[](https://crates.io/crates/ptime) [](https://docs.rs/ptime/0.1.1/ptime) [](https://travis-ci.org/yaa110/rust-persian-calendar) [](https://github.com/yaa110/go-persian-calendar/blob/master/LICENSE)
**Rust Persian Calendar v0.1.1** provides functionality for conversion among Persian (Solar Hijri) and Gregorian calendars. A Julian calendar is used as an interface for all conversions. The crate name is `ptime` and it is compatible with the crate [time](https://crates.io/crates/time). This source code is licensed under MIT license that can be found in the LICENSE file.
## Installation
Add `ptime = "0.1"` to `dependencies` section of `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
time = "0.1"
ptime = "0.1"
```
## Getting started
1- Import the crate `ptime`. Most of the time you need to import `time` crate, too.
```rust
extern crate ptime;
extern crate time;
```
2- Convert Gregorian calendar to Persian calendar.
```rust
let p_tm = ptime::from_gregorian_date(2016, 2, 21).unwrap();
assert_eq!(p_tm.tm_year, 1395);
assert_eq!(p_tm.tm_mon, 0);
assert_eq!(p_tm.tm_mday, 2);
```
3- Convert Persian calendar to Gregorian calendar.
```rust
let g_tm = ptime::from_persian_date(1395, 0, 2).unwrap().to_gregorian();
assert_eq!(g_tm.tm_year, 2016);
assert_eq!(g_tm.tm_mon, 2);
assert_eq!(g_tm.tm_mday, 21);
```
4- Get the current time.
```rust
let p_tm = ptime::now();
println!("Current time: {}", p_tm);
let p_tm_utc = ptime::now_utc();
println!("Current time at UTC: {}", p_tm_utc);
```
5- Format the time.
```rust
let p_tm = ptime::from_gregorian(time::now());
println!("{}", p_tm.to_string("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.ns"));
/// yyyy, yyy, y year (e.g. 1394)
/// yy 2-digits representation of year (e.g. 94)
/// MMM the Persian name of month (e.g. فروردین)
/// MM 2-digits representation of month (e.g. 01)
/// M month (e.g. 1)
/// DD day of year (starting from 1)
/// D day of year (starting from 0)
/// dd 2-digits representation of day (e.g. 01)
/// d day (e.g. 1)
/// E the Persian name of weekday (e.g. شنبه)
/// e the Persian short name of weekday (e.g. ش)
/// A the Persian name of 12-Hour marker (e.g. قبل از ظهر)
/// a the Persian short name of 12-Hour marker (e.g. ق.ظ)
/// HH 2-digits representation of hour [00-23]
/// H hour [0-23]
/// kk 2-digits representation of hour [01-24]
/// k hour [1-24]
/// hh 2-digits representation of hour [01-12]
/// h hour [1-12]
/// KK 2-digits representation of hour [00-11]
/// K hour [0-11]
/// mm 2-digits representation of minute [00-59]
/// m minute [0-59]
/// ss 2-digits representation of seconds [00-59]
/// s seconds [0-59]
/// ns nanoseconds
