Getting started with SwiftMoment
To start using SwiftMoment, it’s crucial to import the library at the top of your Swift file with `import SwiftMoment`.
Creating a Moment
You can create a Moment instance using the moment() function. It returns the current date and time if no parameters are passed, or a specific moment if a date/time string is passed.
