View Source Tempus (Tempus v0.15.0)

Tempus is a library to deal with timeslots.

It aims to be a fast yet easy to use implementation of a schedule of any type, including but not limited to free/busy time schedules.

The example of it might be a calendar software, where slots might be marked as free, or busy. It also allows simple arithmetics with schedules, like adding five days or subtracting 7 hours 30 minutes from now, considering busy slots.

Summary

Types

Number of slots (:stream means lazy folding, unknown upfront)

Direction for slots navigation

Navigation option

Argument containing navigation options

The type defining how slicing is to be applied. When :greedy, overlapping boundary slots would be included, :reluctant would take only those fully contained in the interval.

Functions

Adds an amount of units to the origin, considering slots given.

Returns the reversed list of free days after origin.

Returns the reversed list of free days after origin.

Returns the reversed list of free days after origin.

Drops slots at the beginning of the %Slots{} struct while fun returns a truthy value.

Checks whether the slot is disjoined against slots.

Helper to instantiate slot from any known format, by wrapping the argument.

Helper to instantiate slot from any known format, by joining the arguments.

Creates the new instance of Tempus.Slots.t(Tempus.Slots.Stream.t()) backed by stream.

Returns the next busy slot from the slots passed as a first argument, that immediately follows origin. If slots are overlapped, the overlapped one gets returned.

Returns the next free slot from the slots passed as a first argument, that immediately follows origin. If slots are overlapped, the overlapped one gets returned.

Creates a Tempus.Slots.Stream.t() slots stream by a cron-like definition.

Slices the %Slots{} based on origins from and to and an optional type (default: :reluctant.) Returns sliced %Slots{} back.

Syntactic sugar for |> Enum.into(%Slots{}).

Syntactic sugar for Tempus.Slots.Stream.iterate/3 with default options return_as: :slots, join: true.

Takes an amount of elements from the beginning of the Tempus.Slots structure, returning Tempus.Slots.List instance.

Takes slots at the beginning of the %Slots{} struct while fun returns a truthy value.

Types

@type count() :: :infinity | :stream | non_neg_integer()

Number of slots (:stream means lazy folding, unknown upfront)

@type direction() :: :fwd | :bwd

Direction for slots navigation

@type option() ::
  {:origin, Tempus.Slot.origin()}
  | {:count, count() | neg_integer()}
  | {:direction, direction()}

Navigation option

@type options() :: [option()]

Argument containing navigation options

@type slice_type() :: :greedy | :reluctant

The type defining how slicing is to be applied. When :greedy, overlapping boundary slots would be included, :reluctant would take only those fully contained in the interval.

@spec stream(Tempus.Slot.origin(), (Tempus.Slot.t() -> Tempus.Slot.t())) ::
  Tempus.Slots.t(Tempus.Slots.Stream)

Syntactic sugar for Tempus.Slots.Stream.iterate/3 with default options return_as: :slots, join: true.

Examples

iex> import Tempus.Sigils
...> Tempus.stream(~D|2024-01-20|, &Tempus.Slot.shift(&1, by: rem(&1.from.day, 2) + 1, unit: :day)) |> Enum.take(3)

@spec take(Tempus.Slots.t(), non_neg_integer()) :: Tempus.Slots.t(Tempus.Slots.List)

Takes an amount of elements from the beginning of the Tempus.Slots structure, returning Tempus.Slots.List instance.

If amount is 0, it returns Tempus.Slots.List.new/0.

Examples

iex> import Tempus.Sigils
...> Tempus.stream(~D|2024-01-20|, &Tempus.Slot.shift(&1, by: rem(&1.from.day, 2) + 1, unit: :day)) |> Tempus.take(3)
Tempus.Slots.new(:list, [~I(2024-01-20T00:00:00.000000Z → 2024-01-21T23:59:59.999999Z),

View Source (since 0.7.0)
@spec take_while(slots :: Tempus.Slots.t(), fun :: (Tempus.Slot.t() -> boolean())) ::
  Tempus.Slots.t()

Takes slots at the beginning of the %Slots{} struct while fun returns a truthy value.
