FixedDateTimeFormatter class

A formatter and parser for DateTime in a fixed format String pattern.

For example, calling FixedDateTimeCodec('YYYYMMDDhhmmss').decodeToLocal('19960425050322') has the same result as calling DateTime(1996, 4, 25, 5, 3, 22).

The allowed characters are

• Y for “calendar year”
• M for “calendar month”
• D for “calendar day”
• E for “decade”
• C for “century”
• h for “clock hour”
• m for “clock minute”
• s for “clock second”
• S for “fractional clock second”

Note: Negative years are not supported.

Non-allowed characters in the format pattern are included when decoding a string, in this case YYYY kiwi MM is the same format string as YYYY------MM. When encoding a DateTime, the non-format characters are in the output verbatim.

Note: this class differs from DateFormat from package:intl in that here, the format character count is interpreted literally. For example, using the format string YYY to decode the string 996 would result in the same DateTime as calling DateTime(996), and the same format string used to encode the DateTime(1996) would output only the three digits 996.
