How do I get the Month as a number?

[Bas-Man]

Hi.
I have looked the documentation. I see that I can do .year() and get the year as as 2023 and .month() gets February. How do I get February as 2?

The answer is to use as u8 because the Month enum has #[repr(u8)]

So one can simply do

use time::OffsetDateTime;

fn main() {
    let date = OffsetDateTime::now_utc().date();
    println!("{}", date);
    let year = date.month();
    let mon = date.month() as u8;
    println!("{} {}", year, mon);
    // try using the `time` crate here
}

From<Month> is also implemented for u8, so you can do u8::from(mon) if you'd prefer. Either way works, and they have the same cost.
