A complete list of uses of the arrow library in python

First you need to install the arrow library:

pip install arrow

Arrow provides a sensible and user-friendly way to create, manipulate, and format converted dates, times, and timestamps, helping us work with dates and times using less import and less code.

Get local and world standard time:

Sample code:

import arrow
 
# Access to Universal Standard Time
utc_time = ()
print(utc_time)
 
# Get local time
local_time = ()
print(local_time)
 
# Get the time in the specified time zone
US_time = ('US/Pacific')
print(US_time)

Run results:

Convert timestamp to arrow object: (timestamp)

Sample code:

import time
import arrow
 
float_timestamp = ()
print(float_timestamp)
time_tmp = (float_timestamp)
print(time_tmp)
 
int_timestamp = int(())
print(int_timestamp)
time_tmp2 = (int_timestamp)
print(time_tmp2)

Run results:

The timestamp can be an int, a float or a string that can be converted to a float.

Convert a string to an arrow object: (string[,format_string])

Sample code:

import arrow
aa = ("2022-08-17 20:00:00", "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss")
print(aa)

Run results:

The time can be searched from a string with the format parameter

Sample code:

import arrow
aa = ("My birthday is in May 1995", "MMMM YYYY")
print(aa)

Run results:

You can also create arrow objects directly

Sample code:

import arrow
aa = (2022, 8, 17)
print(aa)

Run results:

Attributes of arrow object:datetime,timestamp,native,tzinfo

Sample code:

import arrow
 
aa = ()
print(aa)
print()
print()
print()
print()
 
print(type())
print(type())
print(type())
print(type())

Run results:

Convert to time zone by name or tzinfo

Sample code:

import arrow
aa = ()
print(aa)
bb = ('US/Pacific')
print(bb)

Run results:

Getting the value of a datetime object

Sample code:

import arrow
aa = ()
print(aa)
print()  # Current year
print()  # Current month
print()  # Current day
print()  # Current hour
print()  # How many minutes is the current
print()  # How many seconds is the current
print()  # Get timestamp
print(aa.float_timestamp)  # floating point timestamp

Run results:

time lapse (**kwargs): shift method to get a time before or after a certain time, the keyword parameter for years, months, weeks, days, hours, seconds, microseconds

Sample code:

import arrow
aa = ()
print(aa)  # Current time
print((weeks=-3))  # Three weeks ago
# print((weeks=3)) # after three weeks
print((weeks=+3))  # Three weeks later
print((days=-1))  # One day ago
print((days=1))  # One day later
print((weekday=6))  # nearestaaSundays,weekdaythrough (a gap)0until (a time)6

Run results:

Time Replacement (**kwargs): Returns a replaced arrow object, leaving the original unchanged.

Sample code:

import arrow
aa = ()
print(aa)
print((hour=6))
print((year=2023, month=3, day=6, hour=12, minute=12, second=12))
print((year=2023, month=3, day=6, hour=12, minute=12, second=12, microsecond=12))
print((year=2023, month=3, day=6, hour=12, minute=12, second=12, microsecond=12).to('UTC'))
print((year=2023, month=3, day=6, hour=12, minute=12, second=12, microsecond=12).to('local'))
print((year=2023, month=3, day=6, hour=12, minute=12, second=12, microsecond=12).to('local').naive)

Run results:

Formatted output: ([format_string])

Sample code:

import arrow
 
aa = ()
print(aa)
print(())
print(('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss ZZ'))
print(())  # Returns a ctime formatted representation of the date and time
print(())  # Return the day of the week as an integer (0-6)
print(())  # Returns the ISO days of the week in integer form (1-7)
print(())  # Returns a 3-tuple (ISO years, ISO weeks, ISO weekdays)
print(())  # Returns the Gregorian ordinal number of the date

Run results:

Humanized output: ()

Sample code:

import arrow
 
aa = ()
print((hours=-1))
print((hours=-1).humanize())  # Relative to current time
 
print((hours=2))
print((hours=2).humanize())  # Relative to parameter time
print((hours=2).humanize(locale='zh'))  # localeparameter can specify the regional language

Run results:

Get the time span of any time unit

Sample code:

import arrow
 
aa = ().span('hour')
print(aa)
bb = ().span('year')
print(bb)
cc = ().span('month')
print(cc)
dd = ().span('day')
print(dd)

Run results:

Get only the maximum or minimum value in any unit of time

Sample code:

import arrow
 
aa = ().floor('hour')
print(aa)
bb = ().ceil('hour')
print(bb)
cc = ().floor('day')
print(cc)
dd = ().ceil('day')
print(dd)
