Easy.Tools.DateTimeHelper

Easy.Tools.DateTimeHelper is a lightweight, high-performance .NET library that extends the DateTime struct. It simplifies complex date operations such as age calculation, business day arithmetic, Unix timestamp conversion, and ISO 8601 week calculations.

Features

  • Advanced Age Calculation: Get age in years or detailed (Years, Months, Days).
  • Business Days: Add/Subtract workdays (automatically skips weekends).
  • Time Travel: Easily get Start/End of Day, Week, or Month.
  • ISO 8601 Support: Correctly calculates WeeksInYear (52 or 53 weeks).
  • Unix Integration: Convert to/from Unix Timestamps (Seconds).
  • Time Zones: Convert dates between specific Time Zones easily.
  • Fluent API: Check for IsWeekend, IsLeapYear, IsBetween, etc.

Installation

Install via NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package Easy.Tools.DateTimeHelper

Or via .NET CLI:

dotnet add package Easy.Tools.DateTimeHelper

Usage Example

1. Age Calculation

Calculates age correctly, accounting for leap years.

using Easy.Tools.DateTimeHelper.Extensions;

var birthDate = new DateTime(1990, 5, 20);

// Simple Age
int age = birthDate.CalculateAge(); // Output: 34

// Detailed Age
var (years, months, days) = birthDate.CalculateAgeDetailed();
Console.WriteLine($"You are {years} years, {months} months, and {days} days old.");

2. Business Days (Workdays)

Skip weekends when adding days.

var friday = new DateTime(2023, 10, 6); // Friday

// Add 3 business days (Skips Sat/Sun) -> Target is Wednesday
var nextWednesday = friday.AddBusinessDays(3);

3. Start & End of Periods

Useful for reporting and database queries.

var now = DateTime.Now;

var startOfDay   = now.StartOfDay();   // 2023-10-06 00:00:00
var endOfDay     = now.EndOfDay();     // 2023-10-06 23:59:59.999

var startOfWeek  = now.StartOfWeek();  // Monday of the current week
var endOfWeek    = now.EndOfWeek();    // Sunday of the current week

var startOfMonth = now.StartOfMonth(); // 1st day of month
var endOfMonth   = now.EndOfMonth();   // Last day of month

4. Unix & Time Zones

// Unix Timestamp
long timestamp = DateTime.UtcNow.ToUnixTimestamp();
DateTime myDate = DateTimeExtensions.FromUnixTimestamp(timestamp);

// Time Zone Conversion
var utcDate = DateTime.UtcNow;
var estDate = utcDate.ConvertToTimeZone("Eastern Standard Time");

5. ISO 8601 Weeks

Correctly handles years that have 53 weeks.

var date = new DateTime(2020, 12, 31);
int weeksInYear = date.WeeksInYear(); // Returns 53 for ISO 8601 compliance

6. Helper Predicates

Correctly handles years that have 53 weeks.

if (DateTime.Now.IsWeekend())
{
    Console.WriteLine("It's party time! ");
}

if (myDate.IsBetween(startDate, endDate))
{
    // Do something...
}

var nextFriday = DateTime.Now.NextWeekday(DayOfWeek.Friday);
