DA.Date

This module provides a set of functions to manipulate Date values. The bounds for Date are 0001-01-01T00:00:00.000000Z and 9999-12-31T23:59:59.999999Z.

Data Types

data DayOfWeek

data Month

The Month type represents a month in the Gregorian calendar.

Note that, while Month has an Enum instance, the toEnum and fromEnum functions start counting at 0, i.e. toEnum 1 :: Month is Feb.

Functions

addDays

: Date -> Int -> Date

Add the given number of days to a date.

subtractDays

: Date -> Int -> Date

Subtract the given number of days from a date.

subtractDays d r is equivalent to addDays d (- r).

subDate

: Date -> Date -> Int

Returns the number of days between the two given dates.

dayOfWeek

: Date -> DayOfWeek

Returns the day of week for the given date.

fromGregorian

: (Int, Month, Int) -> Date

Constructs a Date from the triplet (year, month, days).

toGregorian

: Date -> (Int, Month, Int)

Turn Date value into a (year, month, day) triple, according to the Gregorian calendar.

date

: Int -> Month -> Int -> Date

Given the three values (year, month, day), constructs a Date value. date y m d turns the year y, month m, and day d into a Date value. Raises an error if d is outside the range 1 .. monthDayCount y m.

isLeapYear

: Int -> Bool

Returns True if the given year is a leap year.

fromMonth

: Month -> Int

Get the number corresponding to given month. For example, Jan corresponds to 1, Feb corresponds to 2, and so on.

monthDayCount

: Int -> Month -> Int

Get number of days in the given month in the given year, according to Gregorian calendar. This does not take historical calendar changes into account (for example, the moves from Julian to Gregorian calendar), but does count leap years.

datetime

: Int -> Month -> Int -> Int -> Int -> Int -> Time

Constructs an instant using year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds.

toDateUTC

: Time -> Date

Extracts UTC date from UTC time.

This function will truncate Time to Date, but in many cases it will not return the date you really want. The reason for this is that usually the source of Time would be getTime, and getTime returns UTC, and most likely the date you want is something local to a location or an exchange. Consequently the date retrieved this way would be yesterday if retrieved when the market opens in say Singapore.
