defmodule Cldr.Interval do @moduledoc """ Interval formats allow for software to format intervals like "Jan 10-12, 2008" as a shorter and more natural format than "Jan 10, 2008 - Jan 12, 2008". They are designed to take a start and end date, time or datetime plus a formatting pattern and use that information to produce a localized format. The interval functions in the library will determine the calendar field with the greatest difference between the two datetimes before using the format pattern. For example, the greatest difference in "Jan 10-12, 2008" is the day field, while the greatest difference in "Jan 10 - Feb 12, 2008" is the month field. This is used to pick the exact format pattern to be used. ### Interval Formats CLDR provides a three-level mapping to a concrete format pattern. * The first level determines which fields are included in the interval format. This level is called a *format style*. * The second level is grouped by *standard formats* (`:long`, `:medium`, `:short`) which reflect the length of the specified fields - espeially the format length of the `month` field for *dates*. * The third level is a format skeleton which can then be resolved to a format pattern. Here's an example of the format styles, encapsulating standard formats the resolve to format skeletons. ```elixir iex> Cldr.Date.Interval.styles() %{ date: %{long: :yMMMEd, medium: :yMMMd, short: :yMd}, month: %{long: :MMM, medium: :MMM, short: :M}, month_and_day: %{long: :MMMEd, medium: :MMMd, short: :Md}, year_and_month: %{long: :yMMMM, medium: :yMMM, short: :yM} } # The *time* interval styles are also segments by whether 12-hour # or 24-hour time formatting is requested. iex> Cldr.Time.Interval.styles() %{ flex: %{h12: %{long: :Bhm, medium: :Bhm, short: :Bh}, h23: %{long: :Bhm, medium: :Bhm, short: :Bh}}, time: %{h12: %{long: :hm, medium: :hm, short: :h}, h23: %{long: :Hm, medium: :Hm, short: :H}}, zone: %{h12: %{long: :hmv, medium: :hmv, short: :hv}, h23: %{long: :Hmv, medium: :Hmv, short: :Hv}} } ``` Here the format style is the key of the map. For a *date* they keys are `:date`, `:month`, `:month_and_day` and `year_and_month`. These are then mapped to one of the standard interval formats `:short`, `:medium` or `:long` returning a format skeleton. ### Interval formats In a manner similar to formatting discrete *dates*, *times* and *date_times*, standard formats are introduced to simplify common usage. For all intervals the following standard formats are: * `:short` * `:medium` (the default) * `:long` In each case, the mapping is from a format style to a standard format which then resolves to a format skeleton. The format skeleton is then used to resolve a format pattern for the interval. These maps can be examined as follows where `"en"` is any configured locale name and `:gregorian` is the underlying CLDR calendar type. In common use the `:gregorian` calendar is the standard. However other calendar types are also supported. For example: ```elixir iex> Cldr.known_calendars() [:buddhist, :chinese, :coptic, :dangi, :ethiopic, :ethiopic_amete_alem, :gregorian, :hebrew, :indian, :islamic, :islamic_civil, :islamic_rgsa, :islamic_tbla, :islamic_umalqura, :japanese, :persian, :roc] ``` To examine the available interval formats, `Cldr.DateTime.Format.interval_formats/2` can be used although its use is primarily internal to the implementation of `to_string/3` and would not normally be called directly. ```elixir Cldr.DateTime.Format.interval_formats(:en, :gregorian) => {:ok, %{ Bh: %{ B: ["h B – ", "h B"], h: ["h – ", "h B"] }, Bhm: %{ B: ["h:mm B – ", "h:mm B"], h: ["h:mm – ", "h:mm B"], m: ["h:mm – ", "h:mm B"] }, Gy: %{ G: ["y G – ", "y G"], y: ["y – ", "y G"] }, GyM: %{ G: ["M/y G – ", "M/y G"], M: ["M/y – ", "M/y G"], y: ["M/y – ", "M/y G"] }, GyMEd: %{ G: ["E, M/d/y G – ", "E, M/d/y G"], M: ["E, M/d/y – ", "E, M/d/y G"], d: ["E, M/d/y – ", "E, M/d/y G"], y: ["E, M/d/y – ", "E, M/d/y G"] }, ... } } ``` At this point we can see that the path to resolving a format (using the `:en` locale for this example) is: * Apply the format style. For *dates*, this is `:date`, returning `%{long: :yMMMEd, medium: :yMMMd, short: :yMd}` * Apply the standard format. For *dates*, the default is `:medium` returning the format skeleton `:yMMMd`. * Using the returned format skeleton, resolve the interval formats returning: ```elixir %{ d: ["MMM d – ", "d, y"], m: ["MMM d – ", "MMM d, y"], y: ["MMM d, y – ", "MMM d, y"] } ``` ### The field with the greatest difference There remains one more choice to make - and that choice is made based upon the highest order date field that is different between the `from` and `to` *dates*. With two *dates* `2020-02-02` and `2021-01-01` the highest order difference is `:year`. With `2020-02-02` and `2020-01-01` it is `:month`. ### Formatting the interval Using this `greatest difference` information we can now resolve the final format. With the `:year` field being the greatest difference then the format is `y: ["MMM d, y – ", "MMM d, y"]`. Finally, formatting can proceed for the `from` *date* being formatted with the `"MMM d, y – "` format pattern and the `to` *date* being formatted with the `"MMM d, y"` format pattern and the two results then being concatenated to form the final string. ### Other ways to specify an interval format So far we have considered formats that are resolved from standard styles and stamdard formats. This is the typical usage and they are specified as parameters to the `to_string/3` function. For example: ```elixir iex> Cldr.Date.Interval.to_string ~D[2020-01-01], ~D[2020-01-12], MyApp.Cldr {:ok, "Jan 1 – 12, 2020"} iex> Cldr.Date.Interval.to_string ~D[2020-01-01], ~D[2020-01-12], MyApp.Cldr, format: :long {:ok, "Wed, Jan 1 – Sun, Jan 12, 2020"} iex> Cldr.Date.Interval.to_string ~D[2020-01-01], ~D[2020-01-12], MyApp.Cldr, ...> style: :month_and_day {:ok, "Jan 1 – 12"} ``` ### Direct use of format skeletons It is also possible to directly specify a format skeleton. For example: ```elixir iex> Cldr.Date.Interval.to_string ~D[2020-01-01], ~D[2020-01-12], MyApp.Cldr, format: :GyMMMd {:ok, "Jan 1 – 12, 2020 AD"} ``` ### Using format patterns In the unusual situation where one of the standard formats and format skeletons does not meet requirements, a format pattern can also be specified. For example: ```elixir iex> Cldr.Date.Interval.to_string ~D[2020-01-01], ~D[2020-01-12], MyApp.Cldr, ...> format: "E, M/d/y – E, M/d/y" {:ok, "Wed, 1/1/2020 – Sun, 1/12/2020"} ``` In this case, the steps to formatting are: 1. Split the format pattern at the point at which the first repeating formatting code is detected. In the pattern above it is where the second `E` is detected. The result in this case will be `["E, M/d/y – ", "E, M/d/y"]` For the purposes of splitting, duplicates are ignored. Therefore "EEE, M/d/y – E, M/d/y" will split into `["EEE, M/d/y – ", "E, M/d/y"]`. 2. Each part of the pattern is parsed. 3. The two *dates*, *times* or *date_times* are formatted. This is a more expensive operation than using the standard formats and styles since the underlying formats for these types are precompiled into an efficient runtime format. ### Configuring precompiled interval formats If there is a requirement for repeated use of format strings then they can be configured in the backend module so that they are precompiled and therefore not suffer a runtime performance penalty. In a backend module, configure the required formats as a list under the `:precompile_interval_formats` key: ```elixir defmodule MyApp.Cldr do use Cldr, locales: ["en", "fr"], default_locale: "en", precompile_interval_formats: ["E, MMM d/y – d/y"] end ``` """ @typedoc "A Date.Range or CalendarInterval range" if Cldr.Code.ensure_compiled?(CalendarInterval) do @type range :: Date.Range.t() | CalendarInterval.t() else @type range :: Date.Range.t() end @typedoc "Any date, time or datetime" @type datetime :: Calendar.date() | Calendar.datetime() | Calendar.naive_datetime() | Calendar.time() # These are type-detecting patterns to be used # in function heads import Cldr.Calendar, only: [ date: 0, datetime: 0, naivedatetime: 0, time: 0 ] import Kernel, except: [ to_string: 1 ] # Single argument version. # Derive backend and locale @doc false def to_string(%Date.Range{} = range) do {locale, backend} = Cldr.locale_and_backend_from(nil, nil) to_string(range, backend, locale: locale) end if Cldr.Code.ensure_compiled?(CalendarInterval) do def to_string(%CalendarInterval{} = interval) do {locale, backend} = Cldr.locale_and_backend_from(nil, nil) to_string(interval, backend, locale: locale) end end @doc false def to_string(unquote(date()) = from, unquote(date()) = to) do {locale, backend} = Cldr.locale_and_backend_from(nil, nil) to_string(from, to, backend, locale: locale) end def to_string(unquote(time()) = from, unquote(time()) = to) do {locale, backend} = Cldr.locale_and_backend_from(nil, nil) to_string(from, to, backend, locale: locale) end # Dual argument version with backend def to_string(%Date.Range{} = range, backend) when is_atom(backend) do {locale, backend} = Cldr.locale_and_backend_from(nil, backend) to_string(range, backend, locale: locale) end if Cldr.Code.ensure_compiled?(CalendarInterval) do def to_string(%CalendarInterval{} = interval, backend) when is_atom(backend) do {locale, backend} = Cldr.locale_and_backend_from(nil, backend) to_string(interval, backend, locale: locale) end end @doc false def to_string(unquote(date()) = from, unquote(date()) = to, backend) when is_atom(backend) do {locale, backend} = Cldr.locale_and_backend_from(nil, backend) to_string(from, to, backend, locale: locale) end def to_string(unquote(time()) = from, unquote(time()) = to, backend) when is_atom(backend) do {locale, backend} = Cldr.locale_and_backend_from(nil, backend) to_string(from, to, backend, locale: locale) end # Dual argument version with options def to_string(%Date.Range{} = range, options) when is_list(options) do {locale, backend} = Cldr.locale_and_backend_from(options) to_string(range, backend, locale: Keyword.put_new(options, :locale, locale)) end if Cldr.Code.ensure_compiled?(CalendarInterval) do def to_string(%CalendarInterval{} = interval, options) when is_list(options) do {locale, backend} = Cldr.locale_and_backend_from(options) to_string(interval, backend, Keyword.put_new(options, :locale, locale)) end end def to_string(unquote(date()) = from, unquote(date()) = to, options) when is_list(options) do {locale, backend} = Cldr.locale_and_backend_from(options) options = Keyword.put_new(options, :locale, locale) to_string(from, to, backend, options) end def to_string(unquote(time()) = from, unquote(time()) = to, options) when is_list(options) do {locale, backend} = Cldr.locale_and_backend_from(options) options = Keyword.put_new(options, :locale, locale) to_string(from, to, backend, options) end @doc """ Returns a `t:Date.Range.t/0` or `t:CalendarInterval.t/0` as a localised string. ### Arguments * `range` is either a `t:Date.Range.t/0` returned from `Date.range/2` or a `CalendarInterval.t`. * `backend` is any module that includes `use Cldr` and is therefore a `Cldr` backend module * `options` is a keyword list of options.
