Description

Types and methods for time manipulation.

The most basic type for time representation is Elapsed, which represent a number of elapsed seconds since the unix epoch.

Every other defined types can be convert to and from Elapsed type:

timeGetElapsed (Date 1 2 3) :: Elapsed
timeFromElapsed 123         :: DateTime

Local time is represented by any other time types (Elapsed, Date, DateTime, ..), but augmented by a Timezone offset in minutes.

localTime (Date 2014 May 4) 600 -- local time at UTC+10 of May 4th 2014

Synopsis

Generic time classes

class Timeable t => Time t where

Represent time types that can be created from other time types.

Every conversion happens throught ElapsedP or Elapsed types.

Minimal complete definition

timeFromElapsedP

Methods

timeFromElapsedP :: ElapsedP -> t

convert from a number of elapsed seconds and nanoseconds to another time representation

timeFromElapsed :: Elapsed -> t

convert from a number of elapsed seconds and nanoseconds to another time representation

defaults to timeFromElapsedP unless defined explicitely by an instance.

Instances

class Timeable t where

Timeable represent every type that can be made to look like time types.

  • can be converted to ElapsedP and Elapsed
  • optionally have a timezone associated
  • have nanoseconds accessor (which can return 0 when the type is not more precise than seconds)

Minimal complete definition

timeGetElapsedP

Methods

timeGetElapsedP :: t -> ElapsedP

convert a time representation to the number of elapsed seconds and nanoseconds to a specific epoch

timeGetElapsed :: t -> Elapsed

convert a time representation to the number of elapsed seconds to a specific epoch.

defaults to timeGetElapsedP unless defined explicitely by an instance

timeGetNanoSeconds :: t -> NanoSeconds

return the number of optional nanoseconds.

If the underlaying type is not precise enough to record nanoseconds (or any variant between seconds and nanoseconds), 0 should be returned

defaults to timeGetElapsedP unless defined explicitely by an instance, for efficiency reason, it's a good idea to override this methods if you know the type is not more precise than Seconds.

Elapsed time

newtype Elapsed

A number of seconds elapsed since the unix epoch.

Constructors

Elapsed Seconds 

data ElapsedP

A number of seconds and nanoseconds elapsed since the unix epoch.

Constructors

ElapsedP !Elapsed !NanoSeconds 

Generic conversion

timeConvert :: (Timeable t1, Time t2) => t1 -> t2

Convert one time representation into another one

The return type need to be infer by the context.

If the context cannot be infer through this, some specialized functions are available for built-in types:

Date and Time

timeGetDate :: Timeable t => t -> Date

Get the calendar Date (year-month-day) from a time representation

specialization of timeConvert

timeGetDateTimeOfDay :: Timeable t => t -> DateTime

Get the date and time of day from a time representation

specialization of timeConvert

timeGetTimeOfDay :: Timeable t => t -> TimeOfDay

Get the day time (hours:minutes:seconds) from a time representation

specialization of timeConvert

Arithmetic

data Duration

An amount of time in terms of constant value like hours (3600 seconds), minutes (60 seconds), seconds and nanoseconds.

Constructors

Duration 

Fields

durationHours :: !Hours

number of hours

durationMinutes :: !Minutes

number of minutes

durationSeconds :: !Seconds

number of seconds

durationNs :: !NanoSeconds

number of nanoseconds

data Period

An amount of conceptual calendar time in terms of years, months and days.

This allow calendar manipulation, representing things like days and months irrespective on how long those are related to timezone and daylight changes.

See Duration for the time-based equivalent to this class.

Constructors

Period 

class TimeInterval i where

Represent any time interval that has an equivalent value to a number of seconds.

Methods

toSeconds :: i -> Seconds

fromSeconds :: Seconds -> (i, Seconds)

timeAdd :: (Time t, TimeInterval ti) => t -> ti -> t

add some time interval to a time representation and returns this new time representation

example:

t1 `timeAdd` mempty { durationHours = 12 }

timeDiff :: (Timeable t1, Timeable t2) => t1 -> t2 -> Seconds

Get the difference in seconds between two time representation

effectively:

t2 `timeDiff` t1 = t2 - t1

timeDiffP :: (Timeable t1, Timeable t2) => t1 -> t2 -> (Seconds, NanoSeconds)

Get the difference in seconds and nanoseconds between two time representation

effectively:

@t2 `timeDiffP` t1 = t2 - t1

dateAddPeriod :: Date -> Period -> Date

add a period of time to a date

Format methods

timePrint

Arguments

:: (TimeFormat format, Timeable t) 
=> format

the format to use for printing

-> t

the global time to print

-> String

the resulting string

Pretty print time to a string

The actual output is determined by the format used

timeParse :: TimeFormat format => format -> String -> Maybe DateTime

Just like localTimeParse but the time is automatically converted to global time.

timeParseE :: TimeFormat format => format -> String -> Either (TimeFormatElem, String) (DateTime, String)

like localTimeParseE but the time value is automatically converted to global time.

localTimePrint

Arguments

:: (TimeFormat format, Timeable t) 
=> format

the format to use for printing

-> LocalTime t

the local time to print

-> String

the resulting local time string

Pretty print local time to a string.

The actual output is determined by the format used.

localTimeParse

Arguments

:: TimeFormat format 
=> format

the format to use for parsing

-> String

the string to parse

-> Maybe (LocalTime DateTime) 

Try parsing a string as time using the format explicitely specified

Unparsed characters are ignored and the error handling is simplified

for more elaborate need use localTimeParseE.

:: TimeFormat format 
=> format

the format to use for parsing

-> String

the string to parse

-> Either (TimeFormatElem, String) (LocalTime DateTime, String)

Local time creation and manipulation

localTime :: Time t => TimezoneOffset -> t -> LocalTime t

Get back a global time value

localTimeFromGlobal :: Time t => t -> LocalTime t

create a local time value from a global one

localTimeGetTimezone :: LocalTime t -> TimezoneOffset

get the timezone associated with LocalTime

localTimeSetTimezone :: Time t => TimezoneOffset -> LocalTime t -> LocalTime t

Change the timezone, and adjust the local value to represent the new local value.

localTimeConvert :: (Time t1, Time t2) => LocalTime t1 -> LocalTime t2

convert the local time representation to another time representation determined by context.
