Current Time¶
Class: CurrentTimeBlockV1
Source: inference.core.workflows.core_steps.formatters.current_time.v1.CurrentTimeBlockV1
Output the current date and time for a given timezone.
Provide one of the curated timezone options (for example America/New_York,
Europe/Berlin, or UTC) and the block returns the current moment in that
timezone. The block produces a timestamp (a timezone-aware datetime object you
can pass to other blocks), along with ready-to-use iso_string, date, and
time strings.
The timezone may be a literal value typed into the block, or a reference to a workflow input or another step's output.
Type identifier¶
Use the following identifier in step "type" field: roboflow_core/current_time@v1to add the block as
as step in your workflow.
Properties¶
| Name | Type | Description | Refs |
|---|---|---|---|
name |
str |
Enter a unique identifier for this step.. | ❌ |
timezone |
str |
Curated IANA timezone name to report the current time in.. | ✅ |
The Refs column marks possibility to parametrise the property with dynamic values available
in workflow runtime. See Bindings for more info.
