Description

ddf-time-utils is created for DDF time format checking and manipulation.

Exported constants

• YEAR_TYPE
• QUARTER_TYPE
• MONTH_TYPE
• WEEK_TYPE
• DATE_TYPE

These constants describes five different kinds of time supported by DDF.

Exported functions

• getTimeRange(timeRangeQuery): timeRange
• detectTimeType(time): timeType

More info - in Examples section.

Examples

Time type detection

const ddfTimeUtils = require('ddf-time-utils');

const resultYear = ddfTimeUtils.detectTimeType('2000');
const resultQuarter = ddfTimeUtils.detectTimeType('2000q1');
const resultMonth = ddfTimeUtils.detectTimeType('200001');
const resultWeek = ddfTimeUtils.detectTimeType('2000w01');
const resultDate = ddfTimeUtils.detectTimeType('2000102');

console.log(resultYear === ddfTimeUtils.YEAR_TYPE);
console.log(resultQuarter === ddfTimeUtils.QUARTER_TYPE);
console.log(resultMonth === ddfTimeUtils.MONTH_TYPE);
console.log(resultWeek === ddfTimeUtils.WEEK_TYPE);
console.log(resultDate === ddfTimeUtils.DATE_TYPE);

Time type detection (incorrect time)

const ddfTimeUtils = require('ddf-time-utils');
const result = ddfTimeUtils.detectTimeType('200x0102');

console.log(result === null);

Time range detection

const ddfTimeUtils = require('ddf-time-utils');

const simpleResult = ddfTimeUtils.getTimeRange(['1990']);
const multipleResult = ddfTimeUtils.getTimeRange(['1800', ['2013', '2015'], '2017', '980']);

console.log(simpleResult);
console.log(multipleResult);

Result:

[ '1990' ]
[ '1800', '2013', '2014', '2015', '2017', '980' ]

const ddfTimeUtils = require('ddf-time-utils');

const result = ddfTimeUtils.getTimeRange([['1990q1', '1992q2'], '1993q4']);

console.log(result);

Result:

[ '1990q1',
  '1990q2',
  '1990q3',
  '1990q4',
  '1991q1',
  '1991q2',
  '1991q3',
  '1991q4',
  '1992q1',
  '1992q2',
  '1993q4' ]

Time range detection (incorrect way)

const ddfTimeUtils = require('ddf-time-utils');
// time range detection is possible only for same kind of time
// we have `year` and `quarter` types in same query
const result = ddfTimeUtils.getTimeRange(['2015', '2011q1']);

console.log(result);

Result:

null

const ddfTimeUtils = require('ddf-time-utils');
// unexpected time
const result = ddfTimeUtils.getTimeRange(['foo']);

console.log(result);

Result:

null
