<!-- GETTING STARTED -->
## 🏁 Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Python 3

### Installation
Using `pip`
```sh
pip install datetime_toolkit
```

<p align="right">(<a href="#top">back to top</a>)</p>

<!-- USAGE EXAMPLES -->
## ✨ Usage
### Default instantation
Default parameters are from 🇨🇱 Chile:
- NTP Server: [ntp.shoa.cl](https://shoabucket.s3.amazonaws.com/horaoficial.cl/procedimiento/procedimiento_ntp.pdf)
- Time zone: America / Santiago
- Locale: **Your system default locale**

To use custom locale, the language must be installed on your system. On Linux, check your `/etc/locale.gen` file.
For example, I have English, Spanish and German installed.
```sh
grep -v "#" /etc/locale.gen

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
es_CL.UTF-8 UTF-8
de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
```
```python
datetime_toolkit = DatetimeToolkit(locale = 'es_CL.UTF-8')
print(datetime_toolkit.months)
print(datetime_toolkit.days)

# Printed values
['Enero', 'Febrero', 'Marzo', 'Abril', 'Mayo', 'Junio', 'Julio', 'Agosto', 'Septiembre', 'Octubre', 'Noviembre', 'Diciembre']
['Lunes', 'Martes', 'Miércoles', 'Jueves', 'Viernes', 'Sábado', 'Domingo']
```

### Custom instantation
To use custom parameters, use the country [ISO 3166 alpha-2 code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes) to find your country information.

For example, the country code for 🇩🇪 Germany is "DE", so you can use:

```python
info = DatetimeToolkit.country_information(alpha_2_code = 'de')

# Static method country_information(code) will return a dictionary like this
info = {'country': 'Germany', 'time_zones': ['Europe/Berlin', 'Europe/Busingen']}
```
I will use [PTB NTP server](https://www.ptb.de/cms/ptb/fachabteilungen/abtq/gruppe-q4/ref-q42/zeitsynchronisation-von-rechnern-mit-hilfe-des-network-time-protocol-ntp.html) (`ptbtime1.ptb.de`) and the timezone from Berlin.
```python
datetime_toolkit = DatetimeToolkit(ntp = 'ptbtime1.ptb.de', tz = 'Europe/Berlin', locale = 'de_DE.UTF-8')
print(datetime_toolkit.months)
print(datetime_toolkit.days)

# Printed values
['Januar', 'Februar', 'März', 'April', 'Mai', 'Juni', 'Juli', 'August', 'September', 'Oktober', 'November', 'Dezember']
['Montag', 'Dienstag', 'Mittwoch', 'Donnerstag', 'Freitag', 'Samstag', 'Sonntag']
```
