I have been extensively working with dates recently and found the need to create a function between?/3. This function takes first_date, second_date, and target_date as inputs and returns a boolean indicating whether target_date is between first_date and second_date, inclusive of the boundaries if specified.
While the Timex library offers this functionality, the recently added Calendar module in Elixir already provides most of the features I need, except for this specific function. I believe it would be beneficial to include this functionality in the Calendar module. Proposal *Function:* Calendar.between?/3 *Description:* This function checks if target_date falls between first_date and second_date. By default, the boundaries are exclusive. An optional keyword list allows the inclusion of boundaries. *Example Usage:* *```elixir* Calendar.between?(datetime_1, datetime_2, datetime_3) *```* Returns true if datetime_3 is between datetime_1 and datetime_2, exclusive of datetime_1 and datetime_2. ```elixir Calendar.between?(datetime_1, datetime_2, datetime_3, inclusive: true) ``` Of course, there are other factors to consider, but setting aside the implementation details, what is the feasibility of adding this function? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elixir-lang-core" group.
