subsecond: Subsecond helper getter/setter

In datetimeoffset: Datetimes with Optional UTC Offsets and/or Heterogeneous Time Zones

Subsecond helper getter/setter

Description

Helper getter/setter methods for the subseconds (aka fractional seconds) of datetimeoffset() objects.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'datetimeoffset'
get_millisecond(x)

## S3 method for class 'datetimeoffset'
set_millisecond(x, value, ..., na_set = FALSE, digits = 3L)

## S3 method for class 'datetimeoffset'
get_microsecond(x)

## S3 method for class 'datetimeoffset'
set_microsecond(x, value, ..., na_set = FALSE, digits = 6L)

get_subsecond(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'datetimeoffset'
get_subsecond(x, digits = get_subsecond_digits(x), ...)

set_subsecond(x, value, digits = 1L, ...)

## S3 method for class 'datetimeoffset'
set_subsecond(x, value, digits = 1L, ..., na_set = FALSE)

Arguments

x	A datetime object.
value	The replacement value. For set_day() this can also be "last".
...	Currently ignored.
na_set	If TRUE set component for NA datetimes (making them no longer NA)
digits	If NULL do not update the subsecond_digits field. Otherwise an integer vector (1L through 9L or NA_integer_) to update the subsecond_digits field with.

Details

Internally datetimeoffset() objects represent subseconds with two fields:

1. Nanoseconds (as an integer)

2. Number of subsecond digits (as an integer)

One can explicitly get/set these fields with

• get_nanosecond() / set_nanosecond()

• get_subsecond_digits() / set_subsecond_digits()

We implement datetimeoffset() support for the following S3 methods from clock:

• get_millisecond()

• get_microsecond()

• set_millisecond() (note sets any non-zero microsecond/nanosecond elements to zero)

• set_microsecond() (note sets any non-zero nanosecond elements to zero)

We implement the following new S3 methods:

• get_subsecond()

• set_subsecond()

Value

get_millisecond(), get_microsecond(), and get_subsecond() returns an integer vector. set_millisecond(), set_microsecond(), and set_subsecond() returns a datetime vector.

Examples

library("clock")
dt <- as_datetimeoffset("2020-01-01T10:10:10.123456789")
format(dt)
get_millisecond(dt)
get_microsecond(dt)
get_subsecond(dt, 1L)
get_subsecond(dt, 7L)

set_microsecond(dt, 123456L)
set_millisecond(dt, 123L)
set_subsecond(dt, 12L, digits = 2L)
set_subsecond(dt, 12L, digits = 3L)
