//! # Timestamp Pallet
//!
//! A pallet that provides a way for consensus systems to set and check the onchain time.
//!
//! ## Pallet API
//!
//! See the [`pallet`] module for more information about the interfaces this pallet exposes,
//! including its configuration trait, dispatchables, storage items, events and errors.
//!
//! ## Overview
//!
//! The Timestamp pallet is designed to create a consensus-based time source. This helps ensure that
//! nodes maintain a synchronized view of time that all network participants can agree on.
//!
//! It defines an _acceptable range_ using a configurable constant to specify how much time must
//! pass before setting the new timestamp. Validator nodes in the network must verify that the
//! timestamp falls within this acceptable range and reject blocks that do not.
//!
//! > **Note:** The timestamp set by this pallet is the recommended way to query the onchain time
//! > instead of using block numbers alone. Measuring time with block numbers can cause cumulative
//! > calculation errors if depended upon in time critical operations and hence should generally be
//! > avoided.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! To get the current time for the current block in another pallet:
//!
//! ```
//! use pallet_timestamp::{self as timestamp};
//!
//! #[frame_support::pallet]
//! pub mod pallet {
//! use super::*;
//! use frame_support::pallet_prelude::*;
//! use frame_system::pallet_prelude::*;
//!
//! #[pallet::pallet]
//! pub struct Pallet<T>(_);
//!
//! #[pallet::config]
//! pub trait Config: frame_system::Config + timestamp::Config {}
//!
//! #[pallet::call]
//! impl<T: Config> Pallet<T> {
//! #[pallet::weight(0)]
//! pub fn get_time(origin: OriginFor<T>) -> DispatchResult {
//! let _sender = ensure_signed(origin)?;
//! let _now = timestamp::Pallet::<T>::get();
//! Ok(())
//! }
//! }
//! }
//! # fn main() {}
//! ```
//!
//! If [`Pallet::get`] is called prior to setting the timestamp, it will return the timestamp of
//! the previous block.
//!
//! ## Low Level / Implementation Details
//!
//! A timestamp is added to the chain using an _inherent extrinsic_ that only a block author can
//! submit. Inherents are a special type of extrinsic in Substrate chains that will always be
//! included in a block.
//!
//! To provide inherent data to the runtime, this pallet implements
//! [`ProvideInherent`](frame_support::inherent::ProvideInherent). It will only create an inherent
//! if the [`Call::set`] dispatchable is called, using the
//! [`inherent`](frame_support::pallet_macros::inherent) macro which enables validator nodes to call
//! into the runtime to check that the timestamp provided is valid.
//! The implementation of [`ProvideInherent`](frame_support::inherent::ProvideInherent) specifies a
//! constant called `MAX_TIMESTAMP_DRIFT_MILLIS` which is used to determine the acceptable range for
//! a valid timestamp. If a block author sets a timestamp to anything that is more than this
//! constant, a validator node will reject the block.
//!
//! The pallet also ensures that a timestamp is set at the start of each block by running an
//! assertion in the `on_finalize` runtime hook. See [`frame_support::traits::Hooks`] for more
//! information about how hooks work.
//!
//! Because inherents are applied to a block in the order they appear in the runtime
//! construction, the index of this pallet in
//! [`construct_runtime`](frame_support::construct_runtime) must always be less than any other
//! pallet that depends on it.
//!
//! The [`Config::OnTimestampSet`] configuration trait can be set to another pallet we want to
//! notify that the timestamp has been updated, as long as it implements [`OnTimestampSet`].
//! Examples are the Babe and Aura pallets.
//! This pallet also implements [`Time`] and [`UnixTime`] so it can be used to configure other
//! pallets that require these types (e.g. in Staking pallet).
//!
//! ## Panics
//!
//! There are 3 cases where this pallet could cause the runtime to panic.
//!
//! 1. If no timestamp is set at the end of a block.
//!
//! 2. If a timestamp is set more than once per block:
#![doc = docify::embed!("src/tests.rs", double_timestamp_should_fail)]
//!
//! 3. If a timestamp is set before the [`Config::MinimumPeriod`] is elapsed:
#![doc = docify::embed!("src/tests.rs", block_period_minimum_enforced)]
#![deny(missing_docs)]
#![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std)]
