NAME

DateTime::Schedule::Weekly - Determine scheduled days in range based on weekly recurrence and inclusions/exclusions

SYNOPSIS

use DateTime::Schedule::Weekly;

my $dts = DateTime::Schedule::Weekly->weekdays(exclude => [...list of school holidays...], portion => 0.5);

my $school_days_elapsed = $dts->days_in_range($first_day_of_school, $now)->count;

DESCRIPTION

This subclass of DateTime::Schedule augments its capabilities to support a regular weekly schedule of on/off days.

CONSTRUCTORS

new

Returns a new instance. Permits the following construction parameters, in addition to those supported by DateTime::Schedule:

sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday

Optional. Default true

These seven constructor parameters indicate which days of the week are "scheduled" By default, all are "on", making the behavior identical to DateTime::Schedule's.

include

Optional. Default []

An arrayref of DateTimes. These days are included over and above the normal schedule.

E.g., a school schedule could be regularly M-F, but due to extensive weather-related closures, the school added in one or more saturdays class days. These would be included.

N.B. Exclusions have priority over inclusions, so a date in both lists will be excluded!

weekdays

Identical to calling "new" except that by default saturday and sunday are "off".

weekends

Identical to calling "new" except that by default monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and friday are "off".

METHODS

Implements all methods from DateTime::Schedule

is_day_scheduled($datetime)

Given a DateTime, returns false if date is in the exclusion list. Otherwise returns true if date is in the inclusion list or if date is in a scheduled day of week. Returns false otherwise.
