NAME

DateTime::Schedule - Determine scheduled days in range based on exclusions

SYNOPSIS

use DateTime::Schedule;

my $dts = DateTime::Schedule->new(exclude => [
  DateTime->new(year => 2024, month => 01, day => 01),
  DateTime->new(year => 2024, month => 07, day => 04),
  DateTime->new(year => 2024, month => 12, day => 25)
]);

my $start = DateTime->new(year => 2024, month => 1, day => 1);
my $end = DateTime->new(year => 2024, month => 12, day => 31);
print $dts->days_in_range($start, $end)->count; # 363

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple class that allows you to find out which days are "scheduled" between a start date and an end date. For instance, given the start date of a school year, and the current date, and with all school holidays entered as "exclude"d, this can tell you how many school days have elapsed in the year.

CONSTRUCTORS

new

Default constructor. Returns a new DateTime::Schedule instance.

Parameters:

portion

Optional. Default 1.

A number between 0 and 1 indicating how much of a day must elapse to be included/excluded at the boundaries of the range.

exclude

Optional. Default []

An arrayref of DateTimes. These days are exclusions to the normal schedule (e.g., holidays). Any time-portion of the DateTimes is ignored.

METHODS

is_day_scheduled($datetime)

Given a DateTime, returns true/false to indicate whether that day is scheduled or not.

Should be overridden by subclasses.

days_in_range($start, $end)

Given start/end DateTimes, returns a DateTime::Set of all the days which are scheduled (i.e., not excluded)
