Crate dtparse[−][src]
dtparse
The fully-featured "even I couldn't understand that" time parser. Designed to take in strings and give back sensible dates and times.
dtparse has its foundations in the dateutil
library for
Python, which excels at taking "interesting" strings and trying to make
sense of the dates and times they contain. A couple of quick examples
from the test cases should give some context:
use chrono::prelude::*; use dtparse::parse; assert_eq!( parse("2008.12.30"), Ok((NaiveDate::from_ymd(2008, 12, 30).and_hms(0, 0, 0), None)) ); // It can even handle timezones! assert_eq!( parse("January 4, 2024; 18:30:04 +02:00"), Ok(( NaiveDate::from_ymd(2024, 1, 4).and_hms(18, 30, 4), Some(FixedOffset::east(7200)) )) );
And we can even handle fuzzy strings where dates/times aren't the only content if we dig into the implementation a bit!
use chrono::prelude::*; use dtparse::Parser; let mut p = Parser::default(); assert_eq!( p.parse( "I first released this library on the 17th of June, 2018.", None, None, true /* turns on fuzzy mode */, true /* gives us the tokens that weren't recognized */, None, false, &HashMap::new() ), Ok(( NaiveDate::from_ymd(2018, 6, 17).and_hms(0, 0, 0), None, Some(vec!["I first released this library on the ", " of ", ", "].iter().map(|&s| s.into()).collect()) )) );
Further examples can be found in the examples
directory on international usage.
