Time API

The Time API provides information regarding date/time and time zones.

The JavaScript Date object does not have full timezone support. Date objects allow only simple representations to denote a particular location's offset from Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). This is typically provided as a +/- offset from UTC-0 (also known as Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT) for example, +05:30 denotes that a location is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of UTC +00:00. The issue with this method is not getting the correct local time for a given date. The existing methods are sufficient for this purpose. The issue is correctly converting to and from local time and UTC for all points in time - in any of the past, present, and future - based on an initial time provided. This is important for defining relative dates, where a time in a given location may observe different UTC offsets, according to any Daylight Savings Rules (DST) in effect or any other changes that may occur to a location's time zone over time. Without the communication of the explicit time zone rules governing a given date and time, the ability to effectively calculate the offset of the local time to UTC or to any other time zone at any point in the past or future is lost.

This API can be used to get TZDate objects with full time zone support, convert them between timezones, retrieve available timezones.

difference
Calculates the difference with another TZDate object. 
TimeDuration difference(TZDate other);

Since: 1.0

Calculates the difference in time between this and the other object. This comparison method takes timezones into consideration for the comparison.

The TimeDuration that is returned is effectively this - other. The return value is a duration in milliseconds both TZDate objects have a time component, in days, otherwise. The result value will be:

  • Negative, if other is in the future
  • 0 if the two date/times are equal
  • Positive, if other is in the past

Parameters:

  • other: The other Date/Time to compare to.

Return value:

    TimeDuration: The duration in milliseconds between the two date/time objects (or in days for comparison between dates with no time component).

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException

    • with error type TypeMismatchError, if the input parameter is not compatible with the expected type for that parameter.

    • with error type UnknownError, if the call failed due to an unknown error.

Code example:

/* Prepares two TZDates pointing at new year eves in 2011 and 2012, respectively. */
var newYearEve2011 = new tizen.TZDate(2011, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, "Europe/London");
var newYearEve2012 = new tizen.TZDate(2012, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, "Europe/London");

/* Calculates how much is the difference between those two dates. */
var difference = newYearEve2012.difference(newYearEve2011);
console.log("The difference is " + difference.length + " " + difference.unit);

Output example (since none of those dates have time component):

The difference is 365 DAYS

Code example:

/* Prepares two TZDates pointing at 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM on the same day. */
var joggingStart = new tizen.TZDate(2015, 6, 6, 18, 0, 0, 0, "Europe/London");
var joggingEnd = new tizen.TZDate(2015, 6, 6, 20, 0, 0, 0, "Europe/London");

/* Calculates how much is the difference between those two dates. */
var difference = joggingEnd.difference(joggingStart);

Output example (since both of those dates do have time component):

The difference is 7200000 MSECS

var sameTimeInKorea = noonInEngland.toTimezone("Asia/Seoul");
var isTheSame = noonInEngland.equalsTo(sameTimeInKorea);

/* Those are the same dates (in different time zones), so the output should be "Those dates are */
/* equal.". */
if (isTheSame)
{
  console.log("Those dates are equal.");
}
else
{
  console.log("Those dates are not equal.");
}

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException

    • with error type TypeMismatchError, if the input parameter is not compatible with the expected type for that parameter.

    • with error type UnknownError, if the call failed due to an unknown error.

Code example:

var d1 = new tizen.TimeDuration(120, "MINS");  /* 120 minutes. */
var d2 = new tizen.TimeDuration(1, "HOURS");   /* 1 hour. */
var ret = d1.greaterThan(d2);                  /* Returns true. */
