Package groovy.time

Classes for easily manipulating Dates and times. While java.util.Date has GDK methods for adding or subtracting days, this is not so useful for different durations of time. TimeCategory creates a simple internal DSL for manipulating dates and times in a clean and precise fashion.

 

Class Summary
BaseDuration Base class for date and time durations.
BaseDuration.From
DatumDependentDuration DatumDependentDuration represents durations whose length in milliseconds cannot be determined without knowing the datum point.
Duration
TimeCategory Apply a number of methods to allow convenient Date/Time manipulation,such as: 

 use ( TimeCategory ) {
     // application on numbers:
     println 1.minute.from.now
     println 10.hours.ago
 

     // application on dates
     def someDate = new Date()
     println someDate - 3.months
 }
TimeDatumDependentDuration TimeDatumDuration represents a time period which results from an arithmetic operation between a TimeDuration object and a DatumDuration object
