class DateTools
Available in flash8, neko, js, flash, php, cpp

The DateTools class contains some extra functionalities for handling Date instances and timestamps.

In the context of haxe dates, a timestamp is defined as the number of milliseconds elapsed since 1st January 1970.

static inline function days(n : Float) : Float
Converts a number of days to a timestamp.
static inline function delta(d : Date, t : Float) : Date

Returns the result of adding timestamp t to Date d.

This is a convenience function for calling Date.fromTime(d.getTime() + t).

static function format(d : Date, f : String) : String
Format the date d according to the format f. The format is compatible with the strftime standard format, except that there is no support in Flash and JS for day and months names (due to lack of proper internationalization API). On haXe/Neko/Windows, some formats are not supported.
static function getMonthDays(d : Date) : Int

Returns the number of days in the month of Date d.

This method handles leap years.

static inline function hours(n : Float) : Float
Converts a number of hours to a timestamp.
static function make(o : { seconds : Int, ms : Float, minutes : Int, hours : Int, days : Int}) : Float
Build a date-time from several components
static function makeUtc(year : Int, month : Int, day : Int, hour : Int, min : Int, sec : Int) : Float
Available in flash8, js, flash, php, cpp
Retrieve Unix timestamp value from Date components. Takes same argument sequence as the Date constructor.
static inline function minutes(n : Float) : Float
Converts a number of minutes to a timestamp.
static function parse(t : Float) : { seconds : Int, ms : Float, minutes : Int, hours : Int, days : Int}
Separate a date-time into several components
static inline function seconds(n : Float) : Float
Converts a number of seconds to a timestamp.
