The DateTools class contains some extra functionalities for handling Date instances and timestamps.

Static methods

staticinlinedays(n:Float):Float

Converts a number of days to a timestamp.

staticinlinedelta(d:Date, t:Float):Date

Returns the result of adding timestamp t to Date d.

This is a convenience function for calling Date.fromTime(d.getTime() + t).

staticformat(d:Date, f:String):String

Format the date d according to the format f. The format is compatible with the strftime standard format, except that there is no support in Flash and JS for day and months names (due to lack of proper internationalization API). On Haxe/Neko/Windows, some formats are not supported.

var t = DateTools.format(Date.now(), "%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S");
// 2016-07-08_14:44:05

var t = DateTools.format(Date.now(), "%r");
// 02:44:05 PM

var t = DateTools.format(Date.now(), "%T");
// 14:44:05

var t = DateTools.format(Date.now(), "%F");
// 2016-07-08

staticgetMonthDays(d:Date):Int

Returns the number of days in the month of Date d.

This method handles leap years.

staticinlinehours(n:Float):Float

Converts a number of hours to a timestamp.

Build a date-time from several components

Available on php, js, cpp, python, flash

Retrieve Unix timestamp value from Date components. Takes same argument sequence as the Date constructor.

staticinlineminutes(n:Float):Float

Converts a number of minutes to a timestamp.

staticparse(t:Float):{seconds:Int, ms:Float, minutes:Int, hours:Int, days:Int}

Separate a date-time into several components

staticinlineseconds(n:Float):Float
