calendar_spanning_seq: Spanning sequence: calendars

In clock: Date-Time Types and Tools

Spanning sequence: calendars

Description

calendar_spanning_seq() generates a regular sequence along the span of x, i.e. along ⁠[min(x), max(x)]⁠. The sequence is generated at the precision of x.

Importantly, sequences can only be generated if the underlying seq() method for the calendar in question supports a from and to value at the same precision as x. For example, you can't compute a day precision spanning sequence for a year_month_day() calendar (you can only compute a year and month one). To create a day precision sequence, you'd have to convert to a time-point first. See the individual seq() method documentation to learn what precisions are allowed.

Usage

calendar_spanning_seq(x)

Arguments

x	⁠[clock_calendar]⁠ A calendar vector.

Details

Missing values are automatically removed before the sequence is generated.

If you need more precise sequence generation, call range() and seq() directly.

Value

A sequence along ⁠[min(x), max(x)]⁠.

Examples

x <- year_month_day(c(2019, 2022, 2020), c(2, 5, 3))
x

# Month precision spanning sequence
calendar_spanning_seq(x)

# Quarter precision:
x <- year_quarter_day(c(2005, 2006, 2003), c(4, 2, 3))
calendar_spanning_seq(x)

# Can't generate sequences if `seq()` doesn't allow the precision
x <- year_month_day(2019, c(1, 2, 1), c(20, 3, 25))
try(calendar_spanning_seq(x))

# Generally this means you need to convert to a time point and use
# `time_point_spanning_seq()` instead
time_point_spanning_seq(as_sys_time(x))
