FIRTimestamp
@interface FIRTimestamp : NSObject <NSCopying>
A Timestamp represents a point in time independent of any time zone or calendar, represented as
seconds and fractions of seconds at nanosecond resolution in UTC Epoch time. It is encoded using
the Proleptic Gregorian Calendar which extends the Gregorian calendar backwards to year one. It
is encoded assuming all minutes are 60 seconds long, i.e. leap seconds are smeared
so that no
leap second table is needed for interpretation. Range is from 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z to
9999-12-31T23:59:59.999999999Z. By restricting to that range, we ensure that we can convert to
and from RFC 3339 date strings.
See
https://github.com/google/protobuf/blob/master/src/google/protobuf/timestamp.proto for the reference timestamp definition.-
Creates a new timestamp.
Declaration
Objective-C
- (nonnull instancetype)initWithSeconds:(int64_t)seconds nanoseconds:(int32_t)nanoseconds;
Parameters
seconds
the number of seconds since epoch.
nanoseconds
the number of nanoseconds after the seconds.
-
Creates a new timestamp.
Declaration
Objective-C
+ (nonnull instancetype)timestampWithSeconds:(int64_t)seconds nanoseconds:(int32_t)nanoseconds;
Parameters
seconds
the number of seconds since epoch.
nanoseconds
the number of nanoseconds after the seconds.
-
Creates a new timestamp from the given date.
Declaration
Objective-C
+ (nonnull instancetype)timestampWithDate:(nonnull NSDate *)date;
-
Creates a new timestamp with the current date / time.
Declaration
Objective-C
+ (nonnull instancetype)timestamp;
-
Returns a new NSDate corresponding to this timestamp. This may lose precision.
Declaration
Objective-C
- (nonnull NSDate *)dateValue;
-
Returns the result of comparing the receiver with another timestamp.
Declaration
Objective-C
- (NSComparisonResult)compare:(nonnull FIRTimestamp *)other;
Parameters
other
the other timestamp to compare.
Return Value
NSOrderedAscending if
other
is chronologically following self, NSOrderedDescending ifother
is chronologically preceding self, NSOrderedSame otherwise. -
Represents seconds of UTC time since Unix epoch 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Must be from 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z to 9999-12-31T23:59:59Z inclusive.
Declaration
Objective-C
@property (readonly, assign, nonatomic) int64_t seconds;
-
Non-negative fractions of a second at nanosecond resolution. Negative second values with fractions must still have non-negative nanos values that count forward in time. Must be from 0 to 999,999,999 inclusive.
Declaration
Objective-C
@property (readonly, assign, nonatomic) int32_t nanoseconds;
