Function chrono::serde::ts_seconds::serialize

pub fn serialize<S>(
    dt: &DateTime<Utc>,
    serializer: S
) -> Result<S::Ok, S::Error>
where
    S: Serializer,

Serialize a UTC datetime into an integer number of seconds since the epoch

Intended for use with serdes serialize_with attribute.

Example:

use chrono::serde::ts_seconds::serialize as to_ts;
#[derive(Serialize)]
struct S {
    #[serde(serialize_with = "to_ts")]
    time: DateTime<Utc>,
}

let my_s = S { time: Utc.with_ymd_and_hms(2015, 5, 15, 10, 0, 0).unwrap() };
let as_string = serde_json::to_string(&my_s)?;
assert_eq!(as_string, r#"{"time":1431684000}"#);
