Hledger.Data.Dates

Date parsing and utilities for hledger.

For date and time values, we use the standard Day and UTCTime types.

A SmartDate is a date which may be partially-specified or relative. Eg 2008/12/31, but also 2008/12, 12/31, tomorrow, last week, next year. We represent these as a triple of strings like ("2008","12",""), ("","","tomorrow"), ("","last","week").

A DateSpan is the span of time between two specific calendar dates, or an open-ended span where one or both dates are unspecified. (A date span with both ends unspecified matches all dates.)

An Interval is ledger's "reporting interval" - weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.

Period will probably replace DateSpan in due course.

Misc date handling utilities

getCurrentDay :: IO Day

Get the current local date.

getCurrentMonth :: IO Int

Get the current local month number.

getCurrentYear :: IO Integer

Get the current local year.

nulldate :: Day

spanContainsDate :: DateSpan -> Day -> Bool

Does the span include the given date ?

periodContainsDate :: Period -> Day -> Bool

Does the period include the given date ? (Here to avoid import cycle).

parsedateM :: String -> Maybe Day

Try to parse a couple of date string formats: `YYYY-MM-DD`, `YYYYMMDD` or DD, with leading zeros required. For internal use, not quite the same as the journal's "simple dates". >>> parsedateM "20080203" Just 2008-02-03 >>> parsedateM "20080203/" Nothing >>> parsedateM "20080230" Nothing

showDate :: Day -> Text

showDateSpan :: DateSpan -> Text

Render a datespan as a display string, abbreviating into a compact form if possible.

showDateSpanMonthAbbrev :: DateSpan -> Text

Like showDateSpan, but show month spans as just the abbreviated month name in the current locale.

elapsedSeconds :: Fractional a => UTCTime -> UTCTime -> a

prevday :: Day -> Day

periodexprp :: Day -> TextParser m (Interval, DateSpan)

Parse a period expression, specifying a date span and optionally a reporting interval. Requires a reference "today" date for resolving any relative start/end dates (only; it is not needed for parsing the reporting interval).

parsePeriodExpr :: Day -> Text -> Either (ParseErrorBundle Text CustomErr) (Interval, DateSpan)

Parse a period expression to an Interval and overall DateSpan using the provided reference date, or return a parse error.

parsePeriodExpr' :: Day -> Text -> (Interval, DateSpan)

Like parsePeriodExpr, but call error' on failure.

nulldatespan :: DateSpan

emptydatespan :: DateSpan

A datespan of zero length, that matches no date.

datesepchar :: TextParser m Char

datesepchars :: String

isDateSepChar :: Char -> Bool

spanStart :: DateSpan -> Maybe Day

spanEnd :: DateSpan -> Maybe Day

spanStartYear :: DateSpan -> Maybe Year

spanEndYear :: DateSpan -> Maybe Year

spanYears :: DateSpan -> [Year]

Get the 0-2 years mentioned explicitly in a DateSpan.

spansSpan :: [DateSpan] -> DateSpan

Get overall span enclosing multiple sequentially ordered spans.

spanIntersect :: DateSpan -> DateSpan -> DateSpan

Calculate the intersection of two datespans.

For non-intersecting spans, gives an empty span beginning on the second's start date: >>> DateSpan (Just $ fromGregorian 2018 01 01) (Just $ fromGregorian 2018 01 03) spanIntersect DateSpan (Just $ fromGregorian 2018 01 03) (Just $ fromGregorian 2018 01 05) DateSpan 2018-01-03..2018-01-02

spansIntersect :: [DateSpan] -> DateSpan

Calculate the intersection of a number of datespans.

spanDefaultsFrom :: DateSpan -> DateSpan -> DateSpan

Fill any unspecified dates in the first span with the dates from the second one. Sort of a one-way spanIntersect.

spanUnion :: DateSpan -> DateSpan -> DateSpan

Calculate the union of two datespans.

spansUnion :: [DateSpan] -> DateSpan

Calculate the union of a number of datespans.

daysSpan :: [Day] -> DateSpan

Calculate the minimal DateSpan containing all of the given Days (in the usual exclusive-end-date sense: beginning on the earliest, and ending on the day after the latest).

latestSpanContaining :: [DateSpan] -> Day -> Maybe DateSpan

Select the DateSpan containing a given Day, if any, from a given list of DateSpans.

If the DateSpans are non-overlapping, this returns the unique containing DateSpan, if it exists. If the DateSpans are overlapping, it will return the containing DateSpan with the latest start date, and then latest end date.

smartdate :: TextParser m SmartDate

Parse a date in any of the formats allowed in Ledger's period expressions, and some others. Assumes any text in the parse stream has been lowercased. Returns a SmartDate, to be converted to a full date later (see fixSmartDate).

Examples:

2004                                        (start of year, which must have 4+ digits)
2004/10                                     (start of month, which must be 1-12)
2004/10/1                                   (exact date, day must be 1-31)
10/1                                        (month and day in current year)
21                                          (day in current month)
october, oct                                (start of month in current year)
yesterday, today, tomorrow                  (-1, 0, 1 days from today)
last/this/next day/week/month/quarter/year  (-1, 0, 1 periods from the current period)
20181201                                    (8 digit YYYYMMDD with valid year month and day)
201812                                      (6 digit YYYYMM with valid year and month)

Note malformed digit sequences might give surprising results:

201813                                      (6 digits with an invalid month is parsed as start of 6-digit year)
20181301                                    (8 digits with an invalid month is parsed as start of 8-digit year)
20181232                                    (8 digits with an invalid day gives an error)
201801012                                   (9+ digits beginning with a valid YYYYMMDD gives an error)

Eg:

YYYYMMDD is parsed as year-month-date if those parts are valid (>=4 digits, 1-12, and 1-31 respectively): >>> parsewith (smartdate <* eof) "20181201" Right (SmartAssumeStart 2018 (Just (12,Just 1)))

YYYYMM is parsed as year-month-01 if year and month are valid: >>> parsewith (smartdate <* eof) "201804" Right (SmartAssumeStart 2018 (Just (4,Nothing)))

With an invalid month, it's parsed as a year: >>> parsewith (smartdate <* eof) "201813" Right (SmartAssumeStart 201813 Nothing)

A 9+ digit number beginning with valid YYYYMMDD gives an error: >>> parsewith (smartdate <* eof) "201801012" Left (...)

Big numbers not beginning with a valid YYYYMMDD are parsed as a year: >>> parsewith (smartdate <* eof) "201813012" Right (SmartAssumeStart 201813012 Nothing)

splitSpan :: Interval -> DateSpan -> [DateSpan]

Split a DateSpan into consecutive whole spans of the specified interval which fully encompass the original span (and a little more when necessary). If no interval is specified, the original span is returned. If the original span is the null date span, ie unbounded, the null date span is returned. If the original span is empty, eg if the end date is <= the start date, no spans are returned.

Examples:

>>> let t i y1 m1 d1 y2 m2 d2 = splitSpan i $ DateSpan (Just $ fromGregorian y1 m1 d1) (Just $ fromGregorian y2 m2 d2)
>>> t NoInterval 2008 01 01 2009 01 01
[DateSpan 2008]
>>> t (Quarters 1) 2008 01 01 2009 01 01
[DateSpan 2008Q1,DateSpan 2008Q2,DateSpan 2008Q3,DateSpan 2008Q4]
>>> splitSpan (Quarters 1) nulldatespan
[DateSpan ..]
>>> t (Days 1) 2008 01 01 2008 01 01  -- an empty datespan
[]
>>> t (Quarters 1) 2008 01 01 2008 01 01
[]
>>> t (Months 1) 2008 01 01 2008 04 01
[DateSpan 2008-01,DateSpan 2008-02,DateSpan 2008-03]
>>> t (Months 2) 2008 01 01 2008 04 01
[DateSpan 2008-01-01..2008-02-29,DateSpan 2008-03-01..2008-04-30]
>>> t (Weeks 1) 2008 01 01 2008 01 15
[DateSpan 2007-12-31W01,DateSpan 2008-01-07W02,DateSpan 2008-01-14W03]
>>> t (Weeks 2) 2008 01 01 2008 01 15
[DateSpan 2007-12-31..2008-01-13,DateSpan 2008-01-14..2008-01-27]
>>> t (DayOfMonth 2) 2008 01 01 2008 04 01
[DateSpan 2007-12-02..2008-01-01,DateSpan 2008-01-02..2008-02-01,DateSpan 2008-02-02..2008-03-01,DateSpan 2008-03-02..2008-04-01]
>>> t (WeekdayOfMonth 2 4) 2011 01 01 2011 02 15
[DateSpan 2010-12-09..2011-01-12,DateSpan 2011-01-13..2011-02-09,DateSpan 2011-02-10..2011-03-09]
>>> t (DaysOfWeek [2]) 2011 01 01 2011 01 15
[DateSpan 2010-12-28..2011-01-03,DateSpan 2011-01-04..2011-01-10,DateSpan 2011-01-11..2011-01-17]
>>> t (DayOfYear 11 29) 2011 10 01 2011 10 15
[DateSpan 2010-11-29..2011-11-28]
>>> t (DayOfYear 11 29) 2011 12 01 2012 12 15
[DateSpan 2011-11-29..2012-11-28,DateSpan 2012-11-29..2013-11-28]
