I'm liking the new timeAPI for Monotonic and TestTime. TimeMark is pretty awesome for most things where I mark time from a point. Only one slight issue. I have one place where I get a time given to me as a ZonedDateTime(instead of assuming now). Is there a way given a Clock and a ZonedDateTime to create a TimeMark?

I think you can make a TimeSource implementation, that wraps Clock and return time marks based on instants.

Something like:

Untitled.kt

I'm thinking the other way around though... I have a Timesource already that I'm using for a few periodic duration type activities.. Then I have a new places where the "time" is sent in via a String that I parse into a ZoneDateTime. I want to take that zoneDateTime and turn it into a TimeMark.

like

[taer]

val timeMark = ZoneDateTime.parse("2020-05-03T01:01:01Z").asTimeMark()

[taer]

val hasItBeenAMinute = tm.plus(1.minutes).hasPassedNow()

[taer]

ohh.. wait.. lemme re-look at that

[taer]

didnt see the markAt's in there.

[taer]

yeah.. I think that'll work. Awesome!
