Date and time handling for Rust.
2016-01-23 05:33:20 +00:00
It aims to be a feature-complete superset of
the [time](https://github.com/rust-lang-deprecated/time) library.
In particular,
* Chrono strictly adheres to ISO 8601.
* Chrono is timezone-aware by default, with separate timezone-naive types.
* Chrono is space-optimal and (while not being the primary goal) reasonably efficient.
There were several previous attempts to bring a good date and time library to Rust,
2017-02-20 07:04:32 +00:00
which Chrono builds upon and should acknowledge:
2015-08-08 04:09:44 +00:00
* [Initial research on
the wiki](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-wiki-backup/blob/master/Lib-datetime.md)
* Dietrich Epp's [datetime-rs](https://github.com/depp/datetime-rs)
* Luis de Bethencourt's [rust-datetime](https://github.com/luisbg/rust-datetime)
2014-04-01 17:14:57 +00:00
Any significant changes to Chrono are documented in
the [`CHANGELOG.md`](https://github.com/chronotope/chrono/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) file.
## Usage
Put this in your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
chrono = "0.4"
```
Or, if you want [Serde](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde) or
[rustc-serialize](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustc-serialize) support,
include the features like this:
```toml
[dependencies]
chrono = { version = "0.4", features = ["serde", "rustc-serialize"] }
```
> Note that Chrono's support for rustc-serialize is now considered deprecated.
Starting from 0.4.0 there is no further guarantee that
the features available in Serde will be also available to rustc-serialize,
and the support can be removed in any future major version.
**Rustc-serialize users are strongly recommended to migrate to Serde.**
Then put this in your crate root:
2015-02-18 16:48:29 +00:00
```rust
extern crate chrono;
```
Avoid using `use chrono::*;` as Chrono exports several modules other than types.
If you prefer the glob imports, use the following instead:
```rust
use chrono::prelude::*;
```
## Overview
### Duration
Chrono currently uses
the [`time::Duration`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/time/time/struct.Duration.html) type
from the `time` crate to represent the magnitude of a time span.
Since this has the same name to the newer, standard type for duration,
the reference will refer this type as `OldDuration`.
Note that this is an "accurate" duration represented as seconds and
nanoseconds and does not represent "nominal" components such as days or
months.
Chrono does not yet natively support
the standard [`Duration`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/time/struct.Duration.html) type,
but it will be supported in the future.
Meanwhile you can convert between two types with
[`Duration::from_std`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/time/time/struct.Duration.html#method.from_std)
and
[`Duration::to_std`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/time/time/struct.Duration.html#method.to_std)
methods.
### Date and Time
Chrono provides a
Flattened intermediate implementation modules. There used to be multiple modules like `chrono::datetime` which only provide a single type `DateTime`. In retrospect, this module structure never reflected how people use those types; with the release of 0.3.0 `chrono::prelude` is a preferred way to glob-import types, and due to reexports `chrono::DateTime` and likes are also common enough. Therefore this commit removes those implementation modules and flattens the module structure. Specifically: Before After ---------------------------------- ---------------------------- chrono::date::Date chrono::Date chrono::date::MIN chrono::MIN_DATE chrono::date::MAX chrono::MAX_DATE chrono::datetime::DateTime chrono::DateTime chrono::datetime::TsSeconds chrono::TsSeconds chrono::datetime::serde::* chrono::serde::* chrono::naive::time::NaiveTime chrono::naive::NaiveTime chrono::naive::date::NaiveDate chrono::naive::NaiveDate chrono::naive::date::MIN chrono::naive::MIN_DATE chrono::naive::date::MAX chrono::naive::MAX_DATE chrono::naive::datetime::NaiveDateTime chrono::naive::NaiveDateTime chrono::naive::datetime::TsSeconds chrono::naive::TsSeconds chrono::naive::datetime::serde::* chrono::naive::serde::* chrono::offset::utc::UTC chrono::offset::UTC chrono::offset::fixed::FixedOffset chrono::offset::FixedOffset chrono::offset::local::Local chrono::offset::Local chrono::format::parsed::Parsed chrono::format::Parsed All internal documentation links have been updated (phew!) and verified with LinkChecker [1]. Probably we can automate this check in the future. [1] https://wummel.github.io/linkchecker/ Closes #161. Compared to the original proposal, `chrono::naive` is retained as we had `TsSeconds` types duplicated for `NaiveDateTime` and `DateTime` (legitimately).

[**`DateTime`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/struct.DateTime.html)
type to represent a date and a time in a timezone.
For more abstract moment-in-time tracking such as internal timekeeping
that is unconcerned with timezones, consider
[`time::SystemTime`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/time/struct.SystemTime.html),
which tracks your system clock, or
[`time::Instant`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/time/struct.Instant.html), which
is an opaque but monotonically-increasing representation of a moment in time.
`DateTime` is timezone-aware and must be constructed from
the [**`TimeZone`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/offset/trait.TimeZone.html) object,
which defines how the local date is converted to and back from the UTC date.
There are three well-known `TimeZone` implementations:
* [**`Utc`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/offset/struct.Utc.html) specifies the UTC time zone. It is most efficient.

2017-06-21 05:03:49 +00:00
* [**`Local`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/offset/struct.Local.html) specifies the system local time zone.
Flattened intermediate implementation modules. There used to be multiple modules like `chrono::datetime` which only provide a single type `DateTime`. In retrospect, this module structure never reflected how people use those types; with the release of 0.3.0 `chrono::prelude` is a preferred way to glob-import types, and due to reexports `chrono::DateTime` and likes are also common enough.

2017-06-21 05:03:49 +00:00
* [**`FixedOffset`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/offset/struct.FixedOffset.html) specifies
an arbitrary, fixed time zone such as UTC+09:00 or UTC-10:30.
This often results from the parsed textual date and time.
Since it stores the most information and does not depend on the system environment,
you would want to normalize other `TimeZone`s into this type.
`DateTime`s with different `TimeZone` types are distinct and do not mix,
but can be converted to each other using

or in the local time zone

([`Local::now()`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/offset/struct.Local.html#method.now)).
```rust
use chrono::prelude::*;
let utc: DateTime<Utc> = Utc::now(); // e.g. `2014-11-28T12:45:59.324310806Z`
let local: DateTime<Local> = Local::now(); // e.g. `2014-11-28T21:45:59.324310806+09:00`
```
Alternatively, you can create your own date and time.
This is a bit verbose due to Rust's lack of function and method overloading,
but in turn we get a rich combination of initialization methods.
```rust
use chrono::prelude::*;
use chrono::offset::LocalResult;
let dt = Utc.ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms(9, 10, 11); // `2014-07-08T09:10:11Z`
// July 8 is 188th day of the year 2014 (`o` for "ordinal")
assert_eq!(dt, Utc.yo(2014, 189).and_hms(9, 10, 11));
// July 8 is Tuesday in ISO week 28 of the year 2014.
assert_eq!(dt, Utc.isoywd(2014, 28, Weekday::Tue).and_hms(9, 10, 11));
let dt = Utc.ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_milli(9, 10, 11, 12); // `2014-07-08T09:10:11.012Z`
assert_eq!(dt, Utc.ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_micro(9, 10, 11, 12_000));
assert_eq!(dt, Utc.ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_nano(9, 10, 11, 12_000_000));
// dynamic verification
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd_opt(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_opt(21, 15, 33),
LocalResult::Single(Utc.ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms(21, 15, 33)));
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd_opt(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_opt(80, 15, 33), LocalResult::None);
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd_opt(2014, 7, 38).and_hms_opt(21, 15, 33), LocalResult::None);
// other time zone objects can be used to construct a local datetime.
// obviously, `local_dt` is normally different from `dt`, but `fixed_dt` should be identical.
let local_dt = Local.ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_milli(9, 10, 11, 12);
let fixed_dt = FixedOffset::east(9 * 3600).ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_milli(18, 10, 11, 12);
assert_eq!(dt, fixed_dt);
```
Various properties are available to the date and time, and can be altered individually.
Most of them are defined in the traits [`Datelike`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/trait.Datelike.html) and
[`Timelike`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/trait.Timelike.html) which you should `use` before.
Addition and subtraction is also supported.
The following illustrates most supported operations to the date and time:
```rust
use chrono::prelude::*;
use time::Duration;
// assume this returned `2014-11-28T21:45:59.324310806+09:00`:
let dt = Local::now();
// property accessors
assert_eq!((dt.year(), dt.month(), dt.day()), (2014, 11, 28));
assert_eq!((dt.month0(), dt.day0()), (10, 27)); // for unfortunate souls
assert_eq!((dt.hour(), dt.minute(), dt.second()), (21, 45, 59));
assert_eq!(dt.weekday(), Weekday::Fri);
assert_eq!(dt.weekday().number_from_monday(), 5); // Mon=1, ..., Sat=7
assert_eq!(dt.ordinal(), 332); // the day of year
assert_eq!(dt.num_days_from_ce(), 735565); // the number of days from and including Jan 1, 1
// time zone accessor and manipulation
assert_eq!(dt.offset().fix().local_minus_utc(), 9 * 3600);
assert_eq!(dt.timezone(), FixedOffset::east(9 * 3600));
assert_eq!(dt.with_timezone(&Utc), Utc.ymd(2014, 11, 28).and_hms_nano(12, 45, 59, 324310806));
// a sample of property manipulations (validates dynamically)
assert_eq!(dt.with_day(29).unwrap().weekday(), Weekday::Sat); // 2014-11-29 is Saturday
assert_eq!(dt.with_day(32), None);
assert_eq!(dt.with_year(-300).unwrap().num_days_from_ce(), -109606); // November 29, 301 BCE
// arithmetic operations
let dt1 = Utc.ymd(2014, 11, 14).and_hms(8, 9, 10);
let dt2 = Utc.ymd(2014, 11, 14).and_hms(10, 9, 8);
assert_eq!(dt1.signed_duration_since(dt2), Duration::seconds(-2 * 3600 + 2));
assert_eq!(dt2.signed_duration_since(dt1), Duration::seconds(2 * 3600 - 2));
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd(1970, 1, 1).and_hms(0, 0, 0) + Duration::seconds(1_000_000_000),
Utc.ymd(2001, 9, 9).and_hms(1, 46, 40));
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd(1970, 1, 1).and_hms(0, 0, 0) - Duration::seconds(1_000_000_000),
Utc.ymd(1938, 4, 24).and_hms(22, 13, 20));

Formatting is done via the [`format`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.format) method,
which format is equivalent to the familiar `strftime` format.
(See the [`format::strftime` module documentation](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/format/strftime/index.html#specifiers)
for full syntax.)
The default `to_string` method and `{:?}` specifier also give a reasonable representation.

2017-06-21 05:03:49 +00:00
Chrono also provides [`to_rfc2822`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.to_rfc2822) and
[`to_rfc3339`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.to_rfc3339) methods
for well-known formats.
```rust

assert_eq!(dt.format("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S").to_string(), "2014-11-28 12:00:09");

Parsing can be done with three methods:
1. The standard [`FromStr`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/str/trait.FromStr.html) trait
(and [`parse`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.str.html#method.parse) method
on a string) can be used for parsing `DateTime<FixedOffset>`, `DateTime<Utc>` and
`DateTime<Local>` values. This parses what the `{:?}`
([`std::fmt::Debug`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/trait.Debug.html))
format specifier prints, and requires the offset to be present.

2. [`DateTime::parse_from_str`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.parse_from_str) parses
a date and time with offsets and returns `DateTime<FixedOffset>`.

[`DateTime::parse_from_rfc3339`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.parse_from_rfc3339)
are similar but for well-known formats.
3. [`Offset::datetime_from_str`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/offset/trait.TimeZone.html#method.datetime_from_str) is
similar but returns `DateTime` of given offset.
2015-02-18 16:48:29 +00:00
When the explicit offset is missing from the input, it simply uses given offset.
2016-01-23 05:33:20 +00:00
It issues an error when the input contains an explicit offset different
from the current offset.
More detailed control over the parsing process is available via
[`format`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/format/index.html) module.

Chrono also provides an individual date type ([**`Date`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/struct.Date.html)).
It also has time zones attached, and have to be constructed via time zones.
Most operations available to `DateTime` are also available to `Date` whenever appropriate.
```rust
use chrono::prelude::*;
use chrono::offset::LocalResult;
assert_eq!(Utc::today(), Utc::now().date());
assert_eq!(Local::today(), Local::now().date());
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd(2014, 11, 28).weekday(), Weekday::Fri);
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd_opt(2014, 11, 31), LocalResult::None);
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd(2014, 11, 28).and_hms_milli(7, 8, 9, 10).format("%H%M%S").to_string(),
"070809");
```
There is no timezone-aware `Time` due to the lack of usefulness and also the complexity.

There is also a [`time`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.time) method,
which simply returns a naive local time described below.

Chrono doesn't try to make use of them](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.0/chrono/naive/struct.NaiveTime.html#leap-second-handling).
(The main reason is that leap seconds are not really predictable.)
Almost *every* operation over the possible leap seconds will ignore them.
2016-01-23 05:33:20 +00:00
Consider using `NaiveDateTime` with the implicit TAI (International Atomic Time) scale
if you want.
Chrono inherently does not support an inaccurate or partial date and time representation.
Any operation that can be ambiguous will return `None` in such cases.
For example, "a month later" of 2014-01-30 is not well-defined
and consequently `Utc.ymd(2014, 1, 30).with_month(2)` returns `None`.
Advanced time zone handling is not yet supported.
For now you can try the [Chrono-tz](https://github.com/chronotope/chrono-tz/) crate instead.
