time_update: Update components of a date-time object

In timechange: Efficient Manipulation of Date-Times

Update components of a date-time object

Description

Update components of a date-time object

Usage

time_update(
  time,
  updates = NULL,
  year = NULL,
  month = NULL,
  yday = NULL,
  mday = NULL,
  wday = NULL,
  hour = NULL,
  minute = NULL,
  second = NULL,
  tz = NULL,
  roll_month = "preday",
  roll_dst = c("boundary", "post"),
  week_start = getOption("timechange.week_start", 1),
  exact = FALSE
)

Arguments

time	a date-time object
updates	a named list of components
year, month, yday, wday, mday, hour, minute, second	components of the date-time to be updated. All components except second will be converted to integer. Components are replicated according to vctrs semantics, i.e. vectors must be either of length 1 or same length as time vector.
tz	time zone component (a singleton character vector)
roll_month	controls how addition of months and years behaves when standard arithmetic rules exceed limits of the resulting date's month. Possible values are "preday", "boundary", "postday", "full" and "NA". See "Details" or ⁠[(timechange::time_add())⁠ for further details.
roll_dst	is a string vector of length one or two. When two values are supplied they specify how to roll date-times when they fall into "skipped" and "repeated" DST transitions respectively. A single value is replicated to the length of two. Possible values are: * `pre` - Use the time before the transition boundary. * `boundary` - Use the time exactly at the boundary transition. * `post` - Use the time after the boundary transition. * `xfirst` - crossed-first: First time which occurred when crossing the boundary. For addition with positive units pre interval is crossed first and post interval last. With negative units post interval is crossed first, pre - last. For subtraction the logic is reversed. * `xlast` - crossed-last. * `NA` - Produce NAs when the resulting time falls inside the problematic interval. For example 'roll_dst = c("NA", "pre") indicates that for skiped intervals return NA and for repeated times return the earlier time. When multiple units are supplied the meaning of "negative period" is determined by the largest unit. For example time_add(t, days = -1, hours = 2, roll_dst = "xfirst") would operate as if with negative period, thus crossing the boundary from the "post" to "pre" side and "xfirst" and hence resolving to "post" time. As this might result in confusing behavior. See examples. "xfirst" and "xlast" make sense for addition and subtraction only. An error is raised if an attempt is made to use them with other functions.
week_start	first day of the week (default is 1, Monday). Set timechange.week_start option to change this globally.
exact	logical (TRUE), whether the update should be exact. If set to FALSE no rolling or unit-recycling is allowed and NA is produced whenever the units of the end date-time don't match the provided units. This can occur when an end date falls into a gap (e.g. DST or Feb.29) or when large components (e.g. hour = 25) are supplied and result in crossing boundaries of higher units. When exact = TRUE, roll_month and roll_dst arguments are ignored.

Value

A date-time with the requested elements updated. Retain its original class unless the original class is Date and at least one of the hour, minute, second or tz is supplied, in which case a POSIXct object is returned.

Examples

date <- as.Date("2009-02-10")
time_update(date, year = 2010, month = 1, mday = 1)
time_update(date, year = 2010, month = 13, mday = 1)
time_update(date, minute = 10, second = 3)
time_update(date, minute = 10, second = 3, tz = "America/New_York")

time <- as.POSIXct("2015-02-03 01:02:03", tz = "America/New_York")
time_update(time, month = 2, mday = 31, roll_month = "preday")
time_update(time, month = 2, mday = 31, roll_month = "boundary")
time_update(time, month = 2, mday = 31, roll_month = "postday")
time_update(time, month = 2, mday = 31, exact = TRUE)
time_update(time, month = 2, mday = 31, exact = FALSE)

## DST skipped
time <- as.POSIXct("2015-02-03 01:02:03", tz = "America/New_York")
time_update(time, year = 2016, yday = 10)
time_update(time, year = 2016, yday = 10, tz = "Europe/Amsterdam")
time_update(time, second = 30,  tz = "America/New_York")
