Overview

The DateTime (DTT) library is a comprehensive and flexible tool that enables developers to manage dates and times with ease. It offers a wide range of functions, macros, and data structures for performing date and time operations, such as creating, parsing, validating, and formatting date-time objects.

The library supports the creation of new DateTime objects with either UTC or custom timezone specifications, providing accurate and relevant date and time information. Additionally, it offers mechanisms for validating input dates and times, ensuring reliable and precise operations.

Features

The DateTime (DTT) library offers the following features:

  • Core Fields:

    • datetime: The date and time in UTC (PrimitiveDateTime).
    • offset: The timezone offset in UTC (UtcOffset).
  • Core Methods:

    • new_with_tz(tz: &str): Creates a new DateTime object with the specified timezone.
    • new_with_custom_offset(hours: i8, minutes: i8): Creates a DateTime object with a custom UTC offset.
    • from_components(year: i32, month: u8, day: u8, hour: u8, minute: u8, second: u8, offset: UtcOffset): Creates a DateTime object from individual date and time components.
    • update(&self): Updates the DateTime object to the current date and time.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
dtt = "0.0.8"

Add the following to your main.rs file:

extern crate dtt;
use dtt::*;

Usage

Here are some examples of how to use the DateTime (DTT) library in your Rust projects.

Basic Usage

use dtt::datetime::DateTime;
use dtt::dtt_print;

fn main() {
    // Create a new DateTime object with the current UTC time
    let now = DateTime::new();
    dtt_print!(now);

    // Create a DateTime object with a specific timezone
    let ny_time = DateTime::new_with_tz("EST").expect("Valid timezone");
    println!("Current time in New York: {}", ny_time);

    // Parse a date string
    let date = DateTime::parse("2023-05-20T15:30:00Z").expect("Valid date string");
    println!("Parsed date: {}", date);

    // Add days to a date
    let future_date = date.add_days(7).expect("Valid date");
    println!("Date after 7 days: {}", future_date);
}

Macro Usage

The DateTime (DTT) library provides a rich set of macros to simplify common operations:

use dtt::{dtt_now, dtt_parse, dtt_add_days, dtt_diff_days};

fn main() {
    let now = dtt_now!();
    println!("Current time: {}", now);

    let parsed_date = dtt_parse!("2023-05-20T15:30:00Z").expect("Valid date string");
    println!("Parsed date: {}", parsed_date);

    let future_date = dtt_add_days!(parsed_date, 7).expect("Valid date");
    println!("Date after 7 days: {}", future_date);

    let days_diff = dtt_diff_days!(now, future_date);
    println!("Days difference: {}", days_diff);
}

Error Handling

The library uses a custom DateTimeError type for error handling:

use dtt::datetime::DateTime;
use dtt::error::DateTimeError;

fn example_with_error_handling() -> Result<(), DateTimeError> {
    let date = DateTime::parse("2023-05-20T15:30:00Z")?;
    println!("Parsed date: {}", date);

    let invalid_date = DateTime::parse("2023-13-20T15:30:00Z");
    match invalid_date {
        Ok(_) => println!("This shouldn't happen"),
        Err(e) => println!("Error parsing invalid date: {}", e),
    }

    Ok(())
}
