Time is a Swift package that makes it easy to perform robust and type-safe date and time calculations.
Working with calendars can be extremely complicated and error-prone. Time solves these problems by clarifying concepts and restricting improper usage through type-safe APIs.
Time can be installed like any other Swift package. Add this to the dependencies
section of your Package.swift:
.package(url: “https://github.com/davedelong/time”, from: “1.0.0”)
Time requires Swift 5.7 or later, as well as macOS 13/iOS 16 (or equivalent) or later. Core parts of the library are built on Swift’s Duration
type, which was introduced in macOS 13/iOS 16.
Time‘s extensive documentation is hosted at the Swift Package Index.
Additionally, an “Examples” folder in this repository contains code illustrating how to use core parts of the library.
Here’s the TL;DR of the documentation:
If you want to know what time it is, you need the device’s RegionalClock
, which you get by using Clocks.system
.
A RegionalClock
tells you the current time. For example, .today
will give you the current calendar day. .currentMinute
will give you the current time, accurate down to the minute level.
Each of these returned values has methods to retrieve more- and less- precise values. For example, today.hours
will give you a sequence of all the “Hour” values in the day.
These values can be formatted into human-readable strings via their .format(...)
methods.
