format a date in to the format month day, year in rust

To format a date in Rust to the format "Month day, year", you can use the format method from the chrono crate. Here's an example:

main.rs
use chrono::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let date = Utc::now(); // Use Utc time zone as an example

    let formatted_date = date.format("%B %e, %Y").to_string();

    println!("{}", formatted_date); // Outputs something like "July 1, 2022"
}
243 chars
10 lines

In this example, we first create a DateTime object for the current UTC time using the Utc::now() method from the chrono crate. Then, we use the format method on this object to specify the desired format. In the format string passed to format, %B represents the full month name (e.g. "July"), %e represents the day of the month as a space-padded number (e.g. " 1" for the first day of the month), and %Y represents the full year (e.g. "2022"). Finally, we convert the formatted date to a string using the to_string method, and print it to the console using println.
