Track (and return) input granularity
I found this crate while looking for convenient human date(time) parser.
I wanted to use this for filtering in a time range from..to
.
The thing that's crucial for that is deciding the granularity the user is working at.
Say I want to find everything from 2023
, meaning I want everything from 2023.01.01
to 2023.12.31
.
If we assume there is time involved, this becomes much more apparent.
Find everything from jan
-> from 2024.01.01 00:00:00.000
to 2024.01.31 23:59:59.999
Same for jan 1
-> from 2024.01.01 (00:00:00.000)
to 2024.01.01 (23:59:59.999)
With that said, what I'd like to access is the highest unit type used in the date: year, month, day (, hour, minute, second) So that I can appropriately fill in all the fields below that granularity, with minimal or maximum values depending on the boundary it's for.
