@google-cloud/precise-date v4.0.0
@google-cloud/precise-date
A simple utility for precise-dateing functions and classes.
Installing the package
It's unlikely you will need to install this package directly, as it will be
installed as a dependency when you install other @google-cloud packages.
$ npm install --save @google-cloud/precise-dateUsing the package
PreciseDate extends the native Date object, so you can use it in place of
that or when you need nanosecond precision.
const {PreciseDate} = require('@google-cloud/precise-date');
const date = new PreciseDate('1547253035381101032');
date.toISOString();
// => 2019-01-12T00:30:35.381101032Z
date.toFullTimeString();
// => '1547253035381101032'API
PreciseDate(time)
Returns a new date instance.
time
Type: string BigInt Object<string, number> [number, number]
// from a full ISO string
date = new PreciseDate('2019-02-08T10:34:29.481145231Z');
// from a string representing nanoseconds
date = new PreciseDate('1549622069481320032');
// from a BigInt representing nanoseconds (requires Node >= 10.7)
date = new PreciseDate(1549622069481320032n);
// from an object containing `seconds` and `nanos` values
date = new PreciseDate({seconds: 1549622069, nanos: 481320032});
// from a tuple representing [seconds, nanos]
date = new PreciseDate([1549622069, 481320032]);PreciseDate.parseFull(time)
Similar to Date.parse(), but this accepts the same nanosecond time options as the PreciseDate constructor and returns a string representing the nanoseconds in the specified date according to universal time.
PreciseDate.parseFull('2019-02-08T10:34:29.481145231Z');
// => '1549622069481145231'PreciseDate.fullUTCString(...dateFields)
Similar to Date.UTC(), but also accepts microsecond and nanosecond parameters. Returns a string that represents the number of nanoseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.
dateFields
Type: ...number
PreciseDate.fullUTCString(2019, 1, 8, 10, 34, 29, 481, 145, 231);
// => '1549622069481145231'PreciseDate.fullUTC(...dateFields)
Like PreciseDate.fullUTCString() but returns a native BigInt instead of a string. Requires Node >= 10.7.
dateFields
Type: ...number
PreciseDate.fullUTC(2019, 1, 8, 10, 34, 29, 481, 145, 231);
// => 1549622069481145231ndate
PreciseDate instance.
date.getFullTimeString()
Returns a string of the specified date represented in nanoseconds according to universal time.
date.getFullTime()
Like date.getFullTimeString() but returns a native BigInt instead of a string. Requires Node >= 10.7.
date.getMicroseconds()
Returns the microseconds in the specified date according to universal time.
date.getNanoseconds()
Returns the nanoseconds in the specified date according to universal time.
date.setMicroseconds(microseconds)
Sets the microseconds for a specified date according to universal time. Returns a string representing the nanoseconds in the specified date according to universal time.
microseconds
Type: number
date.setNanoseconds(nanoseconds)
Sets the nanoseconds for a specified date according to universal time. Returns a string representing the nanoseconds in the specified date according to universal time.
nanoseconds
Type: number
date.setFullTime(time)
Sets the time to the number of supplied nanoseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. Returns a string representing the nanoseconds in the specified date according to universal time (effectively, the value of the argument).
time
Type: number string BigInt
date.toStruct()
Returns an object representing the specified date according to universal time.
Refer to google.protobuf.Timestamp for more information about this format.
const {seconds, nanos} = date.toStruct();date.toTuple()
Like date.toStruct() but returns the seconds and nanos as a tuple.
const [seconds, nanos] = date.toTuple();Versioning
