Hamcrest Date Build Status Coverage Status

A date matching library for Java Hamcrest

Licensed under BSD License.

What is Hamcrest Date?

Hamcrest Date is an extension library for the Java Hamcrest matcher library which provides Matcher implementations for Java date types including LocalDate, LocalTime, LocalDateTime, ZonedDateTime, and Date.

Downloads

You can obtain Hamcrest Date binaries from maven central. To include in your project:

A maven project

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.exparity</groupId>
    <artifactId>hamcrest-date</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.4</version>
</dependency>

Versions 2.x.x onwards require Java 8. If you are using an earlier version of Java 8 then include version

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.exparity</groupId>
    <artifactId>hamcrest-date</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

Binaries

Hamcrest Date has a single binary, hamcrest-date.jar, which contains all the date matchers. Sources and JavaDoc jars are available.

Usage

The matchers are exposed as static methods on the LocalDateMatchers, LocalTimeMatchers, LocalDateTimeMatchers, ZonedDateTimeMatchers, and DateMatchers class. For example

LocalDate today = LocalDate.now(); myBirthday = LocalDate.of(2015, AUGUST, 9);
MatcherAssert.assertThat(today, LocalDateMatchers.sameDay(myBirthday));

or to test if you're getting closer to your birthday

LocalDate today = LocalDate.now(); myBirthday = LocalDate.of(2015, AUGUST, 9);
MatcherAssert.assertThat(today, LocalDateMatchers.within(1, ChronoUnit.DAY, myBirthday));

or after static importing

LocalDate today = LocalDate.now(); myBirthday = LocalDate.of(2015, AUGUST, 9);
assertThat(today, within(1, DAY, myBirthday));

The same matchers are available for all date types so to match LocalDateTime values:

LocalDateTime myAppointment = LocalDateTime.of(2015, AUGUST, 9, 10, 30, 0);
assertThat(LocalDateTime.now(), within(15, MINUTES, myAppointment));

or to match ZonedDateTime values:

ZonedDateTime myAppointment = ZonedDateTime.of(LocalDateTime.of(2015, AUGUST, 9, 10, 30, 0), ZoneId.of("UTC"));
assertThat(ZonedDateTime.now(), within(15, MINUTES, myAppointment));

or to match LocalTime values:

LocalTime myAppointment = LocalTime.NOON;
assertThat(LocalTime.now(), within(15, MINUTES, myAppointment));

The libary includes date matchers for:

  • after - Test if the actual date is after the reference date
  • before - Test if the actual date is before the reference date
  • within - Test if the actual date is within a given period (before or after) of the reference date
  • sameDay - Test if the actual date is on the same day as the reference date
  • sameHourOfDay - Test if the actual date is on the same hour of the day as the reference date
  • sameInstant - Test if the actual date at the same instance as the reference date
  • sameOrBefore - Test if the actual date is the same or before the reference date
  • sameOrAfter - Test if the actual date is the same or after the reference date
  • sameMinuteOfHour - Test if the actual date is on the same minute of the hour as the reference date
  • sameMonthOfYear - Test if the actual date is on the same month of the year as the reference date
  • sameSecondOfMinute - Test if the actual date is on the same second of the minute as the reference date
  • sameDayOfWeek - Test if the actual date is on the same week day as the reference date
  • sameYear - Test if the actual date is on the same year as the reference date
  • isInstance - Test if the actual date is at the exact instant
  • isSecond - Test if the actual date is on the given second
  • isMinute - Test if the actual date is on the given minute
  • isHour - Test if the actual date is on the given hour
  • isDayOfWeek - Test if the actual date is on the given day of the week
  • isDayOfMonth - Test if the actual date is on the given day of the month
  • isMonth - Test if the actual date is on the given month
  • isYear - Test if the actual date is on the given year
  • isYesterday - Test if the actual date is yesterday
  • isToday - Test if the actual date is today

  • isSaturday - Test if the actual date is on a saturday
  • isSunday - Test if the actual date is on a sunday
  • isWeekday - Test if the actual date is on a weekday
  • isWeekend - Test if the actual date is on a weekend
  • isJanuary - Test if the actual date is in january

Thanks to the developers at Java Hamcrest. Without their hardwork and core libraries there'd be nothing to be extend and we be stuck with old school, non-declarative, non-reusable, assertions.
