rustHow to get current date in Rust

Getting the current date in Rust is easy with the chrono crate.

use chrono::{Local, DateTime};

let now: DateTime<Local> = Local::now();
println!("{}", now);

The code above will print the current date and time in the local timezone.

Code explanation

• use chrono::{Local, DateTime}; - imports the Local and DateTime types from the chrono crate
• let now: DateTime<Local> = Local::now(); - creates a DateTime object with the current date and time in the local timezone
• println!("{}", now); - prints the DateTime object
