pub struct DateTime(_);
Expand description

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

The latest possible date that can be represented in BSON.

The earliest possible date that can be represented in BSON.

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

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

Available on crate feature chrono-0_4 only.

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

Available 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)

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

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.

Available on crate feature time-0_3 only.

Convert this DateTime to a time::OffsetDateTime.

Note: Not every BSON datetime can be represented as a time::OffsetDateTime. For such dates, time::PrimitiveDateTime::MIN or time::PrimitiveDateTime::MAX will be returned, whichever is closer.

let bson_dt = bson::DateTime::now();
let time_dt = bson_dt.to_time_0_3();
assert_eq!(bson_dt.timestamp_millis() / 1000, time_dt.unix_timestamp());

let big = bson::DateTime::from_millis(i64::MIN);
let time_big = big.to_time_0_3();
assert_eq!(time_big, time::PrimitiveDateTime::MIN.assume_utc())

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.

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

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

👎 Deprecated since 2.3.0:

Use try_to_rfc3339_string instead.

Convert this DateTime to an RFC 3339 formatted string. Panics if it could not be represented in that format.

Convert this DateTime to an RFC 3339 formatted string.

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