Clock

Set a date or jump ahead. Test what happens when a token expires. Pro adds freeze and speed. It also saves time and adds token tests.

Set up

Add this call beside UseBuoy in your app setup. Builder calls must come before builder.Build(). They use using Buoy.Maui;. Keep Buoy code in Debug guards. Here, services is your app's service provider.

builder.UseBuoyNetwork();
builder.UseBuoyClock();

var now = BuoyClock.Now;
await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromHours(1), BuoyClock.TimeProvider);

builder.UseBuoyNetwork();
builder.UseBuoyClock();

var now = BuoyClock.Now;
await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromHours(1), BuoyClock.TimeProvider);

Read app time through BuoyClock. You can use TimeProvider from app services too. BuoyClock.Now gives a UTC DateTimeOffset. .NET cannot patch DateTime.Now or DateTimeOffset.UtcNow. Those still read real time, unlike RN's patched Date.

The clock does not speed up OS or UI timers. Freeze and speed change dates; timers keep real speed. Forward jumps can run due timers from this clock. The jump switch turns this on or off. Token fault tests need the Buoy Network client.
