The most important class in Luxon is DateTime. A DateTime represents a specific millisecond in time, along with a time zone and a locale. Here’s one that represents May 15, 2017 at 8:30 in the morning:
const dt = DateTime.local(2017, 5, 15, 8, 30);DateTime.local takes any number of arguments, all the way out to milliseconds. Underneath, this is similar to a JavaScript Date object. But we’ve decorated it with lots of useful methods.
