reminder about Date.now() on cloudflare worker #21

Closed he-yang closed 2 years ago

he-yang commented 2 years ago

While reading https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/web-standards/

it was noted that Date.now() returns the time of the last I/O; it does not advance during code execution.

A reminder to consider this in your code.

I don't think that it matters too much.

How else would we determine the current time otherwise?

he-yang commented 2 years ago

I was writting some scripts requires getting current time on Cloudflare worker, and noted this special information from offical documentation.

Havn't figured out any good solutions. Hope someone can provide nice alternative.

I think it's very unlikely that this will become an issue, also there's not really another viable alternative.

@he-yang Thanks for the headsup :)
