Setting time requirements in Solidity

Question

I want a function to only be able to be called after a certain specific period of time has passed from the contract's inception. Generally, I was using block.number for that. As in:

require(block.number >= 8000000);

However, if I want to use block.timestamp, could I do as below:

contract Time is owned {

    uint today;

    constructor() public {
       today = block.timestamp;
    } 

Declare 'today', and then set a requirement:

require (block.timestamp >= today + 365 days);

Will that work in preventing that the function gets called before 365 days pass from the publishing of the contract?

Answer 1

You're totally right! The way you do has no problem. You can make a test with small time like require (block.timestamp >= today + 60 seconds);
