In calcal: Calendrical Calculations

Canonical granularities

Description

granularities() will return a character vector of canonical granularity names for the relevant calendar. These are the granularities used to define dates on the calendar. granularity() will return a vector of numerical values for a given canonical granularity.

Usage

granularity_names(calendar)

granularity(date, granularity)

Arguments

calendar	An object defining a calendar, of "calendar" class.
date	A date vector on some calendar
granularity	A character string indicating the granularity to extract

Value

A character vector of granularity names or a vector of numerical values for the specified granularity.

See Also

week_of_year for some non-canonical granularities.

Examples

granularity_names(cal_iso)
granularity_names(cal_gregorian)
date_iso <- new_date(year = 2025, week = 23, day = 2, calendar = cal_iso)
granularity(date_iso, "week")
date_gregorian <- new_date(year = 2025, month = 1, day = 1, calendar = cal_gregorian)
granularity(date_gregorian, "month")
