Date

The date crate provides a simple, easy-to-use Date struct (and corresponding macro). Date provides storage for a single Gregorian calendar date.

Date can currently store any valid calendar date between years -65,536 and -65,535, although this may change in the future if its internal representation changes.

Examples

Making a date:

use date::Date;

let date = Date::new(2012, 4, 21);

You can also use the date! macro to get a syntax resembling a date literal:

use date::date;

let date = date! { 2012-04-21 };

Overflow

Date provides an overflowing_new function that allows for overflow values (for example, February 30 or December 32), and maps them accordingly. This allows users to perform certain mathematical computations without having to do their own overflow checking.

Features

date-rs ships with the following features:

• diesel-pg: Enables interop with PostgreSQL DATE columns using Diesel.
• serde: Enables serialization and desearialization with serde. (Enabled by default.)
