This module implements a small and simple object for representing a moment in
time. Its scope is intentionally limited to the kind of applications that
require very basic date and time functionality with minimal overhead. A
typical example would be a CGI script or library generating a timestamp for a
cookie, printing out a "last modified" date at the bottom of a web page, or
adding a time stamp to a log file message without having the remember the
right incantation to pass to strftime().
For any non-trivial date manipulation you should almost certainly be using the most excellent DateTime modules instead.
The goals of this implementation are:
time(), localtime(), strftime(), etc). The module is derived from the Template Toolkit date plugin. It was moved out into stand-alone module in 2006 for use in various commercial projects. It was made fully generic and moved into the Badger fold in January 2009.
Please note that this documentation may be incorrect or incomplete in places.
This are shortcut aliases to Badger::Timestamp.
use Badger::Timestamp 'TS';
my $ts = TS->new(); # same as Badger::Timestamp->new();
This subroutine returns the name of the Badger::Timestamp class when called
without arguments. Thus it can be used as an alias for Badger::Timestamp
as per TS.
use Badger::Timestamp 'Timestamp';
my $ts = Timestamp->new(); # same as Badger::Timestamp->new();
When called with arguments, it creates a new Badger::Timestamp object.
my $ts = Timestamp($date); # same as Badger::Timestamp->new($date);
Returns a Badger::Timestamp for the current time.
Constructor method to create a new Badger::Timestamp object
from a timestamp string or seconds since the epoch.
The timestamp should be specified as a date and time separated by a single
space or upper case T. The date should contain 4 digits for the year and
two for each of the month and day separated by any non-numerical characters.
The time is comprised of two digits for each of the hours, minutes and seconds,
also separated by any non-numerical characters.
# examples of valid formats
my $stamp = Badger::Timestamp->new('2006-03-19 04:20:42');
my $stamp = Badger::Timestamp->new('2006-03-19T04:20:42');
my $stamp = Badger::Timestamp->new('2006/03/19 04:20:42');
my $stamp = Badger::Timestamp->new('2006/03/19T04:20:42');
The Badger::Timestamp module converts these to the canonical form
of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
my $stamp = Badger::Timestamp->new('2006/03/19T04.20.42');
print $stamp; # 2006-03-19 04:20:42
You can also construct a Badger::Timestamp object by specifying the
number of seconds since the epoch. This is the value return by system
functions like time() and used for file creation/modification times.
my $stamp = Badger::Timestamp->new(time());
Or can can pass it an existing Badger::Timestamp object.
my $stamp2 = Badger::Timestamp->new($stamp);
If you don't specify any argument then you get the current system time as
returned by time().
my $now = Badger::Timestamp->new;
Returns a Badger::Timestamp object representing the current date and
time.
Returns a new Badger::Timestamp object creates as a copy of the
current one.
my $copy = $stamp->copy;
This can be useful for making adjustments to a timestamp without affecting the original object.
my $later = $stamp->copy->adjust( months => 3 );
Returns the complete timestamp in canonical form.
print $stamp->timestamp(); # 2006-03-19 04:20:42
This method is called automatically whenever the object is used as a string value.
print $stamp; # 2006-03-19 04:20:42
Returns a formatted version of the timestamp, generated using the POSIX strftime function.
print $stamp->format('%d-%b-%y');
Returns the date component of the timestamp.
print $stamp->date(); # 2006-03-19
Returns the year.
print $stamp->year(); # 2006
Can also be called with an argument to change the year.
$stamp->year(2007);
Returns the month.
print $stamp->month(); # 03
Can also be called with an argument to change the yonth.
$stamp->month(04);
Returns the day.
print $stamp->day(); # 19
Can also be called with an argument to change the day.
$stamp->day(20);
Returns the number of days in the current month. Accounts correctly for leap years.
Returns a true value (1) if the year is a leap year, a false value (0) if not.
Returns the time component of the timestamp.
print $stamp->time(); # 04:20:42
Returns the hours.
print $stamp->hours(); # 04
Can also be called with an argument to change the hours.
$stamp->hours(05);
Returns the minutes.
print $stamp->minutes(); # 20
Can also be called with an argument to change the minutes.
$stamp->minutes(21);
Returns the seconds.
print $stamp->seconds(); # 42
Can also be called with an argument to change the seconds.
$stamp->seconds(42);
Returns the timestamp object as the number of seconds since the epoch time.
Returns a true value (1) if the date is before the date passed as an argument, a false value (0) otherwise.
The method can be passed another Badger::Timestamp object to compare
against or an argument or arguments from which a Badger::Timestamp object
can be constructed. If no arguments are passed then it defaults to a
comparison against the current time.
my $date = Badger::Timestamp->new('2009-01-10 04:20:00');
$date->before($another_date_object);
$date->before('2009-04-20 04:20:00');
$date->before($epoch_seconds);
$date->before; # before now
Returns a true value (1) if the date is after the date passed as an argument, a false value (0) otherwise. See before(),
Returns -1 if the date is before the date passed as an argument, 1 if it's after, or 0 if it's equal. See before() and after for examples of the arguments that it accepts.
Method to adjust the timestamp by a fixed amount or amounts.
# positive adjustment
$date->adjust( months => 6, years => 1 );
# negative adjustment
$date->adjust( months => -18, hours => -200 );
Named parameters can be passed as arguments or via a hash reference.
$date->adjust( months => -18, hours => -200 ); # naked
$date->adjust({ months => -18, hours => -200 }); # clothed
You can specify units using singular (second, hour, month, etc) or plural (seconds, hours, minutes, etc) keys. The method will correctly handle values outside the usual ranges. For example, you can specify a change of 18 months, -200 hours, -99 seconds, and so on.
A single non-reference argument is assumed to be a duration which is converted to a number of seconds via the duration() method.
Returns the number of seconds in a duration. A single numerical argument is assumed to be a number of seconds and is returned unchanged.
$date->adjust(300); # 300 seconds
A single non-numerical argument should have a suffix indicating the units.
In "compact form" this is a single letter. We use lower case m for
minutes and upper case M for months.
$date->adjust("300s"); # or "300 seconds"
$date->adjust("90m"); # or "90 minutes"
$date->adjust("3h"); # or "3 hours"
$date->adjust("2d"); # or "2 days"
$date->adjust("6M"); # or "6 months"
$date->adjust("5y"); # or "5 years"
Alternately you can spell the units out in full as shown in the right column above. However, we only look at the first character of the following word so you can write all sorts of nonsense which we will dutifully accept without complaint.
$date->adjust("5 sheep"); # 5 seconds
$date->adjust("9 men"); # 9 minutes
$date->adjust("3 yaks"); # 3 years
For the sake of convenience, the method will automatically convert the
word month into Month so that the first letter is correctly capitalised.
Splits a timestamp into its constituent parts.
Joins the constituent parts of a date back into a timestamp.
Removes any internally cached items. This is called automatically whenever the timestamp is modified.
