Getters: date-time

Source: R/posixt.R
posixt-getters.Rd

These are POSIXct/POSIXlt methods for the getter generics.

  • get_year() returns the Gregorian year.

  • get_month() returns the month of the year.

  • get_day() returns the day of the month.

  • There are sub-daily getters for extracting more precise components, up to a precision of seconds.

For more advanced component extraction, convert to the calendar type that you are interested in.

Usage

# S3 method for POSIXt
get_year(x)

# S3 method for POSIXt
get_month(x)

# S3 method for POSIXt
get_day(x)

# S3 method for POSIXt
get_hour(x)

# S3 method for POSIXt
get_minute(x)

# S3 method for POSIXt
get_second(x)

Arguments

x

[POSIXct / POSIXlt]

A date-time type to get the component from.

Value

The component.

Examples

x <- as.POSIXct("2019-01-01", tz = "America/New_York")

x <- add_days(x, 0:5)
x <- set_second(x, 10:15)

get_day(x)
#> [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6
get_second(x)
#> [1] 10 11 12 13 14 15
