Syntax
public interface IClockRemarks
IClock is intended for use anywhere you need to have access to the current time.
Although it's not strictly incorrect to call
SystemClock.Instance.GetCurrentInstant() directly,
in the same way as you might call UtcNow, it's strongly discouraged
as a matter of style for production code. We recommend providing an instance of IClock
to anything that needs it, which allows you to write tests using the fake clock in the NodaTime.Testing
assembly (or your own implementation).Methods
GetCurrentInstant()
Gets the current Instant on the time line according to this clock.
Since 2.0.x
