Class: Time

baja. Time


new Time()

Represents a baja:Time in BajaScript.

Time stores a time of day which is independent
of any date in the past or future.

When creating a Simple, always use the make() method instead of
creating a new Object.

Methods


<static> make(obj)

Make a Time.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
obj Object | number

the object literal used for the method's
arguments, or number of milliseconds past the start of the day.

Properties
Name Type Argument Description
hour Number <optional>

hours - (0-23).

min Number <optional>

minutes - (0-59).

sec Number <optional>

seconds - (0-59).

ms Number <optional>

milliseconds - (0-999).

relTime baja.RelTime <optional>

if defined, this is the milliseconds
since the start of the day. This overrides the other hour, min, sec and ms
arguments.

milliseconds number <optional>

if defined, this is the milliseconds
since the start of the day. This overrides the other hour, min, sec, ms
and relTime arguments.

Returns:
Type
baja.Time
Example
// An object literal is used for the method's arguments...
  var t1 = baja.Time.make({
    hour: 23,
    min: 12,
    sec: 15,
    ms: 789
  });
  
  // ...or use a baja.RelTime to specify hour, min, sec and ms...
  var t2 = baja.Time.make({
    relTime: myRelTime
  });
  
  // ...or pass in milliseconds past midnight...
  var t3 = baja.Time.make(12345);

add(duration)

Return a new time of day by adding the specified duration. If the result
goes past midnight, then roll into the next day.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
duration baja.RelTime | baja.Time | Number

RelTime or number of
millis

Returns:

the new time with the duration added on.

Type
baja.Time

decodeAsync(str [, batch])

The string encoding of certain Simples may include Type information, or
other data that may be require asynchronous operations to decode. BOX is
designed to handle these situations when decoding data from the station,
but when user code needs to decode string-encoded Simples directly, prefer
this method as it gives the individual Simple a chance to import Types,
etc. to ensure that the decoded Simple is fully correct.

The default implementation just returns decodeFromString directly.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
str string
batch baja.comm.Batch <optional>

optional batch to use

Inherited From:
Returns:

may return the Simple instance
directly, or a Promise resolving to same - so wrap in Promise.resolve()
if unsure.

Type
baja.Simple | Promise.<baja.Simple>

decodeFromString(str)

Decode a Time from a String.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
str String
Overrides:
Returns:
Type
baja.Time

encodeToString()

Encode a Time to a String.

Overrides:
Returns:
Type
String

equals(obj)

Equality test.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
obj
Overrides:
Returns:
Type
Boolean

equivalent(obj)

Equivalence test.

equivalent() is used to compare if two Objects have equivalent
state, but might not want to return true for equals since it
it has implied semantics for many operations. The default
implementation returns the result of baja.Object#equals.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
obj
Inherited From:
Returns:
Type
Boolean

getAgents( [is], batch)

Returns a promise that resolves to the agent list for this Object.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
is Array.<String> <optional>

An optional array of filters to add to the
agent query.

batch baja.comm.Batch

An optional object used to batch network
calls together.

Inherited From:
See:
Returns:

A promise that will resolve with the Agent Info.

Type
Promise

getHour()

Return hours (0-23).

Returns:
Type
Number

getIcon()

Return the Object's Icon.

Inherited From:
Returns:
Type
baja.Icon

getMillisecond()

Return milliseconds (0-999).

Returns:
Type
Number

getMinute()

Return minutes (0-59).

Returns:
Type
Number

getSecond()

Return seconds (0-59).

Returns:
Type
Number

getTimeOfDayMillis()

Return the milliseconds since the start of the day.

Returns:
Type
Number

getType()

Get the type of this instance.

Returns:
Type
Type

isAfter(time)

Return true if the specified time is after this time.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
time baja.Time
Returns:
Type
Boolean

isBefore(time)

Return true if the specified time is before this time.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
time baja.Time
Returns:
Type
Boolean

make(obj)

Make a Time.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
obj Object

the object literal used for the method's arguments.

Properties
Name Type Argument Description
hour Number <optional>

hours - (0-23).

min Number <optional>

minutes - (0-59).

sec Number <optional>

seconds - (0-59).

ms Number <optional>

milliseconds - (0-999).

relTime baja.RelTime <optional>

if defined, this is the milliseconds
since the start of the day. This overrides the other hour, min, sec and ms
arguments.

Overrides:
Returns:
Type
baja.Time
Example
// An object literal is used for the method's arguments...
  var t1 = baja.$("baja:Time").make({
    hour: 23,
    min: 12,
    sec: 15,
    ms: 789
  });
  
  // ...or use a baja.RelTime to specify hour, min, sec and ms...
  var t2 = baja.$("baja:Time").make({
    relTime: timeOfDayMillis 
  });
  
  // ...or pass in milliseconds past midnight...
  var t3 = baja.Time.make(12345);

newCopy( [exact])

Every value may be cloned using the newCopy method.

Please note that Simples are immutable so they don't
allocate a new instance.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
exact Boolean <optional>

true if an exact copy of the value should be
made (only valid in the Component architecture).

Inherited From:
See:
Returns:

a copy of the value (or the same instance if the value is a
Simple).


toString()

Overrides:
See:
  • .toTimeStringSync

toTimeString( [obj])

Asynchronously get a String representation of the time.

This method is invoked asynchronously. A Function callback or an object
literal that contains a Function callback must be supplied.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
obj Object | function <optional>

the Object Literal for the method's arguments
or a Function that will be called with the formatting time String.

Properties
Name Type Argument Description
ok function <optional>

(Deprecated: use Promise) the Function callback
that will be invoked once the time has been formatted into a String.

fail function <optional>

(Deprecated: use Promise) the Function
callback that will be invoked if a fatal error occurs whilst formatting the
String.

textPattern String <optional>

the text pattern to use for formatting.
If not specified, then the user's default time format text pattern will be
used.

show Number <optional>

flags used to format the time. For more
information, please see baja.TimeFormat.

Returns:

promise to be resolved with the time string

Type
Promise.<String>
Example
myTime.toTimeString().then(function(timeStr) {
    baja.outln("The time is: " + timeStr);
  });

toTimeStringSync(obj)

Synchronously get a String representation of the time.

This method is invoked synchronously. The string result will be returned
directly from this function. Since building up Time string
representations requires the baja lexicon, said lexicon must already be
retrieved and passed into this method. Apart from that, the behavior is the
same as the asynchronous baja.Time#toTimeString.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
obj Object | function

the Object Literal for the method's arguments
or a Function that will be called with the formatting time String.

Properties
Name Type Argument Description
textPattern String <optional>

the text pattern to use for formatting.
If not specified, then the user's default time format text pattern will be
used.

show Number <optional>

flags used to format the time. For more
information, please see baja.TimeFormat.

lex

the baja lexicon

Throws:

if the lexicon is not passed in, or is not the
baja lexicon

Type
Error
Returns:
Type
String

valueOf()

Return the inner value of the object.

By default the object's instance is returned.

Inherited From:
Returns:

the inner value of the object or just the object's instance.
