Function now 

Source 
pub fn now() -> i64
Expand description

Current Unix time in seconds, on Workers and in native tests.

On Workers it reads JavaScript’s Date.now(), which Workers advance only between I/O operations: precise enough for expirations (sessions, tokens, JWT exp, cache TTLs), not for measuring CPU time. Natively it reads std::time::SystemTime. Use it instead of SystemTime::now() in app code: that one panics on wasm32-unknown-unknown. Costs no binding call.

§Panics

Natively only, if the system clock is set before 1970.

§Examples

let issued_at = ocre::now();
let expires_at = issued_at + 3600;
assert!(expires_at > issued_at);
