From lubridate v1.7.9.2
by Vitalie Spinu
Get/set date component of a date-time
Date-time must be a POSIXct, POSIXlt, Date, chron, yearmon, yearqtr, zoo, zooreg, timeDate, xts, its, ti, jul, timeSeries, and fts objects.
Usage
date(x)date(x) <- value
Arguments
- x
a date-time object
- value
an object for which the
date()function is defined
Details
date() does not yet support years before 0 C.E.
Also date() is not defined for Period objects.
Value
the date of x as a Date
Base compatibility
date() can be called without any arguments to return a string representing
the current date-time. This provides compatiblity with base:date() which
it overrides.
Examples
# NOT RUN {
x <- ymd_hms("2012-03-26 23:12:13", tz = "America/New_York")
date(x)
as.Date(x) # by default as.Date assumes you want to know the date in UTC
as.Date(x, tz = "America/New_York")
date(x) <- as.Date("2000-01-02")
x
# }
