Adds the number of units to the given time.

This function accepts the number measured according to Calendar.ISO. The time is returned in the same calendar as it was given in.

Note the result value represents the time of day, meaning that it is cyclic, for instance, it will never go over 24 hours for the ISO calendar.

Examples

iex> Time.add(~T[10:00:00], 27000)
~T[17:30:00.000000]
iex> Time.add(~T[11:00:00.005], 2400)
~T[11:40:00.005000]
iex> Time.add(~T[00:00:00], 86_399_999, :millisecond)
~T[23:59:59.999000]
iex> Time.add(~T[17:10:05], 86400)
~T[17:10:05.000000]
iex> Time.add(~T[23:00:00], -60)
~T[22:59:00.000000]

Compares two time structs.

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

Examples

iex> Time.compare(~T[16:04:16], ~T[16:04:28])
:lt
iex> Time.compare(~T[16:04:16], ~T[16:04:16])
:eq
iex> Time.compare(~T[16:04:16.01], ~T[16:04:16.001])
:gt

This function can also be used to compare across more complex calendar types by considering only the time fields:

iex> Time.compare(~N[1900-01-01 16:04:16], ~N[2015-01-01 16:04:16])
:eq
iex> Time.compare(~N[2015-01-01 16:04:16], ~N[2015-01-01 16:04:28])
:lt
iex> Time.compare(~N[2015-01-01 16:04:16.01], ~N[2000-01-01 16:04:16.001])
:gt

Similar to Time.convert/2, but raises an ArgumentError if the conversion between the two calendars is not possible.

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> Time.convert!(~T[13:30:15], Calendar.Holocene)
%Time{calendar: Calendar.Holocene, hour: 13, minute: 30, second: 15, microsecond: {0, 0}}

Converts given time to a different calendar.

Returns {:ok, time} if the conversion was successful, or {:error, reason} if it was not, for some reason.

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> Time.convert(~T[13:30:15], Calendar.Holocene)
{:ok, %Time{calendar: Calendar.Holocene, hour: 13, minute: 30, second: 15, microsecond: {0, 0}}}

Returns the difference between two times, considering only the hour, minute, second and microsecond.

As with the compare/2 function both Time structs and other structures containing time can be used. If for instance a NaiveDateTime or DateTime is passed, only the hour, month, second, and microsecond is considered. Any additional information about a date or time zone is ignored when calculating the difference.

The answer can be returned in any unit available from System.time_unit/0. If the first unit is smaller than the second, a negative number is returned.

This function returns the difference in seconds where seconds are measured according to Calendar.ISO.

Examples

iex> Time.diff(~T[00:29:12], ~T[00:29:10])
2

# When passing a [`NaiveDateTime`](NaiveDateTime.html) the date part is ignored.
iex> Time.diff(~N[2017-01-01 00:29:12], ~T[00:29:10])
2

# Two [`NaiveDateTime`](NaiveDateTime.html) structs could have big differences in the date
# but only the time part is considered.
iex> Time.diff(~N[2017-01-01 00:29:12], ~N[1900-02-03 00:29:10])
2

iex> Time.diff(~T[00:29:12], ~T[00:29:10], :microsecond)
2_000_000
iex> Time.diff(~T[00:29:10], ~T[00:29:12], :microsecond)
-2_000_000

Converts an Erlang time tuple to a Time struct.

Examples

iex> Time.from_erl!({23, 30, 15})
~T[23:30:15]
iex> Time.from_erl!({23, 30, 15}, {5000, 3})
~T[23:30:15.005]
iex> Time.from_erl!({24, 30, 15})
** (ArgumentError) cannot convert {24, 30, 15} to time, reason: :invalid_time

Converts an Erlang time tuple to a Time struct.

Examples

iex> Time.from_erl({23, 30, 15}, {5000, 3})
{:ok, ~T[23:30:15.005]}
iex> Time.from_erl({24, 30, 15})
{:error, :invalid_time}

Parses the extended “Local time” format described by ISO 8601:2004.

Raises if the format is invalid.

Examples

iex> Time.from_iso8601!("23:50:07,123Z")
~T[23:50:07.123]
iex> Time.from_iso8601!("23:50:07.123Z")
~T[23:50:07.123]
iex> Time.from_iso8601!("2015:01:23 23-50-07")
** (ArgumentError) cannot parse "2015:01:23 23-50-07" as time, reason: :invalid_format

Parses the extended “Local time” format described by ISO 8601:2004.

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

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

Time representations with reduced accuracy are not supported.

Note that while ISO 8601 allows times to specify 24:00:00 as the zero hour of the next day, this notation is not supported by Elixir.

Examples

iex> Time.from_iso8601("23:50:07")
{:ok, ~T[23:50:07]}
iex> Time.from_iso8601("23:50:07Z")
{:ok, ~T[23:50:07]}
iex> Time.from_iso8601("T23:50:07Z")
{:ok, ~T[23:50:07]}

iex> Time.from_iso8601("23:50:07,0123456")
{:ok, ~T[23:50:07.012345]}
iex> Time.from_iso8601("23:50:07.0123456")
{:ok, ~T[23:50:07.012345]}
iex> Time.from_iso8601("23:50:07.123Z")
{:ok, ~T[23:50:07.123]}

iex> Time.from_iso8601("2015:01:23 23-50-07")
{:error, :invalid_format}
iex> Time.from_iso8601("23:50:07A")
{:error, :invalid_format}
iex> Time.from_iso8601("23:50:07.")
{:error, :invalid_format}
iex> Time.from_iso8601("23:50:61")
{:error, :invalid_time}

Builds a new time.

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

Note a time may have 60 seconds in case of leap seconds. Microseconds can also be given with a precision, which must be an integer between 0 and 6.

Examples

iex> Time.new(0, 0, 0, 0)
{:ok, ~T[00:00:00.000000]}
iex> Time.new(23, 59, 59, 999_999)
{:ok, ~T[23:59:59.999999]}
iex> Time.new(23, 59, 60, 999_999)
{:ok, ~T[23:59:60.999999]}

# Time with microseconds and their precision
iex> Time.new(23, 59, 60, {10_000, 2})
{:ok, ~T[23:59:60.01]}

iex> Time.new(24, 59, 59, 999_999)
{:error, :invalid_time}
iex> Time.new(23, 60, 59, 999_999)
{:error, :invalid_time}
iex> Time.new(23, 59, 61, 999_999)
{:error, :invalid_time}
iex> Time.new(23, 59, 59, 1_000_000)
{:error, :invalid_time}

# Invalid precision
Time.new(23, 59, 59, {999_999, 10})
{:error, :invalid_time}

Converts given time to an Erlang time tuple.

WARNING: Loss of precision may occur, as Erlang time tuples only contain hours/minutes/seconds.

Examples

iex> Time.to_erl(~T[23:30:15.999])
{23, 30, 15}

iex> Time.to_erl(~N[2010-04-17 23:30:15.999])
{23, 30, 15}

Converts the given time to ISO 8601:2004.

By default, Time.to_iso8601/2 returns times formatted in the “extended” format, for human readability. It also supports the “basic” format through passing the :basic option.

Examples

iex> Time.to_iso8601(~T[23:00:13])
"23:00:13"

iex> Time.to_iso8601(~T[23:00:13.001])
"23:00:13.001"

iex> Time.to_iso8601(~T[23:00:13.001], :basic)
"230013.001"

iex> Time.to_iso8601(~N[2010-04-17 23:00:13])
"23:00:13"

Converts the given time to a string.

Examples

iex> Time.to_string(~T[23:00:00])
"23:00:00"
iex> Time.to_string(~T[23:00:00.001])
"23:00:00.001"
iex> Time.to_string(~T[23:00:00.123456])
"23:00:00.123456"

iex> Time.to_string(~N[2015-01-01 23:00:00.001])
"23:00:00.001"
iex> Time.to_string(~N[2015-01-01 23:00:00.123456])
"23:00:00.123456"

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

Examples

iex> Time.truncate(~T[01:01:01.123456], :microsecond)
~T[01:01:01.123456]

iex> Time.truncate(~T[01:01:01.123456], :millisecond)
~T[01:01:01.123]

iex> Time.truncate(~T[01:01:01.123456], :second)
~T[01:01:01]

Returns the current time in UTC.

Examples

iex> time = Time.utc_now()
iex> time.hour >= 0
true
