idate_time: Convert datetime values output by iFormBuilder

In arestrom/iformr: A set of tools to leverage the iFormBuilder API

Description

Date and time values output from iFormBuilder can be difficult to work with. The output will typically look like: "2014-11-13T15:04:00+00.00". The idate_time() function converts datetime outputs to standard format "2014-10-13 08:04:03" taking timezone into consideration.

Usage

idate_time(dts, timezone = "America/Los_Angeles")

Arguments

dts	A vector of datetimes as string values
timezone	A character string in standard format specifying timezone. Use OlsonNames() for a list of standard time zone character strings.

Sys.timezone for timezones

Examples

# Create vector that straddles change in daylight savings time
# Daylight savings time occurred: 2017-03-12 02:00:00
dts = c("2017-03-12T01:10:00+00:00", "", NA, "2017-03-12T02:10:00+00:00")

# Convert to standard format
idate_time(dts)
