DateTime Delta

Category: Date / Time

Input / output: string → html

What it does

Calculates a new DateTime value given an input DateTime value and a time difference (delta) from the input DateTime value.

Note

Status here means the operation name is implemented and callable. It does not by itself promise byte-for-byte parity for every upstream option. See Compatibility and current status for the verified scope and known boundaries.

Arguments and options

Arguments are positional. Keep their order when using bake() or Pipeline.then().

Recipe template

Important

This is a call template built from the documented defaults. Replace placeholder values such as empty keys, paths, patterns, or lookup data before running it.

from pychef import bake

input_value = "example"
args = ['DATETIME_FORMATS', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss', 'Add', 0, 0, 0, 0]
result = bake(input_value, [{"op": 'DateTime Delta', "args": args}])
print(result)

Pipeline example

from pychef import Pipeline

args = ['DATETIME_FORMATS', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss', 'Add', 0, 0, 0, 0]
transform = Pipeline().then('DateTime Delta', *args)
result = transform("example")

Dedicated operation module

The registered entry point lives in pychef.operations.by_operation.datetime_delta. Direct calls receive the input value and a positional argument tuple:

from pychef.operations.by_operation.datetime_delta import run

result = run("example", tuple(['DATETIME_FORMATS', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss', 'Add', 0, 0, 0, 0]))
pychef.operations.by_operation.datetime_delta.run(value, args)

Run this operation using its shared internal implementation.

Parameters:

  • value (str | bytes)

  • args (Sequence[Any])

Return type:

str | bytes
