Detailed Description

A localized calendar date and clock time.

This presents a localized date time, which represents a date time in a given locale.

It is recommended to only use this to display timestamps to the user, and use WDateTime (which stores UTC time) throughout your business logic. For this reason, this class does not contain any methods to calculate with time.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Wt::WLocalDateTime::WLocalDateTime ( const WLocale & locale = WLocale::currentLocale() )

Creates a Null datetime.

A time for which isNull() returns true. A Null datetime is also invalid.

See also: isValid(), isNull()

Wt::WLocalDateTime::WLocalDateTime	(	const WDate &	date,
		const WTime &	time,
		const WLocale &	locale = `WLocale::currentLocale()`
	)

Creates a datetime given a date and time.

The datetime is valid if both date and time are valid and the given time could correctly be interpreted in the local time zone:

the time must exist (on the day that the time changes from 2AM to 3AM the time 2.30AM does not exist)
the time must be unambiguous. On the day that time changes from 3AM to 2AM, the time 2.30AM is not unambiguous. In that case the ambiguity must be resolved by using setDateTime() indicating whether the time is day light savings time or not.

Member Function Documentation

WLocalDateTime Wt::WLocalDateTime::currentDateTime ( const WLocale & locale = WLocale::currentLocale() )

static

Reports the current datetime.

This method returns the current datetime in the given locale.

If no time zone has been configured for the given locale (locale.timeZone() is empty), then the offset is based on WEnvironment::timeZoneOffset().

WDate Wt::WLocalDateTime::date ( ) const

Returns the date part.

See also: time()

WLocalDateTime Wt::WLocalDateTime::fromString	(	const WString &	s,
		const WLocale &	locale = `WLocale::currentLocale()`
	)

static

Parses a string to a time using the locale format.

See also: WLocale::dateTimeFormat()

bool Wt::WLocalDateTime::isNull ( ) const

Returns if this datetime is Null.

A null time is also invalid.

See also: isValid(), WDateTime()

bool Wt::WLocalDateTime::isValid ( ) const

Returns if this datetime is valid.

A date time is only valid if its date and time parts are valid.

void Wt::WLocalDateTime::setDate ( const WDate & date )

Sets the date part.

Changes the date part part, leaving the time unmodified. If no time was set, it is set to 00:00.

See also: setTime()

void Wt::WLocalDateTime::setDateTime	(	const WDate &	date,
		const WTime &	time
	)

Sets the local date and time.

The datetime is valid if both date and time are valid and the given time could correctly be interpreted in the local time zone:

the time exists (on the day that the time changes from 2AM to 3AM the time 2.30AM does not exist)
the time is unambiguous (on the day that time changes from 3AM to 2AM. the time 2.30AM is not unambigous). In the latter case, setDateTime(const WDate&, const WTime&, bool) may still be used.

void Wt::WLocalDateTime::setDateTime	(	const WDate &	date,
		const WTime &	time,
		bool	dst
	)

Sets the local date and time, indicating day-light savings.

The datetime is valid if both date and time are valid and the given time could correctly be interpreted in the local time zone with the indicated day light savings indication.

void Wt::WLocalDateTime::setTime ( const WTime & time )

Sets the time part.

If no valid date is set, the time is not set either.
