@alex-x-x-x-x Thanks for the reference, but this doesn't really cut it.
For instance, if you have a coupon that is good until a certain day and are using a property with a type that really represents an "instance" in the time continuum, e.g. Date
, the meaning is not really apparent. You'll either have to make it the midnight of the first "bad" date and check for less than or make it some arbitrary point in time of the last good date. Either way, it makes the code very confusing and unexpressive.
Sure it can be done, but that's like saying you only need a Int64
or TimeInterval
because all use-cases can be covered. There's no need for time zones, date types, etc.
Joda-time has the notion of a
LocalDate
, which is date without time; basically, what we mean by date in normal day-to-day English. I'm wondering if the SwiftDate library has it.I dug around a bit and am 99% sure there isn't, but just to be sure. If there isn't, do you guys have any plans to support it?
Thank you :)
