Struct bson::datetime::DateTime

pub struct DateTime(_);

Struct representing a BSON datetime. Note: BSON datetimes have millisecond precision.

To enable conversions between this type and chrono::DateTime, enable the "chrono-0_4" feature flag in your Cargo.toml.

use chrono::prelude::*;
let chrono_dt: chrono::DateTime<Utc> = "2014-11-28T12:00:09Z".parse()?;
let bson_dt: bson::DateTime = chrono_dt.into();
let bson_dt = bson::DateTime::from_chrono(chrono_dt);
let back_to_chrono: chrono::DateTime<Utc> = bson_dt.into();
let back_to_chrono = bson_dt.to_chrono();

This type differs from chrono::DateTime in that it serializes to and deserializes from a BSON datetime rather than an RFC 3339 formatted string. Additionally, in non-BSON formats, it will serialize to and deserialize from that format’s equivalent of the extended JSON representation of a datetime. To serialize a chrono::DateTime as a BSON datetime, you can use crate::serde_helpers::chrono_datetime_as_bson_datetime.

use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct Foo {
    // serializes as a BSON datetime.
    date_time: bson::DateTime,

    // serializes as an RFC 3339 / ISO-8601 string.
    chrono_datetime: chrono::DateTime<chrono::Utc>,

    // serializes as a BSON datetime.
    // this requires the "chrono-0_4" feature flag
    #[serde(with = "bson::serde_helpers::chrono_datetime_as_bson_datetime")]
    chrono_as_bson: chrono::DateTime<chrono::Utc>,
}

The serde_with feature flag

The serde_with feature can be enabled to support more ergonomic serde attributes for (de)serializing chrono::DateTime from/to BSON via the serde_with crate. The main benefit of this compared to the regular serde_helpers is that serde_with can handle nested chrono::DateTime values (e.g. in Option), whereas the former only works on fields that are exactly chrono::DateTime.

use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use bson::doc;

#[serde_with::serde_as]
#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize, PartialEq, Debug)]
struct Foo {
  /// Serializes as a BSON datetime rather than using `chrono::DateTime`'s serialization
  #[serde_as(as = "Option<bson::DateTime>")]
  as_bson: Option<chrono::DateTime<chrono::Utc>>,
}

let dt = chrono::Utc::now();
let foo = Foo {
  as_bson: Some(dt),
};

let expected = doc! {
  "as_bson": bson::DateTime::from_chrono(dt),
};

assert_eq!(bson::to_document(&foo)?, expected);

Implementations

impl DateTime

pub const MAX: Self = Self::from_millis(i64::MAX)

The latest possible date that can be represented in BSON.

pub const MIN: Self = Self::from_millis(i64::MIN)

The earliest possible date that can be represented in BSON.

pub const fn from_millis(date: i64) -> Self

Makes a new DateTime from the number of non-leap milliseconds since January 1, 1970 0:00:00 UTC (aka “UNIX timestamp”).

pub fn now() -> DateTime

Returns a DateTime which corresponds to the current date and time.

pub fn from_chrono<T: TimeZone>(dt: DateTime<T>) -> Self

This is supported on crate feature chrono-0_4 only.

Convert the given chrono::DateTime into a bson::DateTime, truncating it to millisecond precision.

pub fn to_chrono(self) -> DateTime<Utc>

This is supported on crate feature chrono-0_4 only.

Convert this DateTime to a chrono::DateTime<Utc>.

Note: Not every BSON datetime can be represented as a chrono::DateTime. For such dates, chrono::MIN_DATETIME or chrono::MAX_DATETIME will be returned, whichever is closer.

let bson_dt = bson::DateTime::now();
let chrono_dt = bson_dt.to_chrono();
assert_eq!(bson_dt.timestamp_millis(), chrono_dt.timestamp_millis());

let big = bson::DateTime::from_millis(i64::MAX);
let chrono_big = big.to_chrono();
assert_eq!(chrono_big, chrono::MAX_DATETIME)

pub fn from_system_time(st: SystemTime) -> Self

Convert the given std::time::SystemTime to a DateTime.

If the provided time is too far in the future or too far in the past to be represented by a BSON datetime, either DateTime::MAX or DateTime::MIN will be returned, whichever is closer.

pub fn to_system_time(self) -> SystemTime

Convert this DateTime to a std::time::SystemTime.

pub const fn timestamp_millis(self) -> i64

Returns the number of non-leap-milliseconds since January 1, 1970 UTC.

pub fn to_rfc3339_string(self) -> String

Convert this DateTime to an RFC 3339 formatted string.

pub fn parse_rfc3339_str(s: impl AsRef<str>) -> Result<Self>

Convert the given RFC 3339 formatted string to a DateTime, truncating it to millisecond precision.
