Class TemporalAdjusters

java.lang.Object
java.time.temporal.TemporalAdjusters
public final class TemporalAdjusters extends Object
Common and useful TemporalAdjusters.

Adjusters are a key tool for modifying temporal objects. They exist to externalize the process of adjustment, permitting different approaches, as per the strategy design pattern. Examples might be an adjuster that sets the date avoiding weekends, or one that sets the date to the last day of the month.

There are two equivalent ways of using a TemporalAdjuster. The first is to invoke the method on the interface directly. The second is to use Temporal.with(TemporalAdjuster): 

   // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
   temporal = thisAdjuster.adjustInto(temporal);
   temporal = temporal.with(thisAdjuster);
It is recommended to use the second approach, with(TemporalAdjuster), as it is a lot clearer to read in code.

This class contains a standard set of adjusters, available as static methods. These include:

  • finding the first or last day of the month
  • finding the first day of next month
  • finding the first or last day of the year
  • finding the first day of next year
  • finding the first or last day-of-week within a month, such as "first Wednesday in June"
  • finding the next or previous day-of-week, such as "next Thursday"
Implementation Requirements:
All the implementations supplied by the static methods are immutable.

  • Method Details

    • ofDateAdjuster

      public static TemporalAdjuster ofDateAdjuster(UnaryOperator<LocalDate> dateBasedAdjuster)
      Obtains a TemporalAdjuster that wraps a date adjuster.

      The TemporalAdjuster is based on the low level Temporal interface. This method allows an adjustment from LocalDate to LocalDate to be wrapped to match the temporal-based interface. This is provided for convenience to make user-written adjusters simpler.

      In general, user-written adjusters should be static constants: 

      
  static TemporalAdjuster TWO_DAYS_LATER =
       TemporalAdjusters.ofDateAdjuster(date -> date.plusDays(2));
      Parameters:
      dateBasedAdjuster - the date-based adjuster, not null
      Returns:
      the temporal adjuster wrapping on the date adjuster, not null

    • firstDayOfMonth

      public static TemporalAdjuster firstDayOfMonth()
      Returns the "first day of month" adjuster, which returns a new date set to the first day of the current month.

      The ISO calendar system behaves as follows:
      The input 2011-01-15 will return 2011-01-01.
      The input 2011-02-15 will return 2011-02-01.

      The behavior is suitable for use with most calendar systems. It is equivalent to: 

        temporal.with(DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
      Returns:
      the first day-of-month adjuster, not null

    • lastDayOfMonth

      public static TemporalAdjuster lastDayOfMonth()

      The behavior is suitable for use with most calendar systems. It uses the DAY_OF_WEEK and DAY_OF_MONTH fields and the DAYS unit, and assumes a seven day week.

      Parameters:

    • dayOfWeekInMonth

      public static TemporalAdjuster dayOfWeekInMonth(int ordinal, DayOfWeek dayOfWeek)
      Returns the day-of-week in month adjuster, which returns a new date with the ordinal day-of-week based on the month. This is used for expressions like the 'second Tuesday in March'.

      The ISO calendar system behaves as follows:
      The input 2011-12-15 for (1,TUESDAY) will return 2011-12-06.
      The input 2011-12-15 for (2,TUESDAY) will return 2011-12-13.
      The input 2011-12-15 for (3,TUESDAY) will return 2011-12-20.
      The input 2011-12-15 for (4,TUESDAY) will return 2011-12-27.

      The input 2011-12-15 for (-5,TUESDAY) will return 2011-11-29 (4 weeks before last in month).
      The input 2011-12-15 for (0,TUESDAY) will return 2011-11-29 (last in previous month).

      For a positive or zero ordinal, the algorithm is equivalent to finding the first day-of-week that matches within the month and then adding a number of weeks to it. For a negative ordinal, the algorithm is equivalent to finding the last day-of-week that matches within the month and then subtracting a number of weeks to it. The ordinal number of weeks is not validated and is interpreted leniently according to this algorithm. This definition means that an ordinal of zero finds the last matching day-of-week in the previous month.

      The behavior is suitable for use with most calendar systems. It uses the DAY_OF_WEEK and DAY_OF_MONTH fields and the DAYS unit, and assumes a seven day week.

      Parameters:
      ordinal - the week within the month, unbounded but typically from -5 to 5
      dayOfWeek - the day-of-week, not null
      Returns:
      the day-of-week in month adjuster, not null
