How can we convert google.protobuf.Timestamp to Ruby DateTime object?

Question

There aren't much of details for this question, I am getting a kafka event where the time is of type google.protobuf.Timestamp. These kafka events are being posted(through HTTP) to my rails app where I need the time to be in datetime format of ruby instead of google.protobuf.Timestamp

Answer 1

Convert microseconds to nanos and use Time.at(seconds, microseconds_with_frac) → time

epoch_micros = timestamp.nanos / 10 ** 6
Time.at(timestamp.seconds, epoch_micros)
