Date
Represents a single moment in time and provides utilities for converting to and from different date and time formats. Although microsecond precision is available, most formats are implemented with only second precision.
| Parameter | Type | Optional |
|---|---|---|
| seconds | number | ✔ |
| microseconds | number | ✔ |
| Parameter | Type |
|---|---|
| str | string |
Constructs a new Date object from an RFC 2822 string. Equivalent to Date(Date.parseHeader(str)).
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: Date
| Parameter | Type |
|---|---|
| str | string |
Constructs a new Date object from an ISO 8601 string. Equivalent to Date(Date.parseISO(str)).
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: Date
| Parameter | Type |
|---|---|
| us | number |
Constructs a new Date object from a Unix time in microseconds.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: Date
| Parameter | Type |
|---|---|
| ms | number |
Constructs a new Date object from a Unix time in milliseconds.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: Date
| Parameter | Type |
|---|---|
| s | number |
Constructs a new Date object from a Unix time in seconds.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: Date
| Parameter | Type |
|---|---|
| id | string |
Constructs a new Date object from a Discord/Twitter Snowflake ID. Equivalent to Date(Date.parseSnowflake(id)).
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: Date
| Parameter | Type |
|---|---|
| tbl | table |
Constructs a new Date object from a Lua date table interpreted as a local time. Equivalent to Date(Date.parseTable(tbl)).
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: Date
| Parameter | Type |
|---|---|
| tbl | table |
Constructs a new Date object from a Lua date table interpreted as a UTC time. Equivalent to Date(Date.parseTableUTC(tbl)).
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: Date
| Parameter | Type |
|---|---|
| str | string |
Converts an RFC 2822 string (an HTTP Date header) into a Unix time in seconds.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: number
| Parameter | Type |
|---|---|
| str | string |
Converts an ISO 8601 string into a Unix time in seconds. For compatibility with Discord's timestamp format, microseconds are also provided as a second return value.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: number, number
| Parameter | Type |
|---|---|
| id | string |
Converts a Discord Snowflake ID into a Unix time in seconds. Additional decimal points may be present, though only the first 3 (milliseconds) should be considered accurate.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: number
| Parameter | Type | Optional |
|---|---|---|
| tbl | table | ✔ |
Interprets a Lua date table as a local time and converts it to a Unix time in seconds. Equivalent to os.time(tbl).
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: number
| Parameter | Type | Optional |
|---|---|---|
| tbl | table | ✔ |
Interprets a Lua date table as a UTC time and converts it to a Unix time in seconds. Equivalent to os.time(tbl) with a correction for UTC.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: number
Returns an RFC 2822 string that represents the stored date and time.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: string
| Parameter | Type | Optional |
|---|---|---|
| sep | string | ✔ |
| tz | string | ✔ |
Returns an ISO 8601 string that represents the stored date and time. If sep and tz are both provided, then they are used as a custom separator and timezone; otherwise, T is used for the separator and +00:00 is used for the timezone, plus microseconds if available.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: string
Returns a Unix time in microseconds that represents the stored date and time.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: number
Returns a Unix time in milliseconds that represents the stored date and time.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: number
Returns the seconds and microseconds that are stored in the date object.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: number, number
Returns a Unix time in seconds that represents the stored date and time.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: number
Returns a synthetic Discord Snowflake ID based on the stored date and time. Due to the lack of native 64-bit support, the result may lack precision. In other words, Date.fromSnowflake(id):toSnowflake() == id may be false.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: string
| Parameter | Type | Optional |
|---|---|---|
| fmt | string | ✔ |
Returns a string from this Date object via Lua's os.date. If no format string is provided, the default is '%a %b %d %Y %T GMT%z (%Z)'.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: string
Returns a Lua date table that represents the stored date and time as a local time. Equivalent to os.date('*t', s) where s is the Unix time in seconds.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: table
Returns a Lua date table that represents the stored date and time as a UTC time. Equivalent to os.date('!*t', s) where s is the Unix time in seconds.
This method only operates on data in memory.
Returns: table
