Struct WhichTime 

pub struct WhichTime { /* private fields */ }

The main natural-language date parser.

A WhichTime instance owns a locale-specific set of parsers and refiners and can be reused across multiple parse calls.

Implementations

impl WhichTime

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a parser with the default English configuration.

pub fn with_locale(locale: Locale) -> Self

Create a parser configured for a specific locale.

pub fn with_configuration(config: Configuration) -> Self

Create a parser from a custom Configuration.

pub fn locale(&self) -> Locale

Return the parser locale.

pub fn parse( &self, text: &str, reference: Option<DateTime<Local>>, ) -> Result<Vec<ParsedResult>>

Parse text and return every detected date/time match.

If reference is None, the current local time is used as the reference instant for relative expressions such as “tomorrow” or “next week”.

pub fn parse_date( &self, text: &str, reference: Option<DateTime<Local>>, ) -> Result<Option<DateTime<Local>>>

Parse text and return the first resolved date, if any.

This is a convenience wrapper around WhichTime::parse for callers that only care about the earliest match.
