Retrieve current system time as a formatted string with custom prefix option for timestamping in AI art projects.
The GetCurrentTime
node is designed to provide you with the current system time formatted as a string. This node is particularly useful when you need to timestamp events or logs within your AI art projects, ensuring that you can track when specific actions or processes occur. By allowing you to prepend a custom prefix to the time string, it offers flexibility in how the output is presented, making it easier to integrate into various workflows or documentation needs. The primary function of this node is to retrieve the current date and time from your system and format it in a human-readable way, which can be particularly beneficial for organizing and managing time-sensitive data.
The prefix
parameter allows you to specify a string that will be added at the beginning of the formatted time output. This can be useful for labeling or categorizing the time string in a way that makes sense for your specific use case. For example, you might use a prefix like "Start Time: " or "Log Entry: " to provide context to the time data. The default value for this parameter is an empty string, meaning no prefix will be added unless specified. There are no minimum or maximum values for this parameter, as it accepts any string input.
The any
parameter is an optional input that can accept any type of data. While it does not directly impact the execution of the node or the resulting time string, it provides flexibility for future extensions or integrations where additional data might be passed through the node. This parameter is designed to be versatile, allowing for a wide range of inputs without specific constraints.
The output of the GetCurrentTime
node is a single string that combines the specified prefix with the current system time, formatted as "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS". This output is crucial for applications where precise time tracking is necessary, such as logging events, creating time-stamped records, or synchronizing processes. The formatted time string provides a clear and standardized way to represent the current time, making it easy to read and understand.
