Lenient date creation/resolving #282

Closed jodastephen closed 11 years ago

jodastephen commented 11 years ago

I had the challenge of creating a date leniently from a day-of-month in the range 1-31 today. These two options work today:

day = Math.min(day, YearMonth.of(year, month).lengthOfMonth());
day = Math.min(day, Month.of(month).length(Year.isLeap(year)));

The latter is clunky, the former is OK, but is still indirect (I really want a date, not to adjust the day) and it involves an object creation.

It would be worth adding one (or both) of these options:

date = YearMonth.of(year, month).atDayOrEndOfMonth(day);
date = YearMonth.of(year, month).atDayPreviousValid(day);
date = LocalDate.ofPreviousValid(year, month, day);

or a more general date resolver (interface or enum):

DateResolver.PREVIOUS_VALID.date(year, month, day);
DateResolver.STRICT.date(year, month, day);
DateResolver.PART_LENIENT.date(year, month, day);
DateResolver.LENIENT.date(year, month, day);
// and maybe
DateResolver.PREVIOUS_VALID.date(chronology, year, month, day);
// and even
DateResolver.LENIENT.addYearsMonths(localDate, 2, 3);

This last option could be linked to lenient parsing #115.

RogerRiggs commented 11 years ago

How about a real builder class that produces the equivalent of Parsed (which BTW, should not be public). Then the rest of the mechanisms we have for resolving dates can be used in the same manner as they are in DateTimeFormatter parsing. It can implement TemporalAccessor and be usable with any Chronology.

Builder with method like ZonedDateTime but mutable.

jodastephen commented 11 years ago

You mean a public class? Thats where we started from and have been trying to get away from...

I think we have enough ways for applications to build up date-times. Any builder is only useful when you need to make sense of a "random map" of date-time info, and parsing is the main use case for that. It would be better to keep any mechanism private and have a factory passing in a map if we want to expose it.

Ultimately, the DateResolver problem keeps being present (in coding, or leniency). We took it out to get us to where we are, but the ability it provides is still needed. A standalone utility class provides the functionality without affecting the rest of the code, which is why I bring it up.

RogerRiggs commented 11 years ago

DateTimeBuilder was not a real builder class and had all kinds of magic built-in, its API was not designed for use by developers. Only dates have this feature so a date-only mechanism is ok but it needs to support other chronologies, not just ISO. The leniency is only really needed to adapt the day, though perhaps in a Hebrew calendar handling the 13th month automatically would be useful to cope with entry errors.

Adding factory methods like date = LocalDate.ofPreviousValid(year, month, day); might be the simplest; they could be just in LocalDate and Chronology.dateOrPreviousValid. with proleptic and yearOfEra overrides.

jodastephen commented 11 years ago

A builder class focussed on just year-month-day doesn't add any value, while one merging any data is more complex.

Leniency doesn't just apply to day within month-year. Other fields have similar issues, such as year-month-day within era in Japanese, or day-of-year within year.

Thats why ofPreviousValid is quite a point specific solution, but DateResolver would scale better (more methods for each of the cases). Of course it depends on whether a suitable algorithm can be created for leniency that is chrono neutral. Otherwise, each chrono subclass will need to handle the various cases

(previous valid, next valid, part lenient and full lenient are the four basic approaches)

RogerRiggs commented 11 years ago

I don't the practical use cases for any but previous valid and the Chronology already needs to have a hand in the resolution. Adding a Leniency enum for the leniency choices for (previous and next ) and add a method to Chronology would be sufficient. Chronology.date(year, month, day, Leniency) Adding the other cases could be accommodated later. The leniency enum can then be part of the DateTimeFormatter context. There is still an issue with the relationship between Chronology .resolveDate and any leniency setting.

jodastephen commented 11 years ago

This approach might work OK, although the ChronoField resolve method may also need the Leniency object.

First part of a patch to add ResolverStyle, settable on DateTimeFormatter, controlling how the date/time is resolved.

The idea is to add a ResolverStyle argument to TemporalField.resolve() and Chronology.resolveDate(), so that the implementations can decide what to do.

See http://hg.openjdk.java.net/threeten/threeten/jdk/rev/fa5461db0139 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/threeten/threeten/jdk/rev/d8d90fa2a73a http://hg.openjdk.java.net/threeten/threeten/jdk/rev/35a4c497f286 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/threeten/threeten/jdk/rev/75c0b557aaec

Code still needed in Chronlogy and WeekFields. Plus tests and documentation.

I don't think there is any more to do here.
