The times module contains routines and types for dealing with time using the proleptic Gregorian calendar. It's also available for the JavaScript target.

Although the times module supports nanosecond time resolution, the resolution used by getTime() depends on the platform and backend (JS is limited to millisecond precision).

Examples

import times, os
# Simple benchmarking
let time = cpuTime()
sleep(100) # Replace this with something to be timed
echo "Time taken: ", cpuTime() - time

# Current date & time
let now1 = now()     # Current timestamp as a DateTime in local time
let now2 = now().utc # Current timestamp as a DateTime in UTC
let now3 = getTime() # Current timestamp as a Time

# Arithmetic using Duration
echo "One hour from now      : ", now() + initDuration(hours = 1)
# Arithmetic using TimeInterval
echo "One year from now      : ", now() + 1.years
echo "One month from now     : ", now() + 1.months

Parsing and Formatting Dates

The DateTime type can be parsed and formatted using the different parse and format procedures.

let dt = parse("2000-01-01", "yyyy-MM-dd")
echo dt.format("yyyy-MM-dd")

The different format patterns that are supported are documented below.

PatternDescriptionExample

00:00:06 -> 06

tA when time is in the AM. P when time is in the PM.

5pm -> P
2am -> A

ttSame as above, but AM and PM instead of A and P respectively.

5pm -> PM
2am -> AM

yyThe last two digits of the year. When parsing, the current century is assumed.

2012 AD -> 12

yyyyThe year, padded to at least four digits. Is always positive, even when the year is BC. When the year is more than four digits, '+' is prepended.

2012 AD -> 2012
24 AD -> 0024
24 BC -> 00024
12345 AD -> +12345

YYYYThe year without any padding. Is always positive, even when the year is BC.

24 BC -> -0023
12345 AD -> +12345

UUUUThe year without any padding. Will be negative when the year is BC.

2012 AD -> 2012

UTC-5 -> -05:00:00

gEra: AD or BC

300 AD -> AD
300 BC -> BC

fffMilliseconds display

1000000 nanoseconds -> 1

ffffffMicroseconds display

1000000 nanoseconds -> 1000

fffffffffNanoseconds display

1000000 nanoseconds -> 1000000

Other strings can be inserted by putting them in ''. For example hh'->'mm will give 01->56. The following characters can be inserted without quoting them: : - ( ) / [ ] ,. A literal ' can be specified with ''.

However you don't need to necessarily separate format patterns, as an unambiguous format string like yyyyMMddhhmmss is also valid (although only for years in the range 1..9999).

Duration vs TimeInterval

The times module exports two similar types that are both used to represent some amount of time: Duration and TimeInterval. This section explains how they differ and when one should be prefered over the other (short answer: use Duration unless support for months and years is needed).

Duration

A Duration represents a duration of time stored as seconds and nanoseconds. A Duration is always fully normalized, so initDuration(hours = 1) and initDuration(minutes = 60) are equivalent.

Arithmetic with a Duration is very fast, especially when used with the Time type, since it only involves basic arithmetic. Because Duration is more performant and easier to understand it should generally preferred.

TimeInterval

A TimeInterval represents an amount of time expressed in calendar units, for example "1 year and 2 days". Since some units cannot be normalized (the length of a year is different for leap years for example), the TimeInterval type uses seperate fields for every unit. The TimeInterval's returned from this module generally don't normalize anything, so even units that could be normalized (like seconds, milliseconds and so on) are left untouched.

Arithmetic with a TimeInterval can be very slow, because it requires timezone information.

Since it's slower and more complex, the TimeInterval type should be avoided unless the program explicitly needs the features it offers that Duration doesn't have.

How long is a day?

It should be especially noted that the handling of days differs between TimeInterval and Duration. The Duration type always treats a day as exactly 86400 seconds. For TimeInterval, it's more complex.

As an example, consider the amount of time between these two timestamps, both in the same timezone:

  • 2018-03-25T12:00+02:00
  • 2018-03-26T12:00+01:00

If only the date & time is considered, it appears that exactly one day has passed. However, the UTC offsets are different, which means that the UTC offset was changed somewhere in between. This happens twice each year for timezones that use daylight savings time. Because of this change, the amount of time that has passed is actually 25 hours.

The TimeInterval type uses calendar units, and will say that exactly one day has passed. The Duration type on the other hand normalizes everything to seconds, and will therefore say that 90000 seconds has passed, which is the same as 25 hours.

Represents a time in different parts. Although this type can represent leap seconds, they are generally not supported in this module. They are not ignored, but the DateTime's returned by procedures in this module will never have a leap second.

Warning: even though the fields of DateTime are exported, they should never be mutated directly. Doing so is unsafe and will result in the DateTime ending up in an invalid state.

Instead of mutating the fields directly, use the Duration and TimeInterval types for arithmetic and use the initDateTime proc for changing a specific field.

Represents a non-fixed duration of time. Can be used to add and subtract non-fixed time units from a DateTime or Time.

Create a new TimeInterval with initTimeInterval proc.

Note that TimeInterval doesn't represent a fixed duration of time, since the duration of some units depend on the context (e.g a year can be either 365 or 366 days long). The non-fixed time units are years, months, days and week.

Note that TimeInterval's returned from the times module are never normalized. If you want to normalize a time unit, Duration should be used instead.

Create a new Timezone.

zonedTimeFromTimeImpl and zonedTimeFromAdjTimeImpl is used as the underlying implementations for zonedTimeFromTime and zonedTimeFromAdjTime.

If possible, the name parameter should match the name used in the tz database. If the timezone doesn't exist in the tz database, or if the timezone name is unknown, then any string that describes the timezone unambiguously can be used. Note that the timezones name is used for checking equality!

Examples:

proc utcTzInfo(time: Time): ZonedTime =

let utc = newTimezone("Etc/UTC", utcTzInfo, utcTzInfo)
  Source Edit

                     hours, days, weeks, months, years: int = 0): TimeInterval {...}{.
    raises: [], tags: [].}

Creates a new TimeInterval.

This proc doesn't perform any normalization! For example, initTimeInterval(hours = 24) and initTimeInterval(days = 1) are not equal.

You can also use the convenience procedures called milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and years.

proc `+`(dt: DateTime; interval: TimeInterval): DateTime {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Adds interval to dt. Components from interval are added in the order of their size, i.e. first the years component, then the months component and so on. The returned DateTime will have the same timezone as the input.

Note that when adding months, monthday overflow is allowed. This means that if the resulting month doesn't have enough days it, the month will be incremented and the monthday will be set to the number of days overflowed. So adding one month to 31 October will result in 31 November, which will overflow and result in 1 December.

Examples:

let dt = initDateTime(30, mMar, 2017, 0, 0, 0, utc())
doAssert $(dt + 1.months) == "2017-04-30T00:00:00Z"
