ChronoLocalDateTime

A date-time without a time-zone _in an arbitrary chronology, intended for advanced globalization use cases. !(p) !(b)Most applications should declare method signatures, fields and variables as {@link LocalDateTime}, not this interface.</b> !(p) A {@code ChronoLocalDateTime} is the abstract representation of a local date-time where the {@code Chronology chronology}, or calendar system, is pluggable. The date-time is defined _in terms of fields expressed by {@link TemporalField}, where most common implementations are defined _in {@link ChronoField}. The chronology defines how the calendar system operates and the meaning of the standard fields.

!(h3)When to use this interface</h3> The design of the API encourages the use of {@code LocalDateTime} rather than this interface, even _in the case where the application needs to deal with multiple calendar systems. The rationale for this is explored _in detail _in {@link ChronoLocalDate}. !(p) Ensure that the discussion _in {@code ChronoLocalDate} has been read and understood before using this interface.

@implSpec This interface must be implemented with care to ensure other classes operate correctly. All implementations that can be instantiated must be final, immutable and thread-safe. Subclasses should be Serializable wherever possible.

@param !(D) the concrete type for the date of this date-time @since 1.8

adjustInto
Temporal adjustInto(Temporal temporal)

Adjusts the specified temporal object to have the same date and time as this object. !(p) This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the date and time changed to be the same as this. !(p) The adjustment is equivalent to using {@link Temporal#_with(TemporalField, long)} twice, passing {@link ChronoField#EPOCH_DAY} and {@link ChronoField#NANO_OF_DAY} as the fields. !(p) In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using {@link Temporal#_with(TemporalAdjuster)}: !(pre) // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended temporal = thisLocalDateTime.adjustInto(temporal); temporal = temporal._with(thisLocalDateTime); </pre> !(p) This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

atZone
ChronoZonedDateTime!(D) atZone(ZoneId zone)

Combines this time with a time-zone to create a {@code ChronoZonedDateTime}. !(p) This returns a {@code ChronoZonedDateTime} formed from this date-time at the specified time-zone. The result will match this date-time as closely as possible. Time-zone rules, such as daylight savings, mean that not every local date-time is valid for the specified zone, thus the local date-time may be adjusted. !(p) The local date-time is resolved to a single instant on the time-line. This is achieved by finding a valid offset from UTC/Greenwich for the local date-time as defined by the {@link ZoneRules rules} of the zone ID. !(p) In most cases, there is only one valid offset for a local date-time. In the case of an overlap, where clocks are set back, there are two valid offsets. This method uses the earlier offset typically corresponding to "summer". !(p) In the case of a gap, where clocks jump forward, there is no valid offset. Instead, the local date-time is adjusted to be later by the length of the gap. For a typical one hour daylight savings change, the local date-time will be moved one hour later into the offset typically corresponding to "summer". !(p) To obtain the later offset during an overlap, call {@link ChronoZonedDateTime#withLaterOffsetAtOverlap()} on the result of this method.

compareTo
int compareTo(ChronoLocalDateTime!(ChronoLocalDate) other)

Compares this date-time to another date-time, including the chronology. !(p) The comparison is based first on the underlying time-line date-time, then on the chronology. It is "consistent with equals", as defined by {@link Comparable}. !(p) For example, the following is the comparator order: !(ol) !(li){@code 2012-12-03T12:00 (ISO)}</li> !(li){@code 2012-12-04T12:00 (ISO)}</li> !(li){@code 2555-12-04T12:00 (ThaiBuddhist)}</li> !(li){@code 2012-12-05T12:00 (ISO)}</li> </ol> Values #2 and #3 represent the same date-time on the time-line. When two values represent the same date-time, the chronology ID is compared to distinguish them. This step is needed to make the ordering "consistent with equals". !(p) If all the date-time objects being compared are _in the same chronology, then the additional chronology stage is not required and only the local date-time is used. !(p) This implementation performs the comparison defined above.

getChronology
Chronology getChronology()

Gets the chronology of this date-time. !(p) The {@code Chronology} represents the calendar system _in use. The era and other fields _in {@link ChronoField} are defined by the chronology.

isAfter
bool isAfter(ChronoLocalDateTime!(ChronoLocalDate) other)

Checks if this date-time is after the specified date-time ignoring the chronology. !(p) This method differs from the comparison _in {@link #compareTo} _in that it only compares the underlying date-time and not the chronology. This allows dates _in different calendar systems to be compared based on the time-line position. !(p) This implementation performs the comparison based on the epoch-day and nano-of-day.

isBefore
bool isBefore(ChronoLocalDateTime!(ChronoLocalDate) other)

Checks if this date-time is before the specified date-time ignoring the chronology. !(p) This method differs from the comparison _in {@link #compareTo} _in that it only compares the underlying date-time and not the chronology. This allows dates _in different calendar systems to be compared based on the time-line position. !(p) This implementation performs the comparison based on the epoch-day and nano-of-day.

isEqual
bool isEqual(ChronoLocalDateTime!(ChronoLocalDate) other)

Checks if this date-time is equal to the specified date-time ignoring the chronology. !(p) This method differs from the comparison _in {@link #compareTo} _in that it only compares the underlying date and time and not the chronology. This allows date-times _in different calendar systems to be compared based on the time-line position. !(p) This implementation performs the comparison based on the epoch-day and nano-of-day.

isSupported
bool isSupported(TemporalField field)

Checks if the specified field is supported. !(p) This checks if the specified field can be queried on this date-time. If false, then calling the {@link #range(TemporalField) range}, {@link #get(TemporalField) get} and {@link #_with(TemporalField, long)} methods will throw an exception. !(p) The set of supported fields is defined by the chronology and normally includes all {@code ChronoField} date and time fields. !(p) If the field is not a {@code ChronoField}, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking {@code TemporalField.isSupportedBy(TemporalAccessor)} passing {@code this} as the argument. Whether the field is supported is determined by the field.

isSupported
bool isSupported(TemporalUnit unit)

Checks if the specified unit is supported. !(p) This checks if the specified unit can be added to or subtracted from this date-time. If false, then calling the {@link #plus(long, TemporalUnit)} and {@link #minus(long, TemporalUnit) minus} methods will throw an exception. !(p) The set of supported units is defined by the chronology and normally includes all {@code ChronoUnit} units except {@code FOREVER}. !(p) If the unit is not a {@code ChronoUnit}, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking {@code TemporalUnit.isSupportedBy(Temporal)} passing {@code this} as the argument. Whether the unit is supported is determined by the unit.

query
R query(TemporalQuery!(R) query)

Queries this date-time using the specified query. !(p) This queries this date-time using the specified query strategy object. The {@code TemporalQuery} object defines the logic to be used to obtain the result. Read the documentation of the query to understand what the result of this method will be. !(p) The result of this method is obtained by invoking the {@link TemporalQuery#queryFrom(TemporalAccessor)} method on the specified query passing {@code this} as the argument.

toEpochSecond
long toEpochSecond(ZoneOffset offset)

Converts this date-time to the number of seconds from the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. !(p) This combines this local date-time and the specified offset to calculate the epoch-second value, which is the number of elapsed seconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Instants on the time-line after the epoch are positive, earlier are negative. !(p) This implementation calculates from the epoch-day of the date and the second-of-day of the time.

toHash
size_t toHash()

A hash code for this date-time.

toInstant
Instant toInstant(ZoneOffset offset)

Converts this date-time to an {@code Instant}. !(p) This combines this local date-time and the specified offset to form an {@code Instant}. !(p) This implementation calculates from the epoch-day of the date and the second-of-day of the time.

toLocalDate
D toLocalDate()

Gets the local date part of this date-time. !(p) This returns a local date with the same year, month and day as this date-time.

toLocalTime
LocalTime toLocalTime()

Gets the local time part of this date-time. !(p) This returns a local time with the same hour, minute, second and nanosecond as this date-time.

toString
string toString()

Outputs this date-time as a {@code string}. !(p) The output will include the full local date-time.

Static functions

from
ChronoLocalDateTime!(ChronoLocalDate) from(TemporalAccessor temporal)

Obtains an instance of {@code ChronoLocalDateTime} from a temporal object. !(p) This obtains a local date-time based on the specified temporal. A {@code TemporalAccessor} represents an arbitrary set of date and time information, which this factory converts to an instance of {@code ChronoLocalDateTime}. !(p) The conversion extracts and combines the chronology and the date-time from the temporal object. The behavior is equivalent to using {@link Chronology#localDateTime(TemporalAccessor)} with the extracted chronology. Implementations are permitted to perform optimizations such as accessing those fields that are equivalent to the relevant objects. !(p) This method matches the signature of the functional interface {@link TemporalQuery} allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, {@code ChronoLocalDateTime::from}.

timeLineOrder
Comparator!(ChronoLocalDateTime!(ChronoLocalDate)) timeLineOrder()

Gets a comparator that compares {@code ChronoLocalDateTime} _in time-line order ignoring the chronology. !(p) This comparator differs from the comparison _in {@link #compareTo} _in that it only compares the underlying date-time and not the chronology. This allows dates _in different calendar systems to be compared based on the position of the date-time on the local time-line. The underlying comparison is equivalent to comparing the epoch-day and nano-of-day.

isSupported
bool isSupported(TemporalUnit unit)

Checks if the specified unit is supported. !(p) This checks if the specified unit can be added to, or subtracted from, this date-time. If false, then calling the {@link #plus(long, TemporalUnit)} and {@link #minus(long, TemporalUnit) minus} methods will throw an exception.

_with
Temporal _with(TemporalAdjuster adjuster)

Returns an adjusted object of the same type as this object with the adjustment made. !(p) This adjusts this date-time according to the rules of the specified adjuster. A simple adjuster might simply set the one of the fields, such as the year field. A more complex adjuster might set the date to the last day of the month. A selection of common adjustments is provided _in {@link hunt.time.temporal.TemporalAdjusters TemporalAdjusters}. These include finding the "last day of the month" and "next Wednesday". The adjuster is responsible for handling special cases, such as the varying lengths of month and leap years. !(p) Some example code indicating how and why this method is used: !(pre) date = date._with(Month.JULY); // most key classes implement TemporalAdjuster date = date._with(lastDayOfMonth()); // static import from Adjusters date = date._with(next(WEDNESDAY)); // static import from Adjusters and DayOfWeek </pre>

_with
Temporal _with(TemporalField field, long newValue)

Returns an object of the same type as this object with the specified field altered. !(p) This returns a new object based on this one with the value for the specified field changed. For example, on a {@code LocalDate}, this could be used to set the year, month or day-of-month. The returned object will have the same observable type as this object. !(p) 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 field 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.

plus
Temporal plus(TemporalAmount amount)

Returns an object of the same type as this object with an amount added. !(p) This adjusts this temporal, adding according to the rules of the specified amount. The amount is typically a {@link hunt.time.Period} but may be any other type implementing the {@link TemporalAmount} interface, such as {@link hunt.time.Duration}. !(p) Some example code indicating how and why this method is used: !(pre) date = date.plus(period); // add a Period instance date = date.plus(duration); // add a Duration instance date = date.plus(workingDays(6)); // example user-written workingDays method </pre> !(p) Note that calling {@code plus} followed by {@code minus} is not guaranteed to return the same date-time.

plus
Temporal plus(long amountToAdd, TemporalUnit unit)

Returns an object of the same type as this object with the specified period added. !(p) This method returns a new object based on this one with the specified period added. For example, on a {@code LocalDate}, this could be used to add a number of years, months or days. The returned object will have the same observable type as this object. !(p) In some cases, changing a field is not fully defined. For example, if the target object is a date representing the 31st January, then adding one month would be unclear. In cases like this, the field 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.

minus
Temporal minus(TemporalAmount amount)

Returns an object of the same type as this object with an amount subtracted. !(p) This adjusts this temporal, subtracting according to the rules of the specified amount. The amount is typically a {@link hunt.time.Period} but may be any other type implementing the {@link TemporalAmount} interface, such as {@link hunt.time.Duration}. !(p) Some example code indicating how and why this method is used: !(pre) date = date.minus(period); // subtract a Period instance date = date.minus(duration); // subtract a Duration instance date = date.minus(workingDays(6)); // example user-written workingDays method </pre> !(p) Note that calling {@code plus} followed by {@code minus} is not guaranteed to return the same date-time.

minus
Temporal minus(long amountToSubtract, TemporalUnit unit)

Returns an object of the same type as this object with the specified period subtracted. !(p) This method returns a new object based on this one with the specified period subtracted. For example, on a {@code LocalDate}, this could be used to subtract a number of years, months or days. The returned object will have the same observable type as this object. !(p) In some cases, changing a field is not fully defined. For example, if the target object is a date representing the 31st March, then subtracting one month would be unclear. In cases like this, the field 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.

until
long until(Temporal endExclusive, TemporalUnit unit)

Calculates the amount of time until another temporal _in terms of the specified unit. !(p) This calculates the amount of time between two temporal objects _in terms of a single {@code TemporalUnit}. The start and end points are {@code this} and the specified temporal. The end point is converted to be of the same type as the start point if different. The result will be negative if the end is before the start. For example, the amount _in hours between two temporal objects can be calculated using {@code startTime.until(endTime, HOURS)}. !(p) The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of complete units between the two temporals. For example, the amount _in hours between the times 11:30 and 13:29 will only be one hour as it is one minute short of two hours. !(p) There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method directly. The second is to use {@link TemporalUnit#between(Temporal, Temporal)}: !(pre) // these two lines are equivalent temporal = start.until(end, unit); temporal = unit.between(start, end); </pre> The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable. !(p) For example, this method allows the number of days between two dates to be calculated: !(pre) long daysBetween = start.until(end, DAYS); // or alternatively long daysBetween = DAYS.between(start, end); </pre>

From TemporalAdjuster

adjustInto
Temporal adjustInto(Temporal temporal)

Adjusts the specified temporal object. !(p) This adjusts the specified temporal object using the logic encapsulated _in the implementing class. Examples might be an adjuster that sets the date avoiding weekends, or one that sets the date to the last day of the month. !(p) There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method directly. The second is to use {@link Temporal#_with(TemporalAdjuster)}: !(pre) // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended temporal = thisAdjuster.adjustInto(temporal); temporal = temporal._with(thisAdjuster); </pre> It is recommended to use the second approach, {@code _with(TemporalAdjuster)}, as it is a lot clearer to read _in code.
