Struct DateParser 

pub struct DateParser {}

Container for parsing dates from string slices.

Implementations

impl DateParser

pub fn parse(text: &str) -> Option<NaiveDate>

Parses a string slice of natural language text with respect to the current date. Returns a NaiveDate if a match is found, None otherwise.

Arguments

• text - A string slice that holds the the text to be parsed

Example

use chrono::{prelude::*, Duration, Local, NaiveDate, NaiveDateTime, Weekday};
use date_time_parser::{DateParser, Recognizable};

let year = Local::now().year();
let date = DateParser::parse("July 4 2020");

assert_eq!(date, Some(NaiveDate::from_ymd(year, 7, 4)));

pub fn parse_relative(text: &str, now: NaiveDate) -> Option<NaiveDate>

Parses a string slice of natural language text with respect to a given date. Returns a NaiveDate if a match is found, None otherwise.

Arguments

• text - A string slice that holds the the text to be parsed
• now - A NaiveDate to interpret the natural language date around

Example

use chrono::{prelude::*, Duration, Local, NaiveDate, NaiveDateTime, Weekday};
use date_time_parser::{DateParser, Recognizable};

let year = Local::now().year();
let date = DateParser::parse_relative("July 4", Utc::now().date().naive_utc());

assert_eq!(date, Some(NaiveDate::from_ymd(year, 7, 4)));
