times

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.

Pattern	Description	Example
d	Numeric value representing the day of the month, it will be either one or two digits long.	1/04/2012 -> 1 21/04/2012 -> 21
dd	Same as above, but is always two digits.	1/04/2012 -> 01 21/04/2012 -> 21
ddd	Three letter string which indicates the day of the week.	Saturday -> Sat Monday -> Mon
dddd	Full string for the day of the week.	Saturday -> Saturday Monday -> Monday
h	The hours in one digit if possible. Ranging from 1-12.	5pm -> 5 2am -> 2
hh	The hours in two digits always. If the hour is one digit, 0 is prepended.	5pm -> 05 11am -> 11
H	The hours in one digit if possible, ranging from 0-23.	5pm -> 17 2am -> 2
HH	The hours in two digits always. 0 is prepended if the hour is one digit.	5pm -> 17 2am -> 02
m	The minutes in one digit if possible.	5:30 -> 30 2:01 -> 1
mm	Same as above but always two digits, 0 is prepended if the minute is one digit.	5:30 -> 30 2:01 -> 01
M	The month in one digit if possible.	September -> 9 December -> 12
MM	The month in two digits always. 0 is prepended if the month value is one digit.	September -> 09 December -> 12
MMM	Abbreviated three-letter form of the month.	September -> Sep December -> Dec
MMMM	Full month string, properly capitalized.	September -> September
s	Seconds as one digit if possible.	00:00:06 -> 6
ss	Same as above but always two digits. 0 is prepended if the second is one digit.	00:00:06 -> 06
t	A when time is in the AM. P when time is in the PM.	5pm -> P 2am -> A
tt	Same as above, but AM and PM instead of A and P respectively.	5pm -> PM 2am -> AM
yy	The last two digits of the year. When parsing, the current century is assumed.	2012 AD -> 12
yyyy	The 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
YYYY	The year without any padding. Is always positive, even when the year is BC.	2012 AD -> 2012 24 AD -> 24 24 BC -> 24 12345 AD -> 12345
uuuu	The year, padded to at least four digits. Will be negative when the year is BC. When the year is more than four digits, '+' is prepended unless the year is BC.	2012 AD -> 2012 24 AD -> 0024 24 BC -> -0023 12345 AD -> +12345
UUUU	The year without any padding. Will be negative when the year is BC.	2012 AD -> 2012 24 AD -> 24 24 BC -> -23 12345 AD -> 12345
z	Displays the timezone offset from UTC.	UTC+7 -> +7 UTC-5 -> -5
zz	Same as above but with leading 0.	UTC+7 -> +07 UTC-5 -> -05
zzz	Same as above but with :mm where mm represents minutes.	UTC+7 -> +07:00 UTC-5 -> -05:00
zzzz	Same as above but with :ss where ss represents seconds.	UTC+7 -> +07:00:00 UTC-5 -> -05:00:00
g	Era: AD or BC	300 AD -> AD 300 BC -> BC
fff	Milliseconds display	1000000 nanoseconds -> 1
ffffff	Microseconds display	1000000 nanoseconds -> 1000
fffffffff	Nanoseconds 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 preferred 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 separate 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.

  Nanoseconds, Microseconds, Milliseconds, Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks,
  Months, Years

Different units of time. Source Edit

FixedTimeUnit = range[Nanoseconds .. Weeks]

Subrange of TimeUnit that only includes units of fixed duration. These are the units that can be represented by a Duration. Source Edit

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.

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.

Example:

let dt = initDateTime(30, mMar, 2017, 00, 00, 00, utc())
doAssert $(dt + 1.months) == "2017-04-30T00:00:00Z"
# This is correct and happens due to monthday overflow.
doAssert $(dt - 1.months) == "2017-03-02T00:00:00Z"

Source Edit

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

Subtract interval from dt. Components from interval are subtracted 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.

Example:

let dt = initDateTime(30, mMar, 2017, 00, 00, 00, utc())
doAssert $(dt - 5.days) == "2017-03-25T00:00:00Z"

Source Edit

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

Adds interval to time. If interval contains any years, months, weeks or days the operation is performed in the local timezone.

doAssert tm + 5.seconds == fromUnix(5)

Source Edit

proc `-`(time: Time; interval: TimeInterval): Time {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

proc epochTime(): float {...}{.tags: [TimeEffect], raises: [].}

Gets time after the UNIX epoch (1970) in seconds. It is a float because sub-second resolution is likely to be supported (depending on the hardware/OS).

getTime should generally be preferred over this proc.

Source Edit

proc cpuTime(): float {...}{.tags: [TimeEffect], raises: [].}

Gets time spent that the CPU spent to run the current process in seconds. This may be more useful for benchmarking than epochTime. However, it may measure the real time instead (depending on the OS). The value of the result has no meaning. To generate useful timing values, take the difference between the results of two cpuTime calls:

Example:

var t0 = cpuTime()
# some useless work here (calculate fibonacci)
var fib = @[0, 1, 1]
for i in 1..10:
  fib.add(fib[^1] + fib[^2])
echo "CPU time [s] ", cpuTime() - t0
echo "Fib is [s] ", fib
