day

Int day()

Get the day of the month as a number between 1 and 31.

dayOfYear

Int dayOfYear()

Return the day of the year as a number between 1 and 365 (or 1 to 366 if a leap year).

defVal

const static Date defVal := Date.<ctor>(2000, Month.vals[0], 1)

Default value is "2000-01-01".

equals

virtual override Bool equals(Obj? that)

Two dates are equal if have the same year, month, and day.

firstOfMonth

Date firstOfMonth()

Get the first day of this Date's current month.

Example:

Date("2009-10-28").firstOfMonth  =>  2009-10-01
fromIso

static Date? fromIso(Str s, Bool checked := true)

Parse an ISO 8601 date. If invalid format and checked is false return null, otherwise throw ParseErr. The following format is supported:

YYYY-MM-DD

Also see toIso and fromStr.

fromLocale

static Date? fromLocale(Str str, Str pattern, Bool checked := true)

Parse a string into a Date using the given pattern. If string is not a valid format then return null or raise ParseErr based on checked flag. See toLocale for pattern syntax.

fromStr

static new fromStr(Str s, Bool checked := true)

Parse the string into a Date from the programmatic encoding defined by toStr. If the string cannot be parsed into a valid Date and checked is false then return null, otherwise throw ParseErr.

hash

virtual override Int hash()

Return hash of year, month, and day.

isToday

Bool isToday()

Return is this date equal to today.

isTomorrow

Bool isTomorrow()

Return is this date equal to today + 1day.

isYesterday

Bool isYesterday()

Return is this date equal to today - 1day.

lastOfMonth

Date lastOfMonth()

Get the last day of this Date's current month.

make

new make(Int year, Month month, Int day)

Make for the specified date values:

  • year: no restriction (although only 1901-2099 maps to DateTime)

  • day: 1-31

Throw ArgErr is any of the parameters are out of range.

midnight

DateTime midnight(TimeZone tz := TimeZone.cur())

Date(2008, Month.feb, 28) - 2day  =>  2008-02-26
minusDate

@Operator
Duration minusDate(Date days)

Return the delta between this and the given date. The result is always an exact multiple of 24 hour days.

Date(2009, Month.jan, 5) - Date(2009, Month.jan, 2)  =>  3day
month

Month month()

Get the month of this date.

plus

toDateTime

DateTime toDateTime(TimeOfDay t, TimeZone tz := TimeZone.cur())
