Get first and last day of month using threeten, LocalDate

Question

I have a LocalDate which needs to get the first and last day of the month. How do I do that?

eg. 13/2/2014 I need to get 1/2/2014 and

Answer 1

YearMonth

For completeness, and more elegant in my opinion, see this use of YearMonth class.

YearMonth month = YearMonth.from(date);
LocalDate start = month.atDay(1);
LocalDate end   = month.atEndOfMonth();

For the first & last day of the current month, this becomes:

LocalDate start = YearMonth.now().atDay(1);
LocalDate end   = YearMonth.now().atEndOfMonth();
