@spec add(
  Calendar.naive_datetime(),
  integer(),
  :day | :hour | :minute | System.time_unit()
) :: t()

Adds a specified amount of time to a NaiveDateTime.

Accepts an amount_to_add in any unit. unit can be :day, :hour, :minute, :second or any subsecond precision from System.time_unit/0. It defaults to :second. Negative values will move backwards in time.

This function always consider the unit to be computed according to the Calendar.ISO.

Examples

It uses seconds by default:

# adds seconds by default
iex> NaiveDateTime.add(~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10], 2)
~N[2014-10-02 00:29:12]

# accepts negative offsets
iex> NaiveDateTime.add(~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10], -2)
~N[2014-10-02 00:29:08]

It can also work with subsecond precisions:

iex> NaiveDateTime.add(~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10], 2_000, :millisecond)
~N[2014-10-02 00:29:12]

As well as days/hours/minutes:

iex> NaiveDateTime.add(~N[2015-02-28 00:29:10], 2, :day)
~N[2015-03-02 00:29:10]
iex> NaiveDateTime.add(~N[2015-02-28 00:29:10], 36, :hour)
~N[2015-03-01 12:29:10]
iex> NaiveDateTime.add(~N[2015-02-28 00:29:10], 60, :minute)
~N[2015-02-28 01:29:10]

This operation keeps the precision of the naive date time:

iex> NaiveDateTime.add(~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10.021], 21, :second)
~N[2014-10-02 00:29:31.021]

And ignores any changes below the precision:

iex> hidden = NaiveDateTime.add(~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10], 21, :millisecond)
iex> hidden.microsecond # ~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10]
{21000, 0}

Operations on top of gregorian seconds or the Unix epoch are optimized:

# from Gregorian seconds
iex> NaiveDateTime.add(~N[0000-01-01 00:00:00], 63_579_428_950)
~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10]

Passing a DateTime automatically converts it to NaiveDateTime, discarding the time zone information:

iex> dt = %DateTime{year: 2000, month: 2, day: 29, zone_abbr: "CET",
...>                hour: 23, minute: 0, second: 7, microsecond: {0, 0},
...>                utc_offset: 3600, std_offset: 0, time_zone: "Europe/Warsaw"}
iex> NaiveDateTime.add(dt, 21, :second)
~N[2000-02-29 23:00:28]

@spec compare(Calendar.naive_datetime(), Calendar.naive_datetime()) :: :lt | :eq | :gt

Compares two NaiveDateTime structs.

Returns :gt if first is later than the second and :lt for vice versa. If the two NaiveDateTime are equal :eq is returned.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.compare(~N[2016-04-16 13:30:15], ~N[2016-04-28 16:19:25])
:lt
iex> NaiveDateTime.compare(~N[2016-04-16 13:30:15.1], ~N[2016-04-16 13:30:15.01])
:gt

This function can also be used to compare a DateTime without the time zone information:

iex> dt = %DateTime{year: 2000, month: 2, day: 29, zone_abbr: "CET",
...>                hour: 23, minute: 0, second: 7, microsecond: {0, 0},
...>                utc_offset: 3600, std_offset: 0, time_zone: "Europe/Warsaw"}
iex> NaiveDateTime.compare(dt, ~N[2000-02-29 23:00:07])
:eq
iex> NaiveDateTime.compare(dt, ~N[2000-01-29 23:00:07])
:gt
iex> NaiveDateTime.compare(dt, ~N[2000-03-29 23:00:07])
:lt

@spec convert(Calendar.naive_datetime(), Calendar.calendar()) ::
  {:ok, t()} | {:error, :incompatible_calendars}

Converts the given naive_datetime from one calendar to another.

If it is not possible to convert unambiguously between the calendars (see Calendar.compatible_calendars?/2), an {:error, :incompatible_calendars} tuple is returned.

Examples

Imagine someone implements Calendar.Holocene, a calendar based on the Gregorian calendar that adds exactly 10,000 years to the current Gregorian year:

iex> NaiveDateTime.convert(~N[2000-01-01 13:30:15], Calendar.Holocene)
{:ok, %NaiveDateTime{calendar: Calendar.Holocene, year: 12000, month: 1, day: 1,
                     hour: 13, minute: 30, second: 15, microsecond: {0, 0}}}

@spec convert!(Calendar.naive_datetime(), Calendar.calendar()) :: t()

Converts the given naive_datetime from one calendar to another.

If it is not possible to convert unambiguously between the calendars (see Calendar.compatible_calendars?/2), an ArgumentError is raised.

Examples

Imagine someone implements Calendar.Holocene, a calendar based on the Gregorian calendar that adds exactly 10,000 years to the current Gregorian year:

iex> NaiveDateTime.convert!(~N[2000-01-01 13:30:15], Calendar.Holocene)
%NaiveDateTime{calendar: Calendar.Holocene, year: 12000, month: 1, day: 1,
               hour: 13, minute: 30, second: 15, microsecond: {0, 0}}

@spec diff(
  Calendar.naive_datetime(),
  Calendar.naive_datetime(),
  :day | :hour | :minute | System.time_unit()
) :: integer()

Subtracts naive_datetime2 from naive_datetime1.

The answer can be returned in any :day, :hour, :minute, or any unit available from System.time_unit/0. The unit is measured according to Calendar.ISO and defaults to :second.

Fractional results are not supported and are truncated.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.diff(~N[2014-10-02 00:29:12], ~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10])
2
iex> NaiveDateTime.diff(~N[2014-10-02 00:29:12], ~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10], :microsecond)
2_000_000

iex> NaiveDateTime.diff(~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10.042], ~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10.021])
0
iex> NaiveDateTime.diff(~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10.042], ~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10.021], :millisecond)
21

iex> NaiveDateTime.diff(~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10], ~N[2014-10-02 00:29:12])
-2
iex> NaiveDateTime.diff(~N[-0001-10-02 00:29:10], ~N[-0001-10-02 00:29:12])
-2

It can also compute the difference in days, hours, or minutes:

iex> NaiveDateTime.diff(~N[2014-10-10 00:29:10], ~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10], :day)
8
iex> NaiveDateTime.diff(~N[2014-10-02 12:29:10], ~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10], :hour)
12
iex> NaiveDateTime.diff(~N[2014-10-02 00:39:10], ~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10], :minute)
10

But it also rounds incomplete days to zero:

iex> NaiveDateTime.diff(~N[2014-10-10 00:29:09], ~N[2014-10-02 00:29:10], :day)
7

@spec from_erl(:calendar.datetime(), Calendar.microsecond(), Calendar.calendar()) ::
  {:ok, t()} | {:error, atom()}

Converts an Erlang datetime tuple to a NaiveDateTime struct.

Attempting to convert an invalid ISO calendar date will produce an error tuple.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.from_erl({{2000, 1, 1}, {13, 30, 15}})
{:ok, ~N[2000-01-01 13:30:15]}
iex> NaiveDateTime.from_erl({{2000, 1, 1}, {13, 30, 15}}, {5000, 3})
{:ok, ~N[2000-01-01 13:30:15.005]}
iex> NaiveDateTime.from_erl({{2000, 13, 1}, {13, 30, 15}})
{:error, :invalid_date}
iex> NaiveDateTime.from_erl({{2000, 13, 1}, {13, 30, 15}})
{:error, :invalid_date}

@spec from_erl!(:calendar.datetime(), Calendar.microsecond(), Calendar.calendar()) ::
  t()

Converts an Erlang datetime tuple to a NaiveDateTime struct.

Raises if the datetime is invalid. Attempting to convert an invalid ISO calendar date will produce an error tuple.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.from_erl!({{2000, 1, 1}, {13, 30, 15}})
~N[2000-01-01 13:30:15]
iex> NaiveDateTime.from_erl!({{2000, 1, 1}, {13, 30, 15}}, {5000, 3})
~N[2000-01-01 13:30:15.005]
iex> NaiveDateTime.from_erl!({{2000, 13, 1}, {13, 30, 15}})
** (ArgumentError) cannot convert {{2000, 13, 1}, {13, 30, 15}} to naive datetime, reason: :invalid_date

@spec from_gregorian_seconds(integer(), Calendar.microsecond(), Calendar.calendar()) ::
  t()

Converts a number of gregorian seconds to a NaiveDateTime struct.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.from_gregorian_seconds(1)
~N[0000-01-01 00:00:01]
iex> NaiveDateTime.from_gregorian_seconds(63_755_511_991, {5000, 3})
~N[2020-05-01 00:26:31.005]
iex> NaiveDateTime.from_gregorian_seconds(-1)
~N[-0001-12-31 23:59:59]

@spec from_iso8601(String.t(), Calendar.calendar()) :: {:ok, t()} | {:error, atom()}

Parses the extended "Date and time of day" format described by ISO 8601:2019.

Time zone offset may be included in the string but they will be simply discarded as such information is not included in naive date times.

As specified in the standard, the separator "T" may be omitted if desired as there is no ambiguity within this function.

Note leap seconds are not supported by the built-in Calendar.ISO.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.from_iso8601("2015-01-23 23:50:07")
{:ok, ~N[2015-01-23 23:50:07]}

** (ArgumentError) cannot parse "2015-01-23P23:50:07" as naive datetime, reason: :invalid_format

@spec local_now(Calendar.calendar()) :: t()

Returns the "local time" for the machine the Elixir program is running on.

WARNING: This function can cause insidious bugs. It depends on the time zone configuration at run time. This can changed and be set to a time zone that has daylight saving jumps (spring forward or fall back).

This function can be used to display what the time is right now for the time zone configuration that the machine happens to have. An example would be a desktop program displaying a clock to the user. For any other uses it is probably a bad idea to use this function.

For most cases, use DateTime.now/2 or DateTime.utc_now/1 instead.

Does not include fractional seconds.

Examples

iex> naive_datetime = NaiveDateTime.local_now()
iex> naive_datetime.year >= 2019
true

@spec new(Date.t(), Time.t()) :: {:ok, t()}

Builds a naive datetime from date and time structs.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.new(~D[2010-01-13], ~T[23:00:07.005])
{:ok, ~N[2010-01-13 23:00:07.005]}

  Calendar.day(),
  Calendar.hour(),
  Calendar.minute(),
  Calendar.second(),
  Calendar.microsecond() | non_neg_integer(),
  Calendar.calendar()
) :: {:ok, t()} | {:error, atom()}

Builds a new ISO naive datetime.

Expects all values to be integers. Returns {:ok, naive_datetime} if each entry fits its appropriate range, returns {:error, reason} otherwise.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.new(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)

** (ArgumentError) cannot build naive datetime, reason: :invalid_time

@spec to_date(Calendar.naive_datetime()) :: Date.t()

Converts a NaiveDateTime into a Date.

Because Date does not hold time information, data will be lost during the conversion.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.to_date(~N[2002-01-13 23:00:07])
~D[2002-01-13]

@spec to_erl(Calendar.naive_datetime()) :: :calendar.datetime()

Converts a NaiveDateTime struct to an Erlang datetime tuple.

Only supports converting naive datetimes which are in the ISO calendar, attempting to convert naive datetimes from other calendars will raise.

WARNING: Loss of precision may occur, as Erlang time tuples only store hour/minute/second.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.to_erl(~N[2000-01-01 13:30:15])
{{2000, 1, 1}, {13, 30, 15}}

This function can also be used to convert a DateTime to an Erlang datetime tuple without the time zone information:

iex> dt = %DateTime{year: 2000, month: 2, day: 29, zone_abbr: "CET",
...>                hour: 23, minute: 0, second: 7, microsecond: {0, 0},
...>                utc_offset: 3600, std_offset: 0, time_zone: "Europe/Warsaw"}
iex> NaiveDateTime.to_erl(dt)
{{2000, 2, 29}, {23, 00, 07}}

@spec to_gregorian_seconds(Calendar.naive_datetime()) ::
  {integer(), non_neg_integer()}

Converts a NaiveDateTime struct to a number of gregorian seconds and microseconds.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.to_gregorian_seconds(~N[0000-01-01 00:00:01])
{1, 0}
iex> NaiveDateTime.to_gregorian_seconds(~N[2020-05-01 00:26:31.005])
{63_755_511_991, 5000}

@spec to_iso8601(Calendar.naive_datetime(), :basic | :extended) :: String.t()

Converts the given naive datetime to ISO 8601:2019.

By default, NaiveDateTime.to_iso8601/2 returns naive datetimes formatted in the "extended" format, for human readability. It also supports the "basic" format through passing the :basic option.

Only supports converting naive datetimes which are in the ISO calendar, attempting to convert naive datetimes from other calendars will raise.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.to_iso8601(~N[2000-02-28 23:00:13])
"2000-02-28T23:00:13"

iex> NaiveDateTime.to_iso8601(~N[2000-02-28 23:00:13.001])
"2000-02-28T23:00:13.001"

iex> NaiveDateTime.to_iso8601(~N[2000-02-28 23:00:13.001], :basic)
"20000228T230013.001"

This function can also be used to convert a DateTime to ISO 8601 without the time zone information:

iex> dt = %DateTime{year: 2000, month: 2, day: 29, zone_abbr: "CET",
...>                hour: 23, minute: 0, second: 7, microsecond: {0, 0},
...>                utc_offset: 3600, std_offset: 0, time_zone: "Europe/Warsaw"}
iex> NaiveDateTime.to_iso8601(dt)
"2000-02-29T23:00:07"

@spec to_string(Calendar.naive_datetime()) :: String.t()

Converts the given naive datetime to a string according to its calendar.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.to_string(~N[2000-02-28 23:00:13])
"2000-02-28 23:00:13"
iex> NaiveDateTime.to_string(~N[2000-02-28 23:00:13.001])
"2000-02-28 23:00:13.001"
iex> NaiveDateTime.to_string(~N[-0100-12-15 03:20:31])
"-0100-12-15 03:20:31"

This function can also be used to convert a DateTime to a string without the time zone information:

iex> dt = %DateTime{year: 2000, month: 2, day: 29, zone_abbr: "CET",
...>                hour: 23, minute: 0, second: 7, microsecond: {0, 0},
...>                utc_offset: 3600, std_offset: 0, time_zone: "Europe/Warsaw"}
iex> NaiveDateTime.to_string(dt)
"2000-02-29 23:00:07"

@spec to_time(Calendar.naive_datetime()) :: Time.t()

Converts a NaiveDateTime into Time.

Because Time does not hold date information, data will be lost during the conversion.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.to_time(~N[2002-01-13 23:00:07])
~T[23:00:07]

@spec truncate(t(), :microsecond | :millisecond | :second) :: t()

Returns the given naive datetime with the microsecond field truncated to the given precision (:microsecond, :millisecond or :second).

The given naive datetime is returned unchanged if it already has lower precision than the given precision.

Examples

iex> NaiveDateTime.truncate(~N[2017-11-06 00:23:51.123456], :microsecond)
~N[2017-11-06 00:23:51.123456]

iex> NaiveDateTime.truncate(~N[2017-11-06 00:23:51.123456], :millisecond)
~N[2017-11-06 00:23:51.123]

iex> NaiveDateTime.truncate(~N[2017-11-06 00:23:51.123456], :second)
~N[2017-11-06 00:23:51]

@spec utc_now(Calendar.calendar()) :: t()

Returns the current naive datetime in UTC.

Prefer using DateTime.utc_now/0 when possible as, opposite to NaiveDateTime, it will keep the time zone information.

Examples

iex> naive_datetime = NaiveDateTime.utc_now()
iex> naive_datetime.year >= 2016
true
