1# d3-time-format2 3This module provides a JavaScript implementation of the venerable [strptime](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/strptime.html) and [strftime](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/strftime.html) functions from the C standard library, and can be used to parse or format [dates](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date) in a variety of locale-specific representations. To format a date, create a [formatter](#locale_format) from a specifier (a string with the desired format *directives*, indicated by `%`); then pass a date to the formatter, which returns a string. For example, to convert the current date to a human-readable string:4 5```js6const formatTime = d3.timeFormat("%B %d, %Y");7formatTime(new Date); // "June 30, 2015"8```9 10Likewise, to convert a string back to a date, create a [parser](#locale_parse):11 12```js13const parseTime = d3.timeParse("%B %d, %Y");14parseTime("June 30, 2015"); // Tue Jun 30 2015 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)15```16 17You can implement more elaborate conditional time formats, too. For example, here’s a [multi-scale time format](https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4149176) using [time intervals](https://github.com/d3/d3-time):18 19```js20const formatMillisecond = d3.timeFormat(".%L"),21    formatSecond = d3.timeFormat(":%S"),22    formatMinute = d3.timeFormat("%I:%M"),23    formatHour = d3.timeFormat("%I %p"),24    formatDay = d3.timeFormat("%a %d"),25    formatWeek = d3.timeFormat("%b %d"),26    formatMonth = d3.timeFormat("%B"),27    formatYear = d3.timeFormat("%Y");28 29function multiFormat(date) {30  return (d3.timeSecond(date) < date ? formatMillisecond31      : d3.timeMinute(date) < date ? formatSecond32      : d3.timeHour(date) < date ? formatMinute33      : d3.timeDay(date) < date ? formatHour34      : d3.timeMonth(date) < date ? (d3.timeWeek(date) < date ? formatDay : formatWeek)35      : d3.timeYear(date) < date ? formatMonth36      : formatYear)(date);37}38```39 40This module is used by D3 [time scales](https://github.com/d3/d3-scale/blob/main/README.md#time-scales) to generate human-readable ticks.41 42## Installing43 44If you use npm, `npm install d3-time-format`. You can also download the [latest release on GitHub](https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/releases/latest). For vanilla HTML in modern browsers, import d3-time-format from Skypack:45 46```html47<script type="module">48 49import {timeFormat} from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/d3-time-format@4";50 51const format = timeFormat("%x");52 53</script>54```55 56For legacy environments, you can load d3-time-format’s UMD bundle from an npm-based CDN such as jsDelivr; a `d3` global is exported:57 58```html59<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/d3-array@3"></script>60<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/d3-time@3"></script>61<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/d3-time-format@4"></script>62<script>63 64const format = d3.timeFormat("%x");65 66</script>67 68Locale files are published to npm and can be loaded using [d3.json](https://github.com/d3/d3-fetch/blob/main/README.md#json). For example, to set Russian as the default locale:69 70```js71d3.json("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/d3-time-format@3/locale/ru-RU.json").then(locale => {72  d3.timeFormatDefaultLocale(locale);73 74  const format = d3.timeFormat("%c");75 76  console.log(format(new Date)); // понедельник,  5 декабря 2016 г. 10:31:5977});78```79 80## API Reference81 82<a name="timeFormat" href="#timeFormat">#</a> d3.<b>timeFormat</b>(<i>specifier</i>) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/blob/main/src/defaultLocale.js)83 84An alias for [*locale*.format](#locale_format) on the [default locale](#timeFormatDefaultLocale).85 86<a name="timeParse" href="#timeParse">#</a> d3.<b>timeParse</b>(<i>specifier</i>) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/blob/main/src/defaultLocale.js)87 88An alias for [*locale*.parse](#locale_parse) on the [default locale](#timeFormatDefaultLocale).89 90<a name="utcFormat" href="#utcFormat">#</a> d3.<b>utcFormat</b>(<i>specifier</i>) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/blob/main/src/defaultLocale.js)91 92An alias for [*locale*.utcFormat](#locale_utcFormat) on the [default locale](#timeFormatDefaultLocale).93 94<a name="utcParse" href="#utcParse">#</a> d3.<b>utcParse</b>(<i>specifier</i>) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/blob/main/src/defaultLocale.js)95 96An alias for [*locale*.utcParse](#locale_utcParse) on the [default locale](#timeFormatDefaultLocale).97 98<a name="isoFormat" href="#isoFormat">#</a> d3.<b>isoFormat</b> · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/blob/main/src/isoFormat.js)99 100The full [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) UTC time formatter.

The specifier string may contain the following directives:113 114* `%a` - abbreviated weekday name.*115* `%A` - full weekday name.*116* `%b` - abbreviated month name.*117* `%B` - full month name.*118* `%c` - the locale’s date and time, such as `%x, %X`.*119* `%d` - zero-padded day of the month as a decimal number [01,31].120* `%e` - space-padded day of the month as a decimal number [ 1,31]; equivalent to `%_d`.121* `%f` - microseconds as a decimal number [000000, 999999].122* `%g` - ISO 8601 week-based year without century as a decimal number [00,99].123* `%G` - ISO 8601 week-based year with century as a decimal number.124* `%H` - hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number [00,23].125* `%I` - hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number [01,12].126* `%j` - day of the year as a decimal number [001,366].127* `%m` - month as a decimal number [01,12].128* `%M` - minute as a decimal number [00,59].129* `%L` - milliseconds as a decimal number [000, 999].130* `%p` - either AM or PM.*131* `%q` - quarter of the year as a decimal number [1,4].132* `%Q` - milliseconds since UNIX epoch.133* `%s` - seconds since UNIX epoch.134* `%S` - second as a decimal number [00,61].135* `%u` - Monday-based (ISO 8601) weekday as a decimal number [1,7].136* `%U` - Sunday-based week of the year as a decimal number [00,53].137* `%V` - ISO 8601 week of the year as a decimal number [01, 53].138* `%w` - Sunday-based weekday as a decimal number [0,6].139* `%W` - Monday-based week of the year as a decimal number [00,53].140* `%x` - the locale’s date, such as `%-m/%-d/%Y`.*141* `%X` - the locale’s time, such as `%-I:%M:%S %p`.*142* `%y` - year without century as a decimal number [00,99].143* `%Y` - year with century as a decimal number, such as `1999`.144* `%Z` - time zone offset, such as `-0700`, `-07:00`, `-07`, or `Z`.145* `%%` - a literal percent sign (`%`).146 147Directives marked with an asterisk (\*) may be affected by the [locale definition](#locales).148 149For `%U`, all days in a new year preceding the first Sunday are considered to be in week 0. For `%W`, all days in a new year preceding the first Monday are considered to be in week 0. Week numbers are computed using [*interval*.count](https://github.com/d3/d3-time/blob/main/README.md#interval_count). For example, 2015-52 and 2016-00 represent Monday, December 28, 2015, while 2015-53 and 2016-01 represent Monday, January 4, 2016. This differs from the [ISO week date](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date) specification (`%V`), which uses a more complicated definition!150 151For `%V`,`%g` and `%G`, per the [strftime man page](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strftime.3.html):152 153> In this system, weeks start on a Monday, and are numbered from 01, for the first week, up to 52 or 53, for the last week.  Week 1 is the first week where four or more days fall within the new year (or, synonymously, week 01 is: the first week of the year that contains a Thursday; or, the week that has 4 January in it). If the ISO week number belongs to the previous or next year, that year is used instead.154 155The `%` sign indicating a directive may be immediately followed by a padding modifier:156 157* `0` - zero-padding158* `_` - space-padding159* `-` - disable padding160 161If no padding modifier is specified, the default is `0` for all directives except `%e`, which defaults to `_`. (In some implementations of strftime and strptime, a directive may include an optional field width or precision; this feature is not yet implemented.)162 163The returned function formats a specified *[date](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date)*, returning the corresponding string.164 165```js166const formatMonth = d3.timeFormat("%B"),167    formatDay = d3.timeFormat("%A"),168    date = new Date(2014, 4, 1); // Thu May 01 2014 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)169 170formatMonth(date); // "May"171formatDay(date); // "Thursday"172```173 174<a name="locale_parse" href="#locale_parse">#</a> <i>locale</i>.<b>parse</b>(<i>specifier</i>) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/blob/main/src/locale.js)175 176Returns a new parser for the given string *specifier*. The specifier string may contain the same directives as [*locale*.format](#locale_format). The `%d` and `%e` directives are considered equivalent for parsing.177 178The returned function parses a specified *string*, returning the corresponding [date](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date) or null if the string could not be parsed according to this format’s specifier. Parsing is strict: if the specified <i>string</i> does not exactly match the associated specifier, this method returns null. For example, if the associated specifier is `%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ`, then the string `"2011-07-01T19:15:28Z"` will be parsed as expected, but `"2011-07-01T19:15:28"`, `"2011-07-01 19:15:28"` and `"2011-07-01"` will return null. (Note that the literal `Z` here is different from the time zone offset directive `%Z`.) If a more flexible parser is desired, try multiple formats sequentially until one returns non-null.179 180<a name="locale_utcFormat" href="#locale_utcFormat">#</a> <i>locale</i>.<b>utcFormat</b>(<i>specifier</i>) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/blob/main/src/locale.js)181 182Equivalent to [*locale*.format](#locale_format), except all directives are interpreted as [Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time) rather than local time.183 184<a name="locale_utcParse" href="#locale_utcParse">#</a> <i>locale</i>.<b>utcParse</b>(<i>specifier</i>) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/blob/main/src/locale.js)185 186Equivalent to [*locale*.parse](#locale_parse), except all directives are interpreted as [Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time) rather than local time.187 188### Locales189 190<a name="timeFormatLocale" href="#timeFormatLocale">#</a> d3.<b>timeFormatLocale</b>(<i>definition</i>) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/blob/main/src/locale.js)191 192Returns a *locale* object for the specified *definition* with [*locale*.format](#locale_format), [*locale*.parse](#locale_parse), [*locale*.utcFormat](#locale_utcFormat), [*locale*.utcParse](#locale_utcParse) methods.
