Persian Date Time Save

This library is an implementation of Solar Hijri calendar (also known as Jalali calendar or Persian calendar). It is an immutable and thread-safe implementation of Persian calendar system, and can be used in multi-threaded programs.

As Java does not support Persian calendar, this library can be used in the applications that need Persian calendar system. Purpose of this library is to provide an immutable and easy API (that is similar to JDK 8 date and time API) for Persian calendar system. This class has been implemented the same as internal JDK calendars such as JapaneseDate.

Instructions

Maven

Include the following to your dependency list:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.mfathi91</groupId>
  <artifactId>persian-date-time</artifactId>
  <version>4.2.1</version>
</dependency>

Usage

PersianDate: The base class for Persian date handling. Here are some trivial examples on how to use different functionalities of PersianDate

// Instantiate 
PersianDate today = PersianDate.now();
PersianDate persianDate1 = PersianDate.of(1396, 7, 15);
PersianDate persianDate2 = PersianDate.of(1396, PersianMonth.MEHR, 15);

// Convert
PersianDate persianDate5 = PersianDate.of(1397, 5, 11);
LocalDate gregDate = persianDate.toGregorian();    // => '2018-08-02'
PersianDate persianDate6 = PersianDate.fromGregorian(gregDate);  //  => '1397/05/11'

// Parse
PersianDate persianDate3 = PersianDate.parse("1400-06-15");    // From the standard format
PersianDate persianDate4 = PersianDate.parse("1400/06/15", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy/MM/dd"));    // From a desired format

// Format
DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy/MM/dd");
dtf.format(PersianDate.now());    // => e.g. '1396/05/10'

PersianDateTime: A wrapper class around PersianDate and LocalTime to make the date-time handling more convenient. Here are some trivial examples of PersianDateTime

// Instantiate
PersianDateTime now = PersianDateTime.now();    // => 'now' will contain the instantiated date and time
PersianDateTime persianDateTime2 = PersianDateTime.of(PersianDate.of(1400, PersianMonth.DEY, 15), LocalTime.of(17, 55, 19));
PersianDateTime persianDateTime3 = PersianDateTime.of(1400, PersianMonth.DEY, 15, 17, 55, 19);

// Parse
PersianDateTime persianDateTime4 = PersianDateTime.parse("1401-06-10T08:35:11");    // From the standard format
PersianDateTime persianDateTime5 = PersianDateTime.parse("1400-06-15_11-38-43", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss"));    // From a desired format

// Format
DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
dtf.format(PersianDateTime.now());    // => e.g. '1396/05/10 14:05:11'

The conversion algorithm from Solar Hijri calendar to Gregorian calendar and vice versa, is adopted from here.
