DateTime?	NikNaks.DateTime.Get( Number? / String? / TimeDelta? / DateTime? var )	Returns a DateTime object matching the given Unix Time, matching the given String using the ISO-standard, TimeDelta from the current time or copy the DateTime given.

Examples on supported DataTime String-Formats:

"Sun, 01 Sep 2022 00:12:00"
"September 01, 2022 12:12 AM"
"2022-09-01T00:12:00+02:00"

DateTime Functions

Returns	Functions	Description
TimeDelta	DateTime:TimeUntil( Number?/String?/DateTime? var )	Returns the TimeDelta object until the given date. If no variable is given, it will use the current time.
String/Table	DateTime:ToDate( String format )	Returns the date/time as a formatted string or in a table. See: https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/os.date
Number	DateTime:GetUnix()	Returns Unix Time as a Number.

DateTime objects can also be added or subtracted with unix-numbers or another DateTime.

[DateTime] = [DateTime] - 86400 // Returns a new DateTime object that are 24 hours behind.
[DateTime] = [DateTime] + NikNaks.TimeDelta.Hour // Returns a new DateTime object that is 1hour ahead.
[TimeDelta] = [DateTime] - [DateTime] // Returns a [TimeDelta] object between the two DateTimes.

DateTime objects can also be compared with each other.

if( [DateTime] > [DateTime] ) then print("The first DateTime is newer") end
if( [DateTime] == [DateTime] ) then print("The two DateTime is the same") end
if( [DateTime] < [DateTime] ) then print("The first DateTime is older") end
