    The main API for dates, times, instants, and durations.

    The main API for dates, times, instants, and durations.

    The classes defined here represent the principal date-time concepts, including instants, durations, dates, times, time-zones and periods. They are based on the ISO calendar system, which is the de facto world calendar following the proleptic Gregorian rules. All the classes are immutable and thread-safe.

    Each date time instance is composed of fields that are conveniently made available by the APIs. For lower level access to the fields refer to the org.threeten.bp.temporal package. Each class includes support for printing and parsing all manner of dates and times. Refer to the org.threeten.bp.format package for customization options.

    The org.threeten.bp.chrono package contains the calendar neutral API. This is intended for use by applications that need to use localized calendars. It is recommended that applications use the ISO-8601 dates and time classes from this package across system boundaries, such as to the database or across the network. The calendar neutral API should be reserved for interactions with users.

    Dates and Times

    org.threeten.bp.Instant is essentially a numeric timestamp. The current Instant can be retrieved from a org.threeten.bp.Clock. This is useful for logging and persistence of a point in time and has in the past been associated with storing the result from java.lang.System#currentTimeMillis().

    org.threeten.bp.LocalDate stores a date without a time. This stores a date like '2010-12-03' and could be used to store a birthday.

    org.threeten.bp.LocalTime stores a time without a date. This stores a time like '11:30' and could be used to store an opening or closing time.

    org.threeten.bp.LocalDateTime stores a date and time. This stores a date-time like '2010-12-03T11:30'.

    org.threeten.bp.OffsetTime stores a time and offset from UTC without a date. This stores a date like '11:30+01:00'. The ZoneOffset is of the form '+01:00'.

    org.threeten.bp.OffsetDateTime stores a date and time and offset from UTC. This stores a date-time like '2010-12-03T11:30+01:00'. This is sometimes found in XML messages and other forms of persistence, but contains less information than a full time-zone.

    org.threeten.bp.ZonedDateTime stores a date and time with a time-zone. This is useful if you want to perform accurate calculations of dates and times taking into account the org.threeten.bp.ZoneId, such as 'Europe/Paris'. Where possible, it is recommended to use a simpler class. The widespread use of time-zones tends to add considerable complexity to an application.

    Duration and Period

    Beyond dates and times, the API also allows the storage of period and durations of time. A org.threeten.bp.Duration is a simple measure of time along the time-line in nanoseconds. A org.threeten.bp.Period expresses an amount of time in units meaningful to humans, such as years or hours.

    Additional value types

    org.threeten.bp.Year stores a year on its own. This stores a single year in isolation, such as '2010'.

    org.threeten.bp.YearMonth stores a year and month without a day or time. This stores a year and month, such as '2010-12' and could be used for a credit card expiry.

    org.threeten.bp.MonthDay stores a month and day without a year or time. This stores a month and day-of-month, such as '--12-03' and could be used to store an annual event like a birthday without storing the year.

    org.threeten.bp.Month stores a month on its own. This stores a single month-of-year in isolation, such as 'DECEMBER'.

    org.threeten.bp.DayOfWeek stores a day-of-week on its own. This stores a single day-of-week in isolation, such as 'TUESDAY'.

  • package temporal

    Access to date and time using fields and units.

    Access to date and time using fields and units.

    This package expands on the base package to provide additional functionality for more powerful use cases. Support is included for:

    • Units of date-time, such as years, months, days and hours
    • Fields of date-time, such as month-of-year, day-of-week or hour-of-day
    • Date-time adjustment functions
    • Different definitions of weeks

    Fields and Units

    Dates and times are expressed in terms of fields and units. A unit is used to measure an amount of time, such as years, days or minutes. All units implement org.threeten.bp.temporal.TemporalUnit. The set of well known units is defined in org.threeten.bp.temporal.ChronoUnit, for example, org.threeten.bp.temporal.ChronoUnit#DAYS. The unit interface is designed to allow applications to add their own units.

    A field is used to express part of a larger date-time, such as year, month-of-year or second-of-minute. All fields implement org.threeten.bp.temporal.TemporalField. The set of well known fields are defined in org.threeten.bp.temporal.ChronoField, for example, org.threeten.bp.temporal.ChronoField#HOUR_OF_DAY. An additional fields are defined by org.threeten.bp.temporal.JulianFields. The field interface is designed to allow applications to add their own fields.

    This package provides tools that allow the units and fields of date and time to be accessed in a general way most suited for frameworks. org.threeten.bp.temporal.Temporal provides the abstraction for date time types that support fields. Its methods support getting the value of a field, creating a new date time with the value of a field modified, and extracting another date time type, typically used to extract the offset or time-zone.

    One use of fields in application code is to retrieve fields for which there is no convenience method. For example, getting the day-of-month is common enough that there is a method on LocalDate called getDayOfMonth(). However for more unusual fields it is necessary to use the field. For example, date.get(ChronoField.ALIGNED_WEEK_OF_MONTH). The fields also provide access to the range of valid values.

    Adjustment

    A key part of the date-time problem space is adjusting a date to a new, related value, such as the "last day of the month", or "next Wednesday". These are modeled as functions that adjust a base date-time. The functions implement org.threeten.bp.temporal.TemporalAdjuster and operate on org.threeten.bp.temporal.Temporal. A set of common functions are provided in org.threeten.bp.temporal.TemporalAdjusters. For example, to find the first occurrence of a day-of-week after a given date, use org.threeten.bp.temporal.TemporalAdjusters#next(DayOfWeek), such as date.with(next(MONDAY)).

    Weeks

    Different locales have different definitions of the week. For example, in Europe the week typically starts on a Monday, while in the US it starts on a Sunday. The org.threeten.bp.temporal.WeekFields class models this distinction.

    The ISO calendar system defines an additional week-based division of years. This defines a year based on whole Monday to Monday weeks. This is modeled in org.threeten.bp.temporal.IsoFields.

  4. def adjustInto[R <: Temporal](temporal: R, newValue: Long): R

    Returns a copy of the specified temporal object with the value of this field set.

    Returns a copy of the specified temporal object with the value of this field set.

    This returns a new temporal object based on the specified one with the value for this field changed. For example, on a LocalDate, this could be used to set the year, month or day-of-month. The returned object has the same observable type as the specified object.

    In some cases, changing a field is not fully defined. For example, if the target object is a date representing the 31st January, then changing the month to February would be unclear. In cases like this, the implementation is responsible for resolving the result. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February in this example.

    There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method directly. The second is to use long): 

    // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
temporal = thisField.adjustInto(temporal);
temporal = temporal.with(thisField);
    It is recommended to use the second approach, with(TemporalField), as it is a lot clearer to read in code.

    Implementations should perform any queries or calculations using the fields available in ChronoField. If the field is not supported a DateTimeException must be thrown.

    Implementations must not alter the specified temporal object. Instead, an adjusted copy of the original must be returned. This provides equivalent, safe behavior for immutable and mutable implementations.

    There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method directly. The second is to use TemporalAccessor#getLong(TemporalField) (or TemporalAccessor#get(TemporalField)): 

    // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
temporal = thisField.getFrom(temporal);
temporal = temporal.getLong(thisField);
    It is recommended to use the second approach, getLong(TemporalField), as it is a lot clearer to read in code.

    Gets the range that the field is bound by.

    The range of the field is the period that the field varies within. For example, in the field 'MonthOfYear', the range is 'Years'. See also #getBaseUnit().

    The range is never null. For example, the 'Year' field is shorthand for 'YearOfForever'. It therefore has a unit of 'Years' and a range of 'Forever'.

    Checks if this field is supported by the temporal object.

    Checks if this field is supported by the temporal object.

    This determines whether the temporal accessor supports this field. If this returns false, the the temporal cannot be queried for this field.

    There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method directly. The second is to use TemporalAccessor#isSupported(TemporalField): 

    // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
temporal = thisField.isSupportedBy(temporal);
temporal = temporal.isSupported(thisField);
    It is recommended to use the second approach, isSupported(TemporalField), as it is a lot clearer to read in code.

    Gets the range of valid values for the field.

    Gets the range of valid values for the field.

    All fields can be expressed as a long integer. This method returns an object that describes the valid range for that value.

    This method returns the range of the field in the ISO-8601 calendar system. This range may be incorrect for other calendar systems. Use Chronology#range(ChronoField) to access the correct range for a different calendar system.

    Note that the result only describes the minimum and maximum valid values and it is important not to read too much into them. For example, there could be values within the range that are invalid for the field.

    returns

    the range of valid values for the field, not null

  30. def rangeRefinedBy(temporal: TemporalAccessor): ValueRange

    Get the range of valid values for this field using the temporal object to refine the result.

    Get the range of valid values for this field using the temporal object to refine the result.

    This uses the temporal object to find the range of valid values for the field. This is similar to #range(), however this method refines the result using the temporal. For example, if the field is DAY_OF_MONTH the range method is not accurate as there are four possible month lengths, 28, 29, 30 and 31 days. Using this method with a date allows the range to be accurate, returning just one of those four options.

    There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method directly. The second is to use TemporalAccessor#range(TemporalField): 

    // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
temporal = thisField.rangeRefinedBy(temporal);
temporal = temporal.range(thisField);
    It is recommended to use the second approach, range(TemporalField), as it is a lot clearer to read in code.
