Add SystemTime example #13

Description

@aligneddev

Add links and code example of a testing seam for DateTime.

I've called this systemTime in the past.
Here's a possible implementation
using System;

namespace Shared.Core.Implementations
{
///


/// Testable alternative to DateTime.Now or DateTimeOffset.Now
///

public static class SystemTime
{
private static DateTime? _dateTimeHolder = null;

 /// <summary>
/// Gets the current local DateTimeOffset
/// </summary>
public static DateTime Now => _dateTimeHolder ?? DateTime.Now;
/// <summary>
/// Allow overriding the time for testing
/// </summary>
/// <param name="fakeDateTime"></param>
public static void SetNow(DateTime fakeDateTime)
{
_dateTimeHolder = fakeDateTime;
}
public static void ResetNow()
{
_dateTimeHolder = null;
}
private static DateTimeOffset? _offsetHolder = null;
/// <summary>
/// Gets the current local DateTimeOffset
/// </summary>
public static DateTimeOffset NowOffset => _offsetHolder ?? DateTimeOffset.Now;
/// <summary>
/// Allow overriding the time for testing
/// </summary>
/// <param name="fakeDateTimeOffset"></param>
public static void SetNowOffset(DateTimeOffset fakeDateTimeOffset)
{
_offsetHolder = fakeDateTimeOffset;
}
public static void ResetOffsetNow()
{
_offsetHolder = null;
}
}

}
