Month

Extends:

TemporalAccessor → Month

A month-of-year, such as 'July'.

Month is representing the 12 months of the year - January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.

In addition to the textual name, each month-of-year has an int value. The int value follows normal usage and the ISO-8601 standard, from 1 (January) to 12 (December). It is recommended that applications use the static values defined by this class rather than the int value to ensure code clarity.

This class represents a common concept that is found in many calendar systems. As such, this class may be used by any calendar system that has the month-of-year concept defined exactly equivalent to the ISO-8601 calendar system.

Static Public Methods

public static from(temporal: TemporalAccessor): Month source

Obtains an instance of Month from a temporal object.

This obtains a month based on the specified temporal. A TemporalAccessor represents an arbitrary set of date and time information, which this factory converts to an instance of Month.

The conversion extracts the MONTH_OF_YEAR (see ChronoField#MONTH_OF_YEAR) field. The extraction is only permitted if the temporal object has an ISO chronology, or can be converted to a LocalDate.

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

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
temporal TemporalAccessor

the temporal object to convert, not null

Return:

Month

the month-of-year, not null

Throw:

*

DateTimeException if unable to convert to a Month

public static of(month: number): Month source

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
month number

Return:

Month

not null

public static valueOf(name: string): Month source

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
name string

Return:

Month

public static values(): Month[] source

replacement for enum values

Return:

Month[]

Public Methods

public adjustInto(temporal: Temporal): Temporal source

Adjusts the specified temporal object to have this month-of-year.

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

The adjustment is equivalent to using Temporal#with passing ChronoField#MONTH_OF_YEAR as the field. If the specified temporal object does not use the ISO calendar system then a DateTimeException is thrown.

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 = thisMonth.adjustInto(temporal);
  temporal = temporal.with(thisMonth);

For example, given a date in May, the following are output:

  dateInMay.with(JANUARY);    // four months earlier
  dateInMay.with(APRIL);      // one months earlier
  dateInMay.with(MAY);        // same date
  dateInMay.with(JUNE);       // one month later
  dateInMay.with(DECEMBER);   // seven months later

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
temporal Temporal

the target object to be adjusted, not null

Return:

Temporal

the adjusted object, not null

Throw:

*

DateTimeException if unable to make the adjustment

*

ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs

public compareTo(other: Month): number source

Compares this Month to another Month.

The comparison is based on the value of the Month. It is "consistent with equals", as defined by Comparable.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
other Month

the other year to compare to, not null

Return:

number

the comparator value, negative if less, positive if greater

public displayName(style: TextStyle, locale: Locale): string source

Gets the textual representation, such as 'Jan' or 'December'.

This returns the textual name used to identify the month-of-year. The parameters control the length of the returned text and the locale.

If no textual mapping is found then the numeric value (see getValue) is returned.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
style TextStyle

the length of the text required, not null

locale Locale

the locale to use, not null

Return:

string

the text value of the day-of-week, not null

public equals(other: *): boolean source

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
other *

Return:

boolean

public firstDayOfYear(leapYear: boolean): number source

Gets the day-of-year corresponding to the first day of this month.

This returns the day-of-year that this month begins on, using the leap year flag to determine the length of February.

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
leapYear boolean

true if the length is required for a leap year

Return:

number

the day of year corresponding to the first day of this month, from 1 to 336

public firstMonthOfQuarter(): Month source

Gets the month corresponding to the first month of this quarter.

The year can be divided into four quarters. This method returns the first month of the quarter for the base month. January, February and March return January. April, May and June return April. July, August and September return July. October, November and December return October.

Return:

Month

the first month of the quarter corresponding to this month, not null

public get(field: TemporalField): Number source

Gets the value of the specified field from this month-of-year as an int.

This queries this month for the value of 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 MONTH_OF_YEAR (see ChronoField#MONTH_OF_YEAR) then the value of the month-of-year, from 1 to 12, will be returned. All other ChronoField instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException.

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

the field to get, not null

Return:

Number

the value for the field, within the valid range of values

Throw:

*

DateTimeException if a value for the field cannot be obtained or the value is outside the range of valid values for the field

*

UnsupportedTemporalTypeException if the field is not supported or the range of values exceeds an int

*

ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs

public getLong(field: TemporalField): Number source

Gets the value of the specified field from this month-of-year as a long.

This queries this month for the value of the specified 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 MONTH_OF_YEAR (see ChronoField#MONTH_OF_YEAR) then the value of the month-of-year, from 1 to 12, will be returned. All other ChronoField instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException.

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#getLong

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
field TemporalField

the field to get, not null

Return:

Number

the value for the field

Throw:

*

DateTimeException if a value for the field cannot be obtained

*

UnsupportedTemporalTypeException if the field is not supported

*

ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs

public isSupported(field: TemporalField): boolean source

Checks if the specified field is supported.

This checks if this month-of-year can be queried for the specified field. If false, then calling the range (see range) and get (see get) methods will throw an exception.

If the field is MONTH_OF_YEAR (see ChronoField#MONTH_OF_YEAR) then this method returns true. 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:

TemporalAccessor#isSupported

Params:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
field TemporalField

the field to check, null returns false

Return:

boolean

true if the field is supported on this month-of-year, false if not

public length(leapYear: boolean): number source
