LocalDate

Extends:

TemporalAccessorTemporalChronoLocalDate → LocalDate

A date without a time-zone in the ISO-8601 calendar system, such as 2007-12-03.

LocalDate is an immutable date-time object that represents a date, often viewed as year-month-day. Other date fields, such as day-of-year, day-of-week and week-of-year, can also be accessed. For example, the value "2nd October 2007" can be stored in a LocalDate.

This class does not store or represent a time or time-zone. Instead, it is a description of the date, as used for birthdays. It cannot represent an instant on the time-line without additional information such as an offset or time-zone.

The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today in most of the world. It is equivalent to the proleptic Gregorian calendar system, in which today's rules for leap years are applied for all time. For most applications written today, the ISO-8601 rules are entirely suitable. However, any application that makes use of historical dates, and requires them to be accurate will find the ISO-8601 approach unsuitable.

Static properties of Class LocalDate

LocalDate.MIN = LocalDate.of(Year.MIN_VALUE, 1, 1);

LocalDate.MAX = LocalDate.of(Year.MAX_VALUE, 12, 31);

The maximum supported LocalDate This could be used by an application as a "far future" date.

LocalDate.EPOCH_0

The date at epoch day 0, that is 1970-01-01.

Static Public Methods

public static from(temporal: TemporalAccessor): LocalDate source

Obtains an instance of LocalDate from a temporal object.

A TemporalAccessor represents some form of date and time information. This factory converts the arbitrary temporal object to an instance of LocalDate.

The conversion uses the TemporalQueries.localDate query, which relies on extracting the ChronoField.EPOCH_DAY field.

This method matches the signature of the functional interface TemporalQuery allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, LocalDate::from.

Params:

Return:

LocalDate

the local date, not null

Throw:

DateTimeException

if unable to convert to a LocalDate

This returns a LocalDate with the specified epoch-day. The ChronoField.EPOCH_DAY is a simple incrementing count of days where day 0 is 1970-01-01. Negative numbers represent earlier days.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
epochDay number
  • optional
  • default: 0

the Epoch Day to convert, based on the epoch 1970-01-01

Return:

LocalDate

Public Methods

public adjustInto(temporal: TemporalAdjuster): * source

Adjusts the specified temporal object to have the same date as this object.

This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the date changed to be the same as this.

The adjustment is equivalent to using Temporal#with passing ChronoField.EPOCH_DAY as the field.

In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using Temporal#with:

  // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
  temporal = thisLocalDate.adjustInto(temporal);
  temporal = temporal.with(thisLocalDate);

Override:

ChronoLocalDate#adjustInto

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
temporal TemporalAdjuster
  • nullable: false

the target object to be adjusted, not null

Return:

*

the adjusted object, not null

Throw:

DateTimeException

if unable to make the adjustment

ArithmeticException

if numeric overflow occurs

public atStartOfDay(zone: ZoneId): LocalDateTime | ZonedDateTime source

Combines this date with the time of midnight to create a LocalDateTime at the start of this date.

This returns a LocalDateTime formed from this date at the time of midnight, 00:00, at the start of this date.

If zone is not null, this returns a ZonedDateTime formed from this date at the specified zone, with the time set to be the earliest valid time according to the rules in the time-zone.

Time-zone rules, such as daylight savings, mean that not every local date-time is valid for the specified zone, thus the local date-time may not be midnight.

In most cases, there is only one valid offset for a local date-time. In the case of an overlap, there are two valid offsets, and the earlier one is used, corresponding to the first occurrence of midnight on the date. In the case of a gap, the zoned date-time will represent the instant just after the gap.

If the zone ID is a ZoneOffset, then the result always has a time of midnight.

To convert to a specific time in a given time-zone call atTime followed by LocalDateTime#atZone.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
zone ZoneId

optional ZoneId or ZoneOffset

Return:

LocalDateTime | ZonedDateTime

the local date-time of midnight at the start of this date, not null

public atTime(): LocalDateTime | OffsetDateTime source

This returns a LocalDateTime formed from this date at the specified time. All possible combinations of date and time are valid.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
time LocalTime

the time to combine with, not null

Return:

LocalDateTime | OffsetDateTime

the date-time formed from this date and the specified time, not null

public atTime4(hour: number, minute: number, second: number, nanoOfSecond: number): LocalDateTime source

Combines this date with a time to create a LocalDateTime.

This returns a LocalDateTime formed from this date at the specified hour, minute, second and nanosecond. The individual time fields must be within their valid range. All possible combinations of date and time are valid.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
hour number
  • nullable: false

the hour-of-day to use, from 0 to 23

minute number
  • nullable: false

the minute-of-hour to use, from 0 to 59

Return:

LocalDateTime

the local date-time formed from this date and the specified time, not null

Throw:

DateTimeException

if the value of any field is out of range

public chronology(): Chronology source

Gets the chronology of this date, which is the ISO calendar system.

The Chronology represents the calendar system in use. The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today in most of the world. It is equivalent to the proleptic Gregorian calendar system, in which today's rules for leap years are applied for all time.

Return:

Chronology

the ISO chronology, not null

public compareTo(other: LocalDate): number source

Compares this date to another date.

The comparison is primarily based on the date, from earliest to latest. It is "consistent with equals", as defined by Comparable.

If all the dates being compared are instances of LocalDate, then the comparison will be entirely based on the date. If some dates being compared are in different chronologies, then the chronology is also considered, see ChronoLocalDate.compareTo.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
other LocalDate
  • nullable: false

the other date to compare to, not null

Return:

number

the comparator value, negative if less, positive if greater

public dayOfMonth(): number source

Return:

number

gets the day of month

public dayOfWeek(): DayOfWeek source

Gets the day-of-week field, which is an enum DayOfWeek.

This method returns the enum DayOfWeek for the day-of-week. This avoids confusion as to what int values mean. If you need access to the primitive int value then the enum provides the DayOfWeek.value int value.

Additional information can be obtained from the DayOfWeek. This includes textual names of the values.

Return:

DayOfWeek

the day-of-week, not null

public dayOfYear(): number source

Gets the day-of-year field.

This method returns the primitive int value for the day-of-year.

Return:

number

the day-of-year, from 1 to 365, or 366 in a leap year

public equals(other: *): boolean source

NameTypeAttributeDescription
formatter DateTimeFormatter

the formatter to use, not null

Return:

String

the formatted date string, not null

Throw:

*

DateTimeException if an error occurs during printing

public get(field: TemporalField): * source

Gets the value of the specified field from this date as an int.

This queries this date for the value for the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range of values for the field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The LocalDate.isSupported supported fields will return valid values based on this date, except ChronoField.EPOCH_DAY and ChronoField.EPOCH_MONTH which are too large to fit in an int and throw a DateTimeException. All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.

If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.getFrom passing this as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

Override:

TemporalAccessor#get

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
field TemporalField
  • nullable: false

the field to get, not null

Return:

*

the value for the field

Throw:

DateTimeException

if a value for the field cannot be obtained

ArithmeticException

if numeric overflow occurs

public getLong(field: TemporalField): * source

see {LocalDate.get}, get and getLong are identical in javascript, because we are only limited by MathUtil.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER/ MathUtil.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER

Override:

TemporalAccessor#getLong

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
field TemporalField
  • nullable: false

Return:

*

public hashCode(): number source

A hash code for this date.

Return:

number

a suitable hash code

public isAfter(other: LocalDate): boolean source

Checks if this date is after the specified date.

This checks to see if this date represents a point on the local time-line after the other date.

  LocalDate a = LocalDate.of(2012, 6, 30);
  LocalDate b = LocalDate.of(2012, 7, 1);
  a.isAfter(b) == false
  a.isAfter(a) == false
  b.isAfter(a) == true

This method only considers the position of the two dates on the local time-line. It does not take into account the chronology, or calendar system. This is different from the comparison in compareTo, but is the same approach as DATE_COMPARATOR.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
other LocalDate
  • nullable: false

the other date to compare to, not null

Return:

boolean

true if this date is after the specified date

public isBefore(other: LocalDate): boolean source

Checks if this date is before the specified date.

This checks to see if this date represents a point on the local time-line before the other date.

  LocalDate a = LocalDate.of(2012, 6, 30);
  LocalDate b = LocalDate.of(2012, 7, 1);
  a.isBefore(b) == true
  a.isBefore(a) == false
  b.isBefore(a) == false

This method only considers the position of the two dates on the local time-line. It does not take into account the chronology, or calendar system. This is different from the comparison in compareTo, but is the same approach as DATE_COMPARATOR.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
other LocalDate
  • nullable: false

the other date to compare to, not null

Return:

boolean

true if this date is before the specified date

public isEqual(other: LocalDate): boolean source

This checks to see if this date represents the same point on the local time-line as the other date.

  LocalDate a = LocalDate.of(2012, 6, 30);
  LocalDate b = LocalDate.of(2012, 7, 1);
  a.isEqual(b) == false
  a.isEqual(a) == true
  b.isEqual(a) == false

This method only considers the position of the two dates on the local time-line. It does not take into account the chronology, or calendar system. This is different from the comparison in compareTo but is the same approach as DATE_COMPARATOR.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
other LocalDate
  • nullable: false

the other date to compare to, not null

Return:

boolean

true if this date is equal to the specified date

public isLeapYear(): boolean source

Checks if the year is a leap year, according to the ISO proleptic calendar system rules.

This method applies the current rules for leap years across the whole time-line. In general, a year is a leap year if it is divisible by four without remainder. However, years divisible by 100, are not leap years, with the exception of years divisible by 400 which are.

For example, 1904 is a leap year it is divisible by 4. 1900 was not a leap year as it is divisible by 100, however 2000 was a leap year as it is divisible by 400.

The calculation is proleptic - applying the same rules into the far future and far past. This is historically inaccurate, but is correct for the ISO-8601 standard.

Return:

boolean

true if the year is leap, false otherwise

public isSupported(field: TemporalField): boolean source

Checks if the specified field is supported.

This checks if this date can be queried for the specified field. If false, then calling the LocalDate.range range and LocalDate.get get methods will throw an exception.

If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The LocalDate.isSupported supported fields will return valid values based on this date-time. The supported fields are:

  • ChronoField.DAY_OF_WEEK
  • ChronoField.ALIGNED_DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH
  • ChronoField.ALIGNED_DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_YEAR
  • ChronoField.DAY_OF_MONTH
  • ChronoField.DAY_OF_YEAR
  • ChronoField.EPOCH_DAY
  • ChronoField.ALIGNED_WEEK_OF_MONTH
  • ChronoField.ALIGNED_WEEK_OF_YEAR
  • ChronoField.MONTH_OF_YEAR
  • ChronoField.EPOCH_MONTH
  • ChronoField.YEAR_OF_ERA
  • ChronoField.YEAR
  • ChronoField.ERA

All other ChronoField instances will return false.

If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.isSupportedBy passing this as the argument. Whether the field is supported is determined by the field.

Override:

ChronoLocalDate#isSupported

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
field TemporalField

the field to check, null returns false

Return:

boolean

true if the field is supported on this date, false if not

public lengthOfMonth(): number source

  3. Adjust the day-of-month to the last valid day if necessary

For example, 2008-02-29 (leap year) plus one year would result in the invalid date 2009-02-29 (standard year). Instead of returning an invalid result, the last valid day of the month, 2009-02-28, is selected instead.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
yearsToAdd number
  • nullable: false

the years to add, may be negative

Return:

LocalDate

a LocalDate based on this date with the years added, not null

Throw:

DateTimeException

if the result exceeds the supported date range

public query(query: TemporalQuery): * source

Queries this date using the specified query.

This queries this date using the specified query strategy object. The TemporalQuery object defines the logic to be used to obtain the result. Read the documentation of the query to understand what the result of this method will be.

The result of this method is obtained by invoking the TemporalQuery#queryFrom method on the specified query passing this as the argument.

Override:

ChronoLocalDate#query

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
query TemporalQuery

the query to invoke, not null

Return:

*

the query result, null may be returned (defined by the query)

Throw:

DateTimeException

if unable to query (defined by the query)

ArithmeticException

if numeric overflow occurs (defined by the query)

public range(field: TemporalField): ValueRange source

Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.

The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This date is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If it is not possible to return the range, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The LocalDate.isSupported supported fields will return appropriate range instances. All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.

If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.rangeRefinedBy passing this as the argument. Whether the range can be obtained is determined by the field.

Override:

TemporalAccessor#range

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
field TemporalField

the field to query the range for, not null

Return:

ValueRange

the range of valid values for the field, not null

Throw:

DateTimeException

if the range for the field cannot be obtained

public toEpochDay(): number source

Converts this date to the Epoch Day.

The Epoch Day count is a simple incrementing count of days where day 0 is 1970-01-01 (ISO). This definition is the same for all chronologies, enabling conversion.

Return:

number

the Epoch Day equivalent to this date

public toJSON(): string source

Return:

string

same as LocalDate.toString

public toString(): string source

Outputs this date as a String, such as 2007-12-03. The output will be in the ISO-8601 format uuuu-MM-dd.

Return:

string

a string representation of this date, not null

public until(p1: TemporalAccessor, p2: TemporalUnit): number | Period source

function overloading for LocalDate.until

called with 1 (or less) arguments {LocalDate.until1} is called otherwise LocalDate.until2

Override:

Temporal#until

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
p1 TemporalAccessor
  • nullable: false
p2 TemporalUnit

not null if called with 2 arguments

Return:

number | Period

public until1(endDate: TemporalAccessor): Period source

Calculates the period between this date and another date as a Period.

This calculates the period between two dates in terms of years, months and days. The start and end points are this and the specified date. The result will be negative if the end is before the start.

The calculation is performed using the ISO calendar system. If necessary, the input date will be converted to ISO.

The start date is included, but the end date is not. The period is calculated by removing complete months, then calculating the remaining number of days, adjusting to ensure that both have the same sign. The number of months is then normalized into years and months based on a 12 month year. A month is considered to be complete if the end day-of-month is greater than or equal to the start day-of-month. For example, from 2010-01-15 to 2011-03-18 is "1 year, 2 months and 3 days".

The result of this method can be a negative period if the end is before the start. The negative sign will be the same in each of year, month and day.

There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method. The second is to use Period#between:

  // these two lines are equivalent
  period = start.until(end);
  period = Period.between(start, end);
The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
endDate TemporalAccessor
  • nullable: false

the end date, exclusive, which may be in any chronology, not null

Return:

Period

the period between this date and the end date, not null

public until2(endExclusive: TemporalAccessor, unit: TemporalUnit): number source

Calculates the period between this date and another date in terms of the specified unit.

This calculates the period between two dates in terms of a single unit. The start and end points are this and the specified date. The result will be negative if the end is before the start. The Temporal passed to this method must be a LocalDate. For example, the period in days between two dates can be calculated using startDate.until.

The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of complete units between the two dates. For example, the period in months between 2012-06-15 and 2012-08-14 will only be one month as it is one day short of two months.

This method operates in association with TemporalUnit#between. The result of this method is a long representing the amount of the specified unit. By contrast, the result of between is an object that can be used directly in addition/subtraction:

  long period = start.until(end, MONTHS);   // this method
  dateTime.plus(MONTHS.between(start, end));      // use in plus/minus

The calculation is implemented in this method for ChronoUnit. The units DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS, YEARS, DECADES, CENTURIES, MILLENNIA and ERAS are supported. Other ChronoUnit values will throw an exception.

If the unit is not a ChronoUnit, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalUnit.between passing this as the first argument and the input temporal as the second argument.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
endExclusive TemporalAccessor
  • nullable: false

the end date, which is converted to a LocalDate, not null

unit TemporalUnit
  • nullable: false

the unit to measure the period in, not null

Return:

number

the amount of the period between this date and the end date

Throw:

DateTimeException

if the period cannot be calculated

ArithmeticException

if numeric overflow occurs
