time-literals

A Clojure(Script) library to help reading and printing objects from jsr-310 domain, which on the jvm (bundled with Java 8+ only) is objects from the java.time library and in Javascript is a 'jsr-310 clone' library (yes, it is actually an implementation of JSR-310, rather than joda-time, as it's name would suggest).

If you're not using it already The tick library is an intuitive Clojure(Script) library for dealing with time, intended as a replacement for clj-time

Alternatives

If you only need Instant from jsr-310, you could just rebind the tag readers and printer fns for #inst

Also java-time-literals is a library which is similar but currently only works on the jvm, and also doesn't provide a way to read edn with the literals (via clojure.edn/read-string or cljs.reader). Also the naming of tags in this library follows the tick (v 0.4+) convention, for example #time/date for LocalDate, instead of #time/ld.

Usage

Lein/Boot

[time-literals "0.1.1"]

The library includes the magic file data_readers.cljc which Clojure and the Clojurescript compiler will look for.

Example literals:

#time/month "JUNE"
#time/period "P1D"
#time/date "2039-01-01"
#time/date-time "2018-07-25T08:08:44.026"
#time/zoned-date-time "2018-07-25T08:09:11.227+01:00[Europe/London]"
#time/offset-date-time "2018-07-25T08:11:54.453+01:00"
#time/instant "2018-07-25T07:10:05.861Z"
#time/time "08:12:13.366"
#time/duration "PT1S"
#time/year "3030"
#time/year-month "3030-01"
#time/zone "Europe/London"
#time/day-of-week "TUESDAY"

ClojureScript

For example, in a Clojure repl:

(require 'time-literals.data-readers)
 
; Get a node repl going, or equivalent start figwheel and connect with sidecar etc 
(require '[cljs.repl :as cljs-repl])
(require '[cljs.repl.node :as node])          

(cljs-repl/repl* (node/repl-env)
  {:output-dir "out"
   :optimizations :none
   :cache-analysis true
   :source-map true})
  
 ;Now, in cljs repl
 (require '[java.time ])  
 (println #time/duration "PT1S")
 ; => #object[Duration PT1S]
 ; Now, include printing and edn reading
 (require '[time-literals.read-write])
 (println #time/duration "PT1S")
 ; => #time/duration "PT1S"   
      
 Read an edn string:
      
 (cljs.reader/read-string "#time/date \"2011-01-01\"")     

Self-hosted Cljs

TODO

Clojure

As with any non-core tagged literal, the tag reader functions referred to from a data_readers file must be loaded before the forms can be read.

(require '[time-literals.data-readers])
(println #time/duration "PT1S")

Reading and Writing edn

(require '[time-literals.read-write])

Printing will now automatically change, for example re run the println above

Read edn like this:

(clojure.edn/read-string {:readers time-literals.read-write/tags} "#time/date \"2011-01-01\"")

Using clojure.core/read-string, you'd need to eval after the call to read-string
