`second`	`Int`	Yes

Example

example

LocalTime { hour: 9 minute: 30 second: 0 }

text.parse(raw, as: LocalTime) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as 24:00:00, 09:30 or 9:30:00.

Good to know

The hour runs from 0 to 23. 24:00:00 is refused, and text needs the seconds, so 09:30 is refused as well.
== tells you whether two are the same, and < and list.sort_by compare and sort them.

In JSON

A string, in a request, a response or json.write:

json

"00:00:00""09:30:00""23:59:59"

Details

Text form, storage, how it is shown, and operations

LocalTime is in the group Time and calendar, and has been in Jadpo since 0.1.0.

Text form

text.from writes one standard text form, the same form text.parse reads back: 00:00:00, 09:30:00 and 23:59:59.

How it is stored

It is stored in one column named for the field, of type time. 09:30:00 is stored as '09:30:00.000000'::time.

How it is shown to people

text.format(value, locale:) shows it to people in their locale. A call also gives format:.

With locale: Locale.en_gb and format: TimeFormat.time_medium:

Value	Shown
`00:00:00`	`00:00:00`
`09:30:00`	`09:30:00`
`23:59:59`	`23:59:59`

Operations

It also takes text.parse, text.from, text.format, json.read, json.write and ==. How every standard type behaves says how they work.
