Calendar functionalty has been added piece by piece to elixir core. Parsing is the last larger piece still missing, but also I feel like the one most tricky to get right. Andrea Leopardi recently did a few PRs to GitHub - hrzndhrn/datix: A date-time parser using `Calendar.strftime` format strings. · GitHub and I’ve heard Jose talk about it (iirc in one of the podcasts with thinking elixir), so it’s certainly on their mind.
Until then I’d just pull in datix for parsing tasks. There’s now a handful of smaller libraries, which just do a subset of datetime handling, so there’s no need to pull in the large timex library.
