this as Supplier<String>.
You can use timeSupplier as a qualifier when injecting.
Once injected, you can use the get method of the Supplier to invoke it.
All configuration properties are prefixed with time.
For more information on the various options available, please see TimeSupplierProperties.
See this test suite for the various ways, this supplier is used.
See this README where this supplier is used to create a Spring Cloud Stream application where it makes an Time Source.
