Dates
The Dates
module provides two types for working with dates: Date
and DateTime
, representing day and millisecond precision, respectively; both are subtypes of the abstract TimeType
. The motivation for distinct types is simple: some operations are much simpler, both in terms of code and mental reasoning, when the complexities of greater precision don't have to be dealt with. For example, since the Date
type only resolves to the precision of a single date (i.e. no hours, minutes, or seconds), normal considerations for time zones, daylight savings/summer time, and leap seconds are unnecessary and avoided.
Both Date
and DateTime
are basically immutable Int64
wrappers. The single instant
field of either type is actually a UTInstant{P}
type, which represents a continuously increasing machine timeline based on the UT second [1]. The DateTime
type is not aware of time zones (naive, in Python parlance), analogous to a LocalDateTime in Java 8. Additional time zone functionality can be added through the TimeZones.jl package, which compiles the IANA time zone database. Both Date
and DateTime
are based on the ISO 8601 standard, which follows the proleptic Gregorian calendar. One note is that the ISO 8601 standard is particular about BC/BCE dates. In general, the last day of the BC/BCE era, 1-12-31 BC/BCE, was followed by 1-1-1 AD/CE, thus no year zero exists. The ISO standard, however, states that 1 BC/BCE is year zero, so 0000-12-31
is the day before 0001-01-01
, and year -0001
(yes, negative one for the year) is 2 BC/BCE, year -0002
is 3 BC/BCE, etc.
The notion of the UT second is actually quite fundamental. There are basically two different notions of time generally accepted, one based on the physical rotation of the earth (one full rotation = 1 day), the other based on the SI second (a fixed, constant value). These are radically different! Think about it, a "UT second", as defined relative to the rotation of the earth, may have a different absolute length depending on the day! Anyway, the fact that Date
and DateTime
are based on UT seconds is a simplifying, yet honest assumption so that things like leap seconds and all their complexity can be avoided. This basis of time is formally called UT or UT1. Basing types on the UT second basically means that every minute has 60 seconds and every day has 24 hours and leads to more natural calculations when working with calendar dates.
Constructors
Date
and DateTime
types can be constructed by integer or Period
types, by parsing, or through adjusters (more on those later):
julia> DateTime(2013) 2013-01-01T00:00:00 julia> DateTime(2013,7) 2013-07-01T00:00:00 julia> DateTime(2013,7,1) 2013-07-01T00:00:00 julia> DateTime(2013,7,1,12) 2013-07-01T12:00:00 julia> DateTime(2013,7,1,12,30) 2013-07-01T12:30:00 julia> DateTime(2013,7,1,12,30,59) 2013-07-01T12:30:59 julia> DateTime(2013,7,1,12,30,59,1) 2013-07-01T12:30:59.001 julia> Date(2013) 2013-01-01 julia> Date(2013,7) 2013-07-01 julia> Date(2013,7,1) 2013-07-01 julia> Date(Dates.Year(2013),Dates.Month(7),Dates.Day(1)) 2013-07-01 julia> Date(Dates.Month(7),Dates.Year(2013)) 2013-07-01
Date
or DateTime
parsing is accomplished by the use of format strings. Format strings work by the notion of defining delimited or fixed-width "slots" that contain a period to parse and passing the text to parse and format string to a Date
or DateTime
constructor, of the form Date("2015-01-01","y-m-d")
or DateTime("20150101","yyyymmdd")
.
Delimited slots are marked by specifying the delimiter the parser should expect between two subsequent periods; so "y-m-d"
lets the parser know that between the first and second slots in a date string like "2014-07-16"
, it should find the -
character. The y
, m
, and d
characters let the parser know which periods to parse in each slot.
Fixed-width slots are specified by repeating the period character the number of times corresponding to the width with no delimiter between characters. So "yyyymmdd"
would correspond to a date string like "20140716"
. The parser distinguishes a fixed-width slot by the absence of a delimiter, noting the transition "yyyymm"
from one period character to the next.
Support for text-form month parsing is also supported through the u
and U
characters, for abbreviated and full-length month names, respectively. By default, only English month names are supported, so u
corresponds to "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", etc. And U
corresponds to "January", "February", "March", etc. Similar to other name=>value mapping functions dayname
and monthname
, custom locales can be loaded by passing in the locale=>Dict{String,Int}
mapping to the MONTHTOVALUEABBR
and MONTHTOVALUE
dicts for abbreviated and full-name month names, respectively.
One note on parsing performance: using the Date(date_string,format_string)
function is fine if only called a few times. If there are many similarly formatted date strings to parse however, it is much more efficient to first create a Dates.DateFormat
, and pass it instead of a raw format string.
julia> df = DateFormat("y-m-d"); julia> dt = Date("2015-01-01",df) 2015-01-01 julia> dt2 = Date("2015-01-02",df) 2015-01-02
You can also use the dateformat""
string macro. This macro creates the DateFormat
object once when the macro is expanded and uses the same DateFormat
object even if a code snippet is run multiple times.
julia> for i = 1:10^5 Date("2015-01-01", dateformat"y-m-d") end
A full suite of parsing and formatting tests and examples is available in stdlib/Dates/test/io.jl
.
Durations/Comparisons
Finding the length of time between two Date
or DateTime
is straightforward given their underlying representation as UTInstant{Day}
and UTInstant{Millisecond}
, respectively. The difference between Date
is returned in the number of Day
, and DateTime
in the number of Millisecond
. Similarly, comparing TimeType
is a simple matter of comparing the underlying machine instants (which in turn compares the internal Int64
values).
julia> dt = Date(2012,2,29) 2012-02-29 julia> dt2 = Date(2000,2,1) 2000-02-01 julia> dump(dt) Date instant: Dates.UTInstant{Day} periods: Day value: Int64 734562 julia> dump(dt2) Date instant: Dates.UTInstant{Day} periods: Day value: Int64 730151 julia> dt > dt2 true julia> dt != dt2 true julia> dt + dt2 ERROR: MethodError: no method matching +(::Date, ::Date) [...] julia> dt * dt2 ERROR: MethodError: no method matching *(::Date, ::Date) [...] julia> dt / dt2 ERROR: MethodError: no method matching /(::Date, ::Date) julia> dt - dt2 4411 days julia> dt2 - dt -4411 days julia> dt = DateTime(2012,2,29) 2012-02-29T00:00:00 julia> dt2 = DateTime(2000,2,1) 2000-02-01T00:00:00 julia> dt - dt2 381110400000 milliseconds
Accessor Functions
Because the Date
and DateTime
types are stored as single Int64
values, date parts or fields can be retrieved through accessor functions. The lowercase accessors return the field as an integer:
julia> t = Date(2014, 1, 31) 2014-01-31 julia> Dates.year(t) 2014 julia> Dates.month(t) 1 julia> Dates.week(t) 5 julia> Dates.day(t) 31
While propercase return the same value in the corresponding Period
type:
julia> Dates.Year(t) 2014 years julia> Dates.Day(t) 31 days
Compound methods are provided, as they provide a measure of efficiency if multiple fields are needed at the same time:
julia> Dates.yearmonth(t) (2014, 1) julia> Dates.monthday(t) (1, 31) julia> Dates.yearmonthday(t) (2014, 1, 31)
One may also access the underlying UTInstant
or integer value:
julia> dump(t) Date instant: Dates.UTInstant{Day} periods: Day value: Int64 735264 julia> t.instant Dates.UTInstant{Day}(735264 days) julia> Dates.value(t) 735264
Query Functions
Query functions provide calendrical information about a TimeType
. They include information about the day of the week:
julia> t = Date(2014, 1, 31) 2014-01-31 julia> Dates.dayofweek(t) 5 julia> Dates.dayname(t) "Friday" julia> Dates.dayofweekofmonth(t) # 5th Friday of January 5
Month of the year:
julia> Dates.monthname(t) "January" julia> Dates.daysinmonth(t) 31
As well as information about the TimeType
's year and quarter:
julia> Dates.isleapyear(t) false julia> Dates.dayofyear(t) 31 julia> Dates.quarterofyear(t) 1 julia> Dates.dayofquarter(t) 31
The dayname
and monthname
methods can also take an optional locale
keyword that can be used to return the name of the day or month of the year for other languages/locales. There are also versions of these functions returning the abbreviated names, namely dayabbr
and monthabbr
. First the mapping is loaded into the LOCALES
variable:
julia> french_months = ["janvier", "février", "mars", "avril", "mai", "juin", "juillet", "août", "septembre", "octobre", "novembre", "décembre"]; julia> french_monts_abbrev = ["janv","févr","mars","avril","mai","juin", "juil","août","sept","oct","nov","déc"]; julia> french_days = ["lundi","mardi","mercredi","jeudi","vendredi","samedi","dimanche"]; julia> Dates.LOCALES["french"] = Dates.DateLocale(french_months, french_monts_abbrev, french_days, [""]);
The above mentioned functions can then be used to perform the queries:
julia> Dates.dayname(t;locale="french") "vendredi" julia> Dates.monthname(t;locale="french") "janvier" julia> Dates.monthabbr(t;locale="french") "janv"
Since the abbreviated versions of the days are not loaded, trying to use the function dayabbr
will error.
julia> Dates.dayabbr(t;locale="french") ERROR: BoundsError: attempt to access 1-element Array{String,1} at index [5] Stacktrace: [...]
TimeType-Period Arithmetic
It's good practice when using any language/date framework to be familiar with how date-period arithmetic is handled as there are some tricky issues to deal with (though much less so for day-precision types).
The Dates
module approach tries to follow the simple principle of trying to change as little as possible when doing Period
arithmetic. This approach is also often known as calendrical arithmetic or what you would probably guess if someone were to ask you the same calculation in a conversation. Why all the fuss about this? Let's take a classic example: add 1 month to January 31st, 2014. What's the answer? Javascript will say March 3 (assumes 31 days). PHP says March 2 (assumes 30 days). The fact is, there is no right answer. In the Dates
module, it gives the result of February 28th. How does it figure that out? I like to think of the classic 7-7-7 gambling game in casinos.
Now just imagine that instead of 7-7-7, the slots are Year-Month-Day, or in our example, 2014-01-31. When you ask to add 1 month to this date, the month slot is incremented, so now we have 2014-02-31. Then the day number is checked if it is greater than the last valid day of the new month; if it is (as in the case above), the day number is adjusted down to the last valid day (28). What are the ramifications with this approach? Go ahead and add another month to our date, 2014-02-28 + Month(1) == 2014-03-28
. What? Were you expecting the last day of March? Nope, sorry, remember the 7-7-7 slots. As few slots as possible are going to change, so we first increment the month slot by 1, 2014-03-28, and boom, we're done because that's a valid date. On the other hand, if we were to add 2 months to our original date, 2014-01-31, then we end up with 2014-03-31, as expected. The other ramification of this approach is a loss in associativity when a specific ordering is forced (i.e. adding things in different orders results in different outcomes). For example:
julia> (Date(2014,1,29)+Dates.Day(1)) + Dates.Month(1) 2014-02-28 julia> (Date(2014,1,29)+Dates.Month(1)) + Dates.Day(1) 2014-03-01
What's going on there? In the first line, we're adding 1 day to January 29th, which results in 2014-01-30; then we add 1 month, so we get 2014-02-30, which then adjusts down to 2014-02-28. In the second example, we add 1 month first, where we get 2014-02-29, which adjusts down to 2014-02-28, and then add 1 day, which results in 2014-03-01. One design principle that helps in this case is that, in the presence of multiple Periods, the operations will be ordered by the Periods' types, not their value or positional order; this means Year
will always be added first, then Month
, then Week
, etc. Hence the following does result in associativity and Just Works:
julia> Date(2014,1,29) + Dates.Day(1) + Dates.Month(1) 2014-03-01 julia> Date(2014,1,29) + Dates.Month(1) + Dates.Day(1) 2014-03-01
Tricky? Perhaps. What is an innocent Dates
user to do? The bottom line is to be aware that explicitly forcing a certain associativity, when dealing with months, may lead to some unexpected results, but otherwise, everything should work as expected. Thankfully, that's pretty much the extent of the odd cases in date-period arithmetic when dealing with time in UT (avoiding the "joys" of dealing with daylight savings, leap seconds, etc.).
As a bonus, all period arithmetic objects work directly with ranges:
julia> dr = Date(2014,1,29):Day(1):Date(2014,2,3) 2014-01-29:1 day:2014-02-03 julia> collect(dr) 6-element Array{Date,1}: 2014-01-29 2014-01-30 2014-01-31 2014-02-01 2014-02-02 2014-02-03 julia> dr = Date(2014,1,29):Dates.Month(1):Date(2014,07,29) 2014-01-29:1 month:2014-07-29 julia> collect(dr) 7-element Array{Date,1}: 2014-01-29 2014-02-28 2014-03-29 2014-04-29 2014-05-29 2014-06-29 2014-07-29
Adjuster Functions
As convenient as date-period arithmetic is, often the kinds of calculations needed on dates take on a calendrical or temporal nature rather than a fixed number of periods. Holidays are a perfect example; most follow rules such as "Memorial Day = Last Monday of May", or "Thanksgiving = 4th Thursday of November". These kinds of temporal expressions deal with rules relative to the calendar, like first or last of the month, next Tuesday, or the first and third Wednesdays, etc.
The Dates
module provides the adjuster API through several convenient methods that aid in simply and succinctly expressing temporal rules. The first group of adjuster methods deal with the first and last of weeks, months, quarters, and years. They each take a single TimeType
as input and return or adjust to the first or last of the desired period relative to the input.
julia> Dates.firstdayofweek(Date(2014,7,16)) # Adjusts the input to the Monday of the input's week 2014-07-14 julia> Dates.lastdayofmonth(Date(2014,7,16)) # Adjusts to the last day of the input's month 2014-07-31 julia> Dates.lastdayofquarter(Date(2014,7,16)) # Adjusts to the last day of the input's quarter 2014-09-30
The next two higher-order methods, tonext
, and toprev
, generalize working with temporal expressions by taking a DateFunction
as first argument, along with a starting TimeType
. A DateFunction
is just a function, usually anonymous, that takes a single TimeType
as input and returns a Bool
, true
indicating a satisfied adjustment criterion. For example:
julia> istuesday = x->Dates.dayofweek(x) == Dates.Tuesday; # Returns true if the day of the week of x is Tuesday julia> Dates.tonext(istuesday, Date(2014,7,13)) # 2014-07-13 is a Sunday 2014-07-15 julia> Dates.tonext(Date(2014,7,13), Dates.Tuesday) # Convenience method provided for day of the week adjustments 2014-07-15
This is useful with the do-block syntax for more complex temporal expressions:
julia> Dates.tonext(Date(2014,7,13)) do x # Return true on the 4th Thursday of November (Thanksgiving) Dates.dayofweek(x) == Dates.Thursday && Dates.dayofweekofmonth(x) == 4 && Dates.month(x) == Dates.November end 2014-11-27
The Base.filter
method can be used to obtain all valid dates/moments in a specified range:
# Pittsburgh street cleaning; Every 2nd Tuesday from April to November # Date range from January 1st, 2014 to January 1st, 2015 julia> dr = Dates.Date(2014):Day(1):Dates.Date(2015); julia> filter(dr) do x Dates.dayofweek(x) == Dates.Tue && Dates.April <= Dates.month(x) <= Dates.Nov && Dates.dayofweekofmonth(x) == 2 end 8-element Array{Date,1}: 2014-04-08 2014-05-13 2014-06-10 2014-07-08 2014-08-12 2014-09-09 2014-10-14 2014-11-11
Additional examples and tests are available in stdlib/Dates/test/adjusters.jl
.
Period Types
Periods are a human view of discrete, sometimes irregular durations of time. Consider 1 month; it could represent, in days, a value of 28, 29, 30, or 31 depending on the year and month context. Or a year could represent 365 or 366 days in the case of a leap year. Period
types are simple Int64
wrappers and are constructed by wrapping any Int64
convertible type, i.e. Year(1)
or Month(3.0)
. Arithmetic between Period
of the same type behave like integers, and limited Period-Real
arithmetic is available. You can extract the underlying integer with Dates.value
.
julia> y1 = Dates.Year(1) 1 year julia> y2 = Dates.Year(2) 2 years julia> y3 = Dates.Year(10) 10 years julia> y1 + y2 3 years julia> div(y3,y2) 5 julia> y3 - y2 8 years julia> y3 % y2 0 years julia> div(y3,3) # mirrors integer division 3 years julia> Dates.value(Dates.Millisecond(10)) 10
Rounding
Date
and DateTime
values can be rounded to a specified resolution (e.g., 1 month or 15 minutes) with floor
, ceil
, or round
:
julia> floor(Date(1985, 8, 16), Dates.Month) 1985-08-01 julia> ceil(DateTime(2013, 2, 13, 0, 31, 20), Dates.Minute(15)) 2013-02-13T00:45:00 julia> round(DateTime(2016, 8, 6, 20, 15), Dates.Day) 2016-08-07T00:00:00
Unlike the numeric round
method, which breaks ties toward the even number by default, the TimeType
round
method uses the RoundNearestTiesUp
rounding mode. (It's difficult to guess what breaking ties to nearest "even" TimeType
would entail.) Further details on the available RoundingMode
s can be found in the API reference.
Rounding should generally behave as expected, but there are a few cases in which the expected behaviour is not obvious.
Rounding Epoch
In many cases, the resolution specified for rounding (e.g., Dates.Second(30)
) divides evenly into the next largest period (in this case, Dates.Minute(1)
). But rounding behaviour in cases in which this is not true may lead to confusion. What is the expected result of rounding a DateTime
to the nearest 10 hours?
julia> round(DateTime(2016, 7, 17, 11, 55), Dates.Hour(10)) 2016-07-17T12:00:00
That may seem confusing, given that the hour (12) is not divisible by 10. The reason that 2016-07-17T12:00:00
was chosen is that it is 17,676,660 hours after 0000-01-01T00:00:00
, and 17,676,660 is divisible by 10.
As Julia Date
and DateTime
values are represented according to the ISO 8601 standard, 0000-01-01T00:00:00
was chosen as base (or "rounding epoch") from which to begin the count of days (and milliseconds) used in rounding calculations. (Note that this differs slightly from Julia's internal representation of Date
s using Rata Die notation; but since the ISO 8601 standard is most visible to the end user, 0000-01-01T00:00:00
was chosen as the rounding epoch instead of the 0000-12-31T00:00:00
used internally to minimize confusion.)
The only exception to the use of 0000-01-01T00:00:00
as the rounding epoch is when rounding to weeks. Rounding to the nearest week will always return a Monday (the first day of the week as specified by ISO 8601). For this reason, we use 0000-01-03T00:00:00
(the first day of the first week of year 0000, as defined by ISO 8601) as the base when rounding to a number of weeks.
Here is a related case in which the expected behaviour is not necessarily obvious: What happens when we round to the nearest P(2)
, where P
is a Period
type? In some cases (specifically, when P <: Dates.TimePeriod
) the answer is clear:
julia> round(DateTime(2016, 7, 17, 8, 55, 30), Dates.Hour(2)) 2016-07-17T08:00:00 julia> round(DateTime(2016, 7, 17, 8, 55, 30), Dates.Minute(2)) 2016-07-17T08:56:00
This seems obvious, because two of each of these periods still divides evenly into the next larger order period. But in the case of two months (which still divides evenly into one year), the answer may be surprising:
julia> round(DateTime(2016, 7, 17, 8, 55, 30), Dates.Month(2)) 2016-07-01T00:00:00
Why round to the first day in July, even though it is month 7 (an odd number)? The key is that months are 1-indexed (the first month is assigned 1), unlike hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds (the first of which are assigned 0).
This means that rounding a DateTime
to an even multiple of seconds, minutes, hours, or years (because the ISO 8601 specification includes a year zero) will result in a DateTime
with an even value in that field, while rounding a DateTime
to an even multiple of months will result in the months field having an odd value. Because both months and years may contain an irregular number of days, whether rounding to an even number of days will result in an even value in the days field is uncertain.
See the API reference for additional information on methods exported from the Dates
module.

Dates and Time Types
Dates.Period
Type
Period Year Month Week Day Hour Minute Second Millisecond Microsecond Nanosecond
Period
types represent discrete, human representations of time.
Dates.CompoundPeriod
Type
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.
Dates.Instant
Type
Instant
Instant
types represent integer-based, machine representations of time as continuous timelines starting from an epoch.
Dates.UTInstant
Type
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.
Dates.TimeType
Type
TimeType
TimeType
types wrap Instant
machine instances to provide human representations of the machine instant. Time
, DateTime
and Date
are subtypes of TimeType
.
Dates.DateTime
Type
DateTime
DateTime
wraps a UTInstant{Millisecond}
and interprets it according to the proleptic Gregorian calendar.
Dates.Date
Type
Date
Date
wraps a UTInstant{Day}
and interprets it according to the proleptic Gregorian calendar.
Dates.Time
Type
Time
Time
wraps a Nanosecond
and represents a specific moment in a 24-hour day.
Dates Functions
Dates.DateTime
Method
DateTime(y, [m, d, h, mi, s, ms]) -> DateTime
Construct a DateTime
type by parts. Arguments must be convertible to Int64
.
Dates.DateTime
Method
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)
.
Dates.DateTime
Method
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).
Examples
julia> DateTime(dt -> Dates.second(dt) == 40, 2010, 10, 20, 10; step = Dates.Second(1)) 2010-10-20T10:00:40 julia> DateTime(dt -> Dates.hour(dt) == 20, 2010, 10, 20, 10; step = Dates.Hour(1), limit = 5) ERROR: ArgumentError: Adjustment limit reached: 5 iterations Stacktrace: [...]source
Dates.DateTime
Method
DateTime(dt::Date) -> DateTime
Convert a Date
to a DateTime
. The hour, minute, second, and millisecond parts of the new DateTime
are assumed to be zero.
Dates.DateTime
Method
DateTime(dt::AbstractString, format::AbstractString; locale="english") -> DateTime
Construct a DateTime
by parsing the dt
date time 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 time strings of the same format, consider creating a DateFormat
object once and using that as the second argument instead.
Dates.format
Function
format(io::IO, tok::AbstractDateToken, dt::TimeType, locale)
Format the tok
token from dt
and write it to io
. The formatting can be based on locale
.
All subtypes of AbstractDateToken
must define this method in order to be able to print a Date / DateTime object according to a DateFormat
containing that token.
Dates.DateFormat
Type
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 |

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.
Dates.@dateformat_str
Macro
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.
Dates.DateTime
Method
DateTime(dt::AbstractString, df::DateFormat) -> DateTime
Construct a DateTime
by parsing the dt
date time string following the pattern given in the DateFormat
object. Similar to DateTime(::AbstractString, ::AbstractString)
but more efficient when repeatedly parsing similarly formatted date time strings with a pre-created DateFormat
object.
Dates.Date
Method
Date(y, [m, d]) -> Date
Construct a Date
type by parts. Arguments must be convertible to Int64
.
Dates.Date
Method
Date(period::Period...) -> Date
Construct a Date
type by Period
type parts. Arguments may be in any order. Date
parts not provided will default to the value of Dates.default(period)
.
Dates.Date
Method
Date(f::Function, y[, m, d]; step=Day(1), limit=10000) -> Date
Create a Date
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 (given that f::Function
is never satisfied).
Examples
julia> Date(date -> Dates.week(date) == 20, 2010, 01, 01) 2010-05-17 julia> Date(date -> Dates.year(date) == 2010, 2000, 01, 01) 2010-01-01 julia> Date(date -> Dates.month(date) == 10, 2000, 01, 01; limit = 5) ERROR: ArgumentError: Adjustment limit reached: 5 iterations Stacktrace: [...]source
Dates.Date
Method
Date(dt::DateTime) -> Date

Dates.Date
Method
Date(d::AbstractString, format::AbstractString; locale="english") -> Date
Construct a Date
by parsing the d
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.
Dates.Date
Method
Date(d::AbstractString, df::DateFormat) -> Date
Parse a date from a date string d
using a DateFormat
object df
.
Dates.Time
Method
Time(h, [mi, s, ms, us, ns]) -> Time

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)
.
Examples
julia> Dates.Time(t -> Dates.minute(t) == 30, 20) 20:30:00 julia> Dates.Time(t -> Dates.minute(t) == 0, 20) 20:00:00 julia> Dates.Time(t -> Dates.hour(t) == 10, 3; limit = 5) ERROR: ArgumentError: Adjustment limit reached: 5 iterations Stacktrace: [...]source
Dates.Time
Method
Time(dt::DateTime) -> Time
