Struct Local 

pub struct Local;

The local timescale.

Using the TimeZone methods on the Local struct is the preferred way to construct DateTime<Local> instances.

Example

use chrono::{DateTime, Local, TimeZone};

let dt1: DateTime<Local> = Local::now();
let dt2: DateTime<Local> = Local.timestamp_opt(0, 0).unwrap();
assert!(dt1 >= dt2);

Implementations

impl Local

pub fn today() -> Date<Local>

👎Deprecated since 0.4.23:

use Local::now() instead

Returns a Date which corresponds to the current date.

pub fn now() -> DateTime<Local>

Returns a DateTime<Local> which corresponds to the current date, time and offset from UTC.

See also the similar Utc::now() which returns DateTime<Utc>, i.e. without the local offset.

Example

// Current local time
let now = Local::now();

// Current local date
let today = now.date_naive();

// Current local time, converted to `DateTime<FixedOffset>`
let now_fixed_offset = Local::now().fixed_offset();
// or
let now_fixed_offset: DateTime<FixedOffset> = Local::now().into();

// Current time in some timezone (let's use +05:00)
// Note that it is usually more efficient to use `Utc::now` for this use case.
let offset = FixedOffset::east_opt(5 * 60 * 60).unwrap();
let now_with_offset = Local::now().with_timezone(&offset);

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Local

fn clone(&self) -> Local

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for Local

impl Debug for Local

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl TimeZone for Local

type Offset = FixedOffset

An associated offset type. This type is used to store the actual offset in date and time types. The original TimeZone value can be recovered via TimeZone::from_offset.

fn from_offset(_offset: &FixedOffset) -> Local

Reconstructs the time zone from the offset.

fn offset_from_local_date(&self, local: &NaiveDate) -> LocalResult<FixedOffset>

Creates the offset(s) for given local NaiveDate if possible.

fn offset_from_local_datetime( &self, local: &NaiveDateTime, ) -> LocalResult<FixedOffset>

Creates the offset(s) for given local NaiveDateTime if possible.

fn offset_from_utc_date(&self, utc: &NaiveDate) -> FixedOffset

Creates the offset for given UTC NaiveDate. This cannot fail.

fn offset_from_utc_datetime(&self, utc: &NaiveDateTime) -> FixedOffset

Creates the offset for given UTC NaiveDateTime. This cannot fail.

👎Deprecated since 0.4.23:

use with_ymd_and_hms() instead

👎Deprecated since 0.4.23:

use with_ymd_and_hms() instead

fn yo(&self, year: i32, ordinal: u32) -> Date<Self>

👎Deprecated since 0.4.23:

use from_local_datetime() with a NaiveDateTime instead

Makes a new Date from year, day of year (DOY or “ordinal”) and the current time zone. This assumes the proleptic Gregorian calendar, with the year 0 being 1 BCE.

fn yo_opt(&self, year: i32, ordinal: u32) -> LocalResult<Date<Self>>

👎Deprecated since 0.4.23:

use from_local_datetime() with a NaiveDateTime instead

Makes a new Date from year, day of year (DOY or “ordinal”) and the current time zone. This assumes the proleptic Gregorian calendar, with the year 0 being 1 BCE.

fn isoywd(&self, year: i32, week: u32, weekday: Weekday) -> Date<Self>

👎Deprecated since 0.4.23:

use from_local_datetime() with a NaiveDateTime instead

Makes a new Date from ISO week date (year and week number), day of the week (DOW) and the current time zone. This assumes the proleptic Gregorian calendar, with the year 0 being 1 BCE. The resulting Date may have a different year from the input year.

fn isoywd_opt( &self, year: i32, week: u32, weekday: Weekday, ) -> LocalResult<Date<Self>>

👎Deprecated since 0.4.23:

use from_local_datetime() with a NaiveDateTime instead

Makes a new Date from ISO week date (year and week number), day of the week (DOW) and the current time zone. This assumes the proleptic Gregorian calendar, with the year 0 being 1 BCE. The resulting Date may have a different year from the input year.

fn timestamp(&self, secs: i64, nsecs: u32) -> DateTime<Self>

👎Deprecated since 0.4.23:

use timestamp_opt() instead

Makes a new DateTime from the number of non-leap seconds since January 1, 1970 0:00:00 UTC (aka “UNIX timestamp”) and the number of nanoseconds since the last whole non-leap second.

fn timestamp_opt(&self, secs: i64, nsecs: u32) -> LocalResult<DateTime<Self>>

Makes a new DateTime from the number of non-leap seconds since January 1, 1970 0:00:00 UTC (aka “UNIX timestamp”) and the number of nanoseconds since the last whole non-leap second.

fn timestamp_millis(&self, millis: i64) -> DateTime<Self>

👎Deprecated since 0.4.23:

use timestamp_millis_opt() instead

fn datetime_from_str( &self, s: &str, fmt: &str, ) -> Result<DateTime<Self>, ParseError>

👎Deprecated since 0.4.29:

use DateTime::parse_from_str or NaiveDateTime::parse_from_str with and_utc() or and_local_timezone() instead
