dateparser

A rust library for parsing date strings in commonly used formats. Parsed date will be returned as chrono's DateTime<Utc>.

Examples

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
dateparser = "0.1.1"

And then use dateparser in your code:

use dateparser::parse;
use std::error::Error;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    let parsed = parse("6:15pm")?;
    println!("{:#?}", parsed);
    Ok(())
}

Or use str's parse method:

use dateparser::DateTimeUtc;
use std::error::Error;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    let parsed = "2021-05-14 18:51 PDT".parse::<DateTimeUtc>()?.0;
    println!("{:#?}", parsed);
    Ok(())
}

Convert returned DateTime<Utc> to pacific time zone datetime with chrono-tz:

[dependencies]
chrono-tz = "0.5.3"
dateparser = "0.1.1"

use chrono_tz::US::Pacific;
use dateparser::DateTimeUtc;
use std::error::Error;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    let parsed = "2021-05-14 18:51 PDT".parse::<DateTimeUtc>()?.0;
    println!("{:#?}", parsed.with_timezone(&Pacific));
    Ok(())
}
