How do you format date-times in RFC 3339 style?

How do you format date-times in RFC 3339 style?

[sirgazil]

Hi,

I'm generating atom feeds from SXML that don't validate because of the 
date-time format I'm using:

 > (use-modules (srfi srfi-19))
 > (date->string (current-date) "~Y-~m-~dT~H:~M.~S~z")
$1 = "2019-02-11T13:42.57-0500"

String $1 is close to the RFC 3339 style,¹ which is the required format 
for atom feeds, but the time zone offset should be -05:00, and Guile's 
SRFI-19 ~z time zone escape is RFC 822 style, which formats the time 
zone offset as -0500.

What should I do to get the offset in the required format?


Thanks,

Hi there!
Guile web module has provided an unexpected API for that:

(define write-date (@@ (web http) write-date))

Hi, Nala :)

I think I prefer using public procedures, so I'll leave the error there 
for now.

But I'm curious, how do you get the time zone offset using `write-date`?

port)))
$1 = "Tue, 12 Feb 2019 14:23:52 GMT"

I was hoping `write-date` would write the date/time in RFC 3339 format 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339#section-5.8).

Sorry for the misleading, what I thought is RFC1123. Please ingnore my
answer. :-(

I suppose you could hack your way around this:

(use-modules (srfi srfi-19))
(let* ((now (current-date))
       (tz  (date->string now "~z")))
 (string-append (date->string now "~Y-~m-~dT~H:~M.~S")
                (string-drop-right tz 2) ":" (string-take-right tz 2)))

What do you think?

Well, I was trying to avoid that hoping to find an obscure RFC 3339 
module or something first... But thanks, Ricardo :)

How do you format date-times in RFC 3339 style?

[tantalum]

i once wrote a rfc3339 reader/writer and worked through some gotchas, maybe the code contains hints that are helpful.
for example, here is a function that converts from a timestamp to a rfc3339 date string:

   (define* (utc->rfc3339 a #:optional (offset 0) (seconds-fraction 0))
     "integer:posix-time -> string"
     (let
       ( (date-time
           (let (t (gmtime (+ a offset)))
             (apply
               (l (y m d h mi s)
                 (string-append y "-"
                   m "-"
                   d "T"
                   h ":"
                   mi ":"
                   s
                   (if (zero? seconds-fraction) ""
                     (string-append "." (number->string seconds-fraction)))))
               (map number->padded-string
                 (list (+ 1900 (tm:year t)) (+ 1 (tm:mon t))
                   (tm:mday t) (tm:hour t) (tm:min t) (tm:sec t))))))
         (offset
           (if (zero? offset) "Z"
             (apply
               (l (sign numbers)
                 (string-append sign (string-join (map number->padded-string numbers) ":")))
               (let* ((hms (drop-right (utc-duration->hms offset) 1)) (hours (first hms)))
                 (if (any negative? hms) (list "-" (map (l (a) (* -1 a)) hms)) (list "+" hms)))))))
       (string-append date-time offset)))

l: lambda, first: car

the code passes these tests (examples of valid strings):

 From these tests, I think this could work for me, thanks.

You know what would be great? If you packaged "sph-lib" for GNU Guix :) 
That way I could easily install it and your library would be visible in 
the list of packages in Guile website.

that is a good point, i plan on trying to do that, again. with the last 
two tries i couldnt find a simple example or documentation for creating 
a guix package that doesnt use autotools.

You can use the guile-build-system.  You can look at
guile-picture-language in gnu/packages/guile-xyz.scm in the Guix sources
for an example.
