Dates and Time

Dates and Time Types

Base.Dates.PeriodType

Period
Year
Month
Week
Day
Hour
Minute
Second
Millisecond
Microsecond
Nanosecond

Period types represent discrete, human representations of time.

source

Base.Dates.CompoundPeriodType

CompoundPeriod

A CompoundPeriod is useful for expressing time periods that are not a fixed multiple of smaller periods. For example, "a year and a day" is not a fixed number of days, but can be expressed using a CompoundPeriod. In fact, a CompoundPeriod is automatically generated by addition of different period types, e.g. Year(1) + Day(1) produces a CompoundPeriod result.

source

Base.Dates.InstantType

Instant

Instant types represent integer-based, machine representations of time as continuous timelines starting from an epoch.

source

Base.Dates.UTInstantType

UTInstant{T}

The UTInstant represents a machine timeline based on UT time (1 day = one revolution of the earth). The T is a Period parameter that indicates the resolution or precision of the instant.

source

Base.Dates.TimeTypeType

TimeType

TimeType types wrap Instant machine instances to provide human representations of the machine instant. Time, DateTime and Date are subtypes of TimeType.

source

Base.Dates.DateTimeType

DateTime

DateTime wraps a UTInstant{Millisecond} and interprets it according to the proleptic Gregorian calendar.

source

Base.Dates.DateType

Date

Date wraps a UTInstant{Day} and interprets it according to the proleptic Gregorian calendar.

source

Base.Dates.TimeType

Time

Time wraps a Nanosecond and represents a specific moment in a 24-hour day.

source

Dates Functions

All Dates functions are defined in the Dates module; note that only the Date, DateTime, and now functions are exported; to use all other Dates functions, you'll need to prefix each function call with an explicit Dates., e.g. Dates.dayofweek(dt). Alternatively, you can write using Base.Dates to bring all exported functions into Main to be used without the Dates. prefix.

Base.Dates.DateTimeMethod

DateTime(y, [m, d, h, mi, s, ms]) -> DateTime

Construct a DateTime type by parts. Arguments must be convertible to Int64.

source

Base.Dates.DateTimeMethod

DateTime(periods::Period...) -> DateTime

Construct a DateTime type by Period type parts. Arguments may be in any order. DateTime parts not provided will default to the value of Dates.default(period).

source

Base.Dates.DateTimeMethod

DateTime(f::Function, y[, m, d, h, mi, s]; step=Day(1), limit=10000) -> DateTime

Create a DateTime through the adjuster API. The starting point will be constructed from the provided y, m, d... arguments, and will be adjusted until f::Function returns true. The step size in adjusting can be provided manually through the step keyword. limit provides a limit to the max number of iterations the adjustment API will pursue before throwing an error (in the case that f::Function is never satisfied).

source

Base.Dates.DateTimeMethod

DateTime(dt::Date) -> DateTime

Converts a Date to a DateTime. The hour, minute, second, and millisecond parts of the new DateTime are assumed to be zero.

source

Base.Dates.DateTimeMethod

DateTime(dt::AbstractString, format::AbstractString; locale="english") -> DateTime

Construct a DateTime by parsing the dt date string following the pattern given in the format string.

This method creates a DateFormat object each time it is called. If you are parsing many date strings of the same format, consider creating a DateFormat object once and using that as the second argument instead.

source

Base.Dates.formatMethod

format(dt::TimeType, format::AbstractString; locale="english") -> AbstractString

Construct a string by using a TimeType object and applying the provided format. The following character codes can be used to construct the format string:

Code	Examples	Comment
y	6	Numeric year with a fixed width
Y	1996	Numeric year with a minimum width
m	1, 12	Numeric month with a minimum width
u	Jan	Month name shortened to 3-chars according to the locale
U	January	Full month name according to the locale keyword
d	1, 31	Day of the month with a minimum width
H	0, 23	Hour (24-hour clock) with a minimum width
M	0, 59	Minute with a minimum width
S	0, 59	Second with a minimum width
s	000, 500	Millisecond with a minimum width of 3
e	Mon, Tue	Abbreviated days of the week
E	Monday	Full day of week name

The number of sequential code characters indicate the width of the code. A format of yyyy-mm specifies that the code y should have a width of four while m a width of two. Codes that yield numeric digits have an associated mode: fixed-width or minimum-width. The fixed-width mode left-pads the value with zeros when it is shorter than the specified width and truncates the value when longer. Minimum-width mode works the same as fixed-width except that it does not truncate values longer than the width.

When creating a format you can use any non-code characters as a separator. For example to generate the string "1996-01-15T00:00:00" you could use format: "yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS". Note that if you need to use a code character as a literal you can use the escape character backslash. The string "1996y01m" can be produced with the format "yyyy\ymm\m".

source

Base.Dates.DateFormatType

DateFormat(format::AbstractString, locale="english") -> DateFormat

Construct a date formatting object that can be used for parsing date strings or formatting a date object as a string. The following character codes can be used to construct the format string:

Code	Matches	Comment
y	1996, 96	Returns year of 1996, 0096
Y	1996, 96	Returns year of 1996, 0096. Equivalent to y
m	1, 01	Matches 1 or 2-digit months
u	Jan	Matches abbreviated months according to the locale keyword
U	January	Matches full month names according to the locale keyword
d	1, 01	Matches 1 or 2-digit days
H	00	Matches hours
M	00	Matches minutes
S	00	Matches seconds
s	.500	Matches milliseconds
e	Mon, Tues	Matches abbreviated days of the week
E	Monday	Matches full name days of the week
yyyymmdd	19960101	Matches fixed-width year, month, and day

Characters not listed above are normally treated as delimiters between date and time slots. For example a dt string of "1996-01-15T00:00:00.0" would have a format string like "y-m-dTH:M:S.s". If you need to use a code character as a delimiter you can escape it using backslash. The date "1995y01m" would have the format "y\ym\m".

Creating a DateFormat object is expensive. Whenever possible, create it once and use it many times or try the dateformat"" string macro. Using this macro creates the DateFormat object once at macro expansion time and reuses it later. see @dateformat_str.

See DateTime and format for how to use a DateFormat object to parse and write Date strings respectively.

source

Base.Dates.@dateformat_strMacro

dateformat"Y-m-d H:M:S"

Create a DateFormat object. Similar to DateFormat("Y-m-d H:M:S") but creates the DateFormat object once during macro expansion.

See DateFormat for details about format specifiers.

source

Base.Dates.DateTimeMethod

Time(f::Function, h, mi, s, ms, us; step::Period=Nanosecond(1), limit::Int=10000)

Create a Time through the adjuster API. The starting point will be constructed from the provided h, mi, s, ms, us arguments, and will be adjusted until f::Function returns true. The step size in adjusting can be provided manually through the step keyword. limit provides a limit to the max number of iterations the adjustment API will pursue before throwing an error (in the case that f::Function is never satisfied). Note that the default step will adjust to allow for greater precision for the given arguments; i.e. if hour, minute, and second arguments are provided, the default step will be Millisecond(1) instead of Second(1).

source
