// Get individual components
year = current_time.timestamp("get-year")    // "2025"
month = current_time.timestamp("get-month")   // "01"
day = current_time.timestamp("get-day")      // "23"
hour = current_time.timestamp("get-hour")    // "4"
minute = current_time.timestamp("get-minute") // "51"
second = current_time.timestamp("get-second") // "29"

// Using components in a custom format
log month ++ "/" ++ day ++ "/" ++ year  // "01/23/2025"
log hour ++ ":" ++ minute             // "4:51"
```
