Create an Interval object from a date range

Source: R/intervals.R
as_interval.Rd

Interval objects represent a range of time and can be created using %--% from the lubridate package. as_interval() makes this 'pipe friendly', allowing you to create an Interval object from a vector of 2 dates, datetimes, or characters (formatted as "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" UTC time or "now" for the current time).

Usage

as_interval(date_range = NULL, start = NULL, end = NULL)

Arguments

date_range

(Optional - required if start and end are not provided). A vector of 2 dates, datetimes, or characters (formatted as "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" UTC time or "now" for the current time) representing the start and end time period. NA values will be replaced with 1970-01-01 or "now" for the first and second values, respectively.

start

(Optional - required if date_range is not provided). A date, datetime, or character (formatted as "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" UTC time or "now" for the current time) representing the start of the date range.

end

(Optional - required if date_range is not provided). A date, datetime, or character (formatted as "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" UTC time or "now" for the current time) representing the end of the date range.

Value

An Interval object representing the date range.
