Function chrono::serde::ts_microseconds::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 microseconds since the epoch

Intended for use with serdes serialize_with attribute.

Example:

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

let my_s = S {
    time: NaiveDate::from_ymd_opt(2018, 5, 17).unwrap().and_hms_micro_opt(02, 04, 59, 918355).unwrap().and_local_timezone(Utc).unwrap(),
};
let as_string = serde_json::to_string(&my_s)?;
assert_eq!(as_string, r#"{"time":1526522699918355}"#);
