timere 0.4.0 · OCaml Package

type timestamp = Timedesc.timestamp

type t

This is the core type of Timere that represents sets of points in time, more precisely, unions of time intervals. For example, "all Mondays of year 2000 at the UTC timezone".

We call Timere.t values "timere object"; internally they are rich expressions representing the time computations (union, intersection, etc.), lazily forced into more low-level descriptions (lazy sequences of intervals).

type 'a range = [

| `Range_inc of 'a * 'a
| `Range_exc of 'a * 'a

]

Basic constructors

val now : unit -> t

Time right now

val always : t

Entire interval that Timere can handle, i.e. [0000 Jan 01 14:00:00 +00:00:00, 9999 Dec 31 09:59:58 +00:00:00)

val empty : t

Empty interval

val pattern : 
  ?years:int list ->
  ?year_ranges:int range list ->
  ?months:int list ->
  ?month_ranges:int range list ->
  ?days:int list ->
  ?day_ranges:int range list ->
  ?weekdays:Timedesc.weekday list ->
  ?weekday_ranges:Timedesc.weekday range list ->
  ?hours:int list ->

  ?minutes:int list ->

  t

Pattern matches over date times.

A pattern p matches date time dt if

(dt.year is in p.years or p.year_ranges)
&& (dt.month is in p.months or p.month_ranges)
&& (dt.month_day is in p.month_days or p.month_day_ranges)
&& (dt.weekday is in p.weekdays or p.weekday_ranges)
&& (dt.hour is in p.hours or p.hour_ranges)
&& (dt.minute is in p.minutes or p.minute_ranges)
&& (dt.second is in p.seconds or p.second_ranges)

Empty pattern levels are treated as wildcard, e.g. if p.years and p.year_ranges are both empty, then (dt.year is in p.years or p.year_ranges) is true.

Pattern matching

Pattern matching intervals are designed to handle intervals where start and end points follow some pattern, but cannot be captured by pattern efficiently, e.g. you cannot represent "5:30pm to 6:11pm" via a single pattern

module Points : sig ... end

type points = Points.t

val bounded_intervals : 
  [ `Whole | `Snd ] ->
  Timedesc.Span.t ->
  points ->
  points ->
  t

bounded_intervals mode bound p1 p2 for each point x matched by p1, then for the earliest point y matched by p2 such that x < y && y - x <= bound

if mode = `Whole, yields (x, y)
if mode = `Snd, yields (y, y + 1)

Examples:

bounded_intervals `Whole (Span.For_human.make ~days:1 ())
  (make_points ~hour:13 ~minute:0 ~second:0 ()) (* p1 *)
  (make_points ~hour:14 ~minute:0 ~second:0 ()) (* p2 *)

yields all the "1pm to 2pm" intervals, since at each "1pm" mark represented by p1, searching forward up to 24 hour period, we can find a "2pm" mark in p2

bounded_intervals `Whole (Span.For_human.make ~days:1 ())
  (make_points ~month:2 ~day:10 ~hour:13 ~minute:0 ~second:0 ()) (* p1 *)
  (make_points                  ~hour:14 ~minute:0 ~second:0 ()) (* p2 *)

yields all the "Feb 10th 1pm to 2pm" intervals (or specifically "Feb 10th 1pm to Feb 10th 2pm")

bounded_intervals `Whole (Span.For_human.make ~days:1 ())
  (make_points ~month:`Feb ~day:10 ~hour:23 ~minute:0 ~second:0 ()) (* p1 *)
  (make_points                     ~hour:3  ~minute:0 ~second:0 ()) (* p2 *)

yields all the "Feb 10th 11pm to 3am" intervals (or specifically "Feb 10th 11pm to Feb 11th 3am")

raises Invalid_argument
if bound is negative

raises Invalid_argument
if precision (number of date time arguments passed to make_points during construction) of p1 < precision of p2
For example, make_points_exn ~hour:3 ~minute:0 ~second:0 () has a lower precision than make_points_exn ~day:10 ~hour:12 ~minute:30 ~second:0 ()

Hour minute second intervals

Convenience wrappers around points and bounded_intervals

module Hms : sig ... end

val hms_intervals_inc : Hms.t -> Hms.t -> t

Same as hms_intervals_exc ... with end point increased by one second

val hms_intervals_exc : Hms.t -> Hms.t -> t

Same as bounded_intervals ... with bound fixed to Span.For_human.make ~days:1 ()

Chunking

type chunked

type chunking = [

| `Disjoint_intervals
| `By_duration of Timedesc.Span.t
| `By_duration_drop_partial of Timedesc.Span.t
| `At_year_boundary
| `At_month_boundary

]

Ways to chunk/slice time intervals for the selector.

`Disjoint_intervals gives a sequence of disjoint intervals to the selector, specifically they are in ascending order, non-overlapping, non-connecting, and unique
`By_duration slices in the fixed size specified by the duration. Partial chunks (chunks less than the fixed size) are preserved.
`By_duration_drop_partial slices in the fixed size specified by the duration. Partial chunks (chunks less than the fixed size) are discarded.
`At_year_boundary slices at the year boundary (e.g. 2021 Jan 1st 00:00:00)
`At_month_boundary slices at the month boundary (e.g. Aug 1st 00:00:00)

val chunk : chunking -> (chunked -> chunked) -> t -> t

chunk chunking f t applies chunked selector f on t.

raises Invalid_argument
if duration is negative in `By_duration or `By_duration_drop_partial

Chunked selectors

You may find (%>) useful for chaining selectors together, e.g. drop 5 %> take 2

val chunk_again : chunking -> chunked -> chunked

chunk_again chunking f applies chunked selector f as a selector

val first : chunked -> chunked

Takes only first chunk

val take : int -> chunked -> chunked

Takes n chunks

val take_nth : int -> chunked -> chunked

Take every nth chunk, specifically 0th, nth, 2nth, 3nth, ...

val drop : int -> chunked -> chunked

Discard n chunks

Infix operators

val (&) : t -> t -> t

inter

val (|||) : t -> t -> t

union

val (%>) : ('a -> 'b) -> ('b -> 'c) -> 'a -> 'c

Composition, mainly for chunked selectors

f1 %> f2 is equivalent to fun x -> x |> f1 |> f2.

Resolution

val resolve : 
  ?search_using_tz:Timedesc.Time_zone.t ->
  t ->
  (Timedesc.Interval.t Seq.t, string) result

Resolves a Timere object into a concrete interval sequence

S-expressions

These functions are suitable for debugging, serializing and deserializing timeres.

The sexp is a precise description of the steps used to construct a timere. As such deserialization is accurate and goes through the exact same construction steps (including validation) as one would using the construction API directly.

val to_sexp : t -> CCSexp.t

val to_sexp_string : t -> string

val of_sexp : CCSexp.t -> (t, string) result

val of_sexp_string : string -> (t, string) result

val pp_sexp : Format.formatter -> t -> unit
