How to convert unix to NaiveDateTime?
I receive data in timestamp format (unix), for example, “1466329342388” and I need to convert it to the DateTime format that would be the NaiveDateTime in the case to insert in my bank, I only see the conversion in reverse, but not in this way , someone to help me?

You can do the following:
iex> 1466329342 |> DateTime.from_unix!() |> DateTime.to_naive()
~N[2016-06-19 09:42:22]
note, I removed the trailing 388, the milliseconds, as the function only accepts whole seconds, you’d need to manually add that back.
Out of curiosity, why do you need it as naive date time? Given unix time is essentially %DateTime{} in UTC timezone, I’d consider keeping that representation in your app.

This can be changed with an argument:
iex(1)> 1466329342388 |> DateTime.from_unix!(:millisecond) |> DateTime.to_naive()
~N[2016-06-19 09:42:22.388]

Of course, I just wanted to say that not everything that looks like a Unix timestamp is in UTC…
