Expand description
Formatting (and parsing) utilities for date and time.
This module provides the common types and routines to implement,
for example, DateTime::format or
DateTime::parse_from_str methods.
For most cases you should use these high-level interfaces.
Internally the formatting and parsing shares the same abstract formatting items,
which are just an Iterator of
the Item type.
They are generated from more readable format strings;
currently Chrono supports one built-in syntax closely resembling
C’s strftime format.
Re-exports
pub use self::strftime::StrftimeItems;Modules
strftime/strptime-inspired date and time formatting syntax.
Structs
A temporary object which can be used as an argument to format! or others.
This is normally constructed via format methods of each date and time type.
An opaque type representing fixed-format item types for internal uses only.
An opaque type representing numeric item types for internal uses only.
An error from the parse function.
Parsed parts of date and time. There are two classes of methods:
Enums
Fixed-format item types.
A single formatting item. This is used for both formatting and parsing.
Numeric item types. They have associated formatting width (FW) and parsing width (PW).
Padding characters for numeric items.
Functions
Tries to format given arguments with given formatting items.
Internally used by DelayedFormat.
Formats single formatting item
Tries to parse given string into parsed with given formatting items.
Returns Ok when the entire string has been parsed (otherwise parsed should not be used).
There should be no trailing string after parsing;
use a stray Item::Space to trim whitespaces.
Type Definitions
Same as Result<T, ParseError>.
