LocalTime

Extends:

TemporalAccessorTemporal → LocalTime

A time without time-zone in the ISO-8601 calendar system, such as 10:15:30.

LocalTime is an immutable date-time object that represents a time, often viewed as hour-minute-second. Time is represented to nanosecond precision. For example, the value '13:45.30.123456789' can be stored in a LocalTime.

It does not store or represent a date or time-zone. Instead, it is a description of the local time as seen on a wall clock. 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. This API assumes that all calendar systems use the same representation, this class, for time-of-day.

Static Public Methods

public static from(temporal: TemporalAccessor): LocalTime source

Obtains an instance of LocalTime 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 LocalTime.

The conversion uses the TemporalQueries#localTime query, which relies on extracting ChronoField#NANO_OF_DAY.

This method matches the signature of the functional interface TemporalQuery allowing it to be used in queries via method reference, LocalTime::from.

Params:

Return:

LocalTime

the local time, not null

Throw:

Public Methods

public adjustInto(temporal: TemporalAdjuster): Temporal source

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

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

The adjustment is equivalent to using Temporal.with passing ChronoField.NANO_OF_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 = thisLocalTime.adjustInto(temporal);
  temporal = temporal.with(thisLocalTime);

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

public get(field: ChronoField): number source

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

This queries this time 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 supported fields (see isSupported) will return valid values based on this time, except ChronoField.NANO_OF_DAY and ChronoField.MICRO_OF_DAY 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 ChronoField

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

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

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

The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of complete units between the two times. For example, the period in hours between 11:30 and 13:29 will only be one hour as it is one minute short of two hours.

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, HOURS);   // this method
  dateTime.plus(HOURS.between(start, end));      // use in plus/minus

The calculation is implemented in this method for ChronoUnit. The units ChronoUnit.NANOS, ChronoUnit.MICROS, ChronoUnit.MILLIS, ChronoUnit.SECONDS, ChronoUnit.MINUTES, ChronoUnit.HOURS and ChronoUnit.HALF_DAYS 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.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Override:

Temporal#until

Params:
