trait TimeHelpers extends AnyRef

The TimeHelpers trait provide functions to create TimeSpans (an object representing duration in milliseconds), to manage date formats or general utility functions (get the date for today, get year/month/day number,...)

Type Members

  1. class CalendarExtension extends AnyRef

    This class adds the setXXX methods to the Calendar class.

    This class adds the setXXX methods to the Calendar class. Each setter returns the updated Calendar

  2. class DateExtension extends AnyRef

    This class adds a noTime method the Date class, in order to get at Date object starting at 00:00

  3. implicit class DateTimeExtension extends AnyRef
  4. implicit class PeriodExtension[P] extends AnyRef
  5. class TimeSpan extends ConvertableToDate

    The TimeSpan class represents a duration of time in milliseconds.

    The TimeSpan class represents a duration of time in milliseconds. In this way, it is similar to the scala.concurrent.Duration class. It is mostly used in Lift APIs in similar positions as the Scala Duration class (for example, in event scheduling).

    Unlike in the Lift 2.x series, building a TimeSpan with a Long will not have different behavior depending on the value passed. Any passed Long will be used as a duration.

    Prior to Lift 3.0, TimeSpan was an amalgam of duration and joda DateTime, and allowed conversions between the two. As a result, operational semantics were poorly defined and it was easy to call a method that seemed like it should have simple duration semantics but run into DateTime semantics that made things more complicated instead.

    Lift 3.0 mostly maintains API compatibility with the Lift 2.x series, but introduces a series of deprecations to indicate places where dangerous and potentially unclear behavior may occur. Lift 3.1 will maintain API compatibility with all non-deprecated parts of the TimeSpan API, but will remove the deprecated aspects.

    For deprecated years and month builders it handle an operations on duration field values. Then it could be used only in to-period implicit conversion.

  6. case class TimeSpanBuilder(len: Long) extends Product with Serializable

    class building TimeSpans given an amount (len) and a method specify the time unit
