Creating a dateRange Scala, Joda, Java

Question

I have spent hours trying to make this next piece of code work.

import org.joda.time.{DateTime, Period}


def dateR         


        

Answer 1

I was needing something similar. Here's what I came up with:

import org.joda.time.{Period, DateTime}

class DateRange(val start: DateTime, val end: DateTime, val step: Period, inclusive: Boolean) extends Iterable[DateTime] {
    override def iterator: Iterator[DateTime] = new DateRangeIterator

    class DateRangeIterator extends Iterator[DateTime] {
        var current = start

        override def hasNext: Boolean = current.isBefore(end) || (inclusive && current == end)

        override def next(): DateTime = {
            val returnVal = current
            current = current.withPeriodAdded(step, 1)
            returnVal
        }
    }
}

Example Usage:

val startOfDay: DateTime = new DateTime().withTimeAtStartOfDay()
val endOfDay: DateTime = startOfDay.plusDays(1)
val dateRange = new DateRange(startOfDay, endOfDay, Period.hours(1), false)
for (d <- dateRange) println(d)

Output:
