Package groovy.time

package groovy.time

Classes for easily manipulating Dates and times. While java.util.Date has GDK methods for adding or subtracting days, this is not so useful for different durations of time. TimeCategory creates a simple internal DSL for manipulating dates and times in a clean and precise fashion.

Examples

  use ( TimeCategory ) {
        // application on numbers:
        println 1.minute.from.now
        println 10.days.ago

        // application on dates
        def someDate = new Date()
        println someDate - 3.months 
  }

Class	Description
BaseDuration	Deprecated. Superseded by the quirk-free DSLs: org.apache.groovy.dateutil.TimeCategory (and its java.util.Date-based duration classes) or org.apache.groovy.datetime.TimeCategory (producing java.time types).
BaseDuration.From	Helper for computing dates relative to the current time.
DatumDependentDuration	Deprecated. Superseded by org.apache.groovy.dateutil.DatumDependentDuration (the dequirked java.util.Date flavor) or java.time.Period.
Duration	Deprecated. Superseded by org.apache.groovy.dateutil.Duration (the dequirked java.util.Date flavor) or java.time.Duration/java.time.Period.
TimeCategory	Deprecated. Use one of the quirk-free replacements instead: org.apache.groovy.datetime.TimeCategory (produces java.time types) or org.apache.groovy.dateutil.TimeCategory (produces java.util.Date).
Timed<T>	An immutable holder for the outcome of a timed execution: the value produced together with the elapsed time in nanoseconds.
TimeDatumDependentDuration	Deprecated. Superseded by org.apache.groovy.dateutil.TimeDatumDependentDuration (the dequirked java.util.Date flavor) or the java.time DSL in org.apache.groovy.datetime.TimeCategory.
TimeDuration	Deprecated. Superseded by org.apache.groovy.dateutil.TimeDuration (the dequirked java.util.Date flavor) or java.time.Duration.
