Style (date)times as times — style

This function takes a numeric input vector, converts them to an hms (using hms::as_hms()), then to a POSIXlt (using base::as.POSIXlt()), and then formats is according to the format argument.

Usage

style_time(x, format = "%H:%M")

Arguments

x: a numeric vector to be styled
format: output format. Defaults to "%H:%M", which results in, e.g., "03:45". Look to base::strptime() for formatting options.

Value

a character vector of length(x)

Examples

#collect some time info
time <- 
sample.data.irregular |> 
dplyr::slice(300:305) |> 
dplyr::pull(Datetime)

#Output is of type POSIXct
