A Duration represents a signed, fixed-length span of time represented as a count of seconds and fractions of seconds at nanosecond resolution. It is independent of any calendar and concepts like "day" or "month". It is related to Timestamp in that the difference between two Timestamp values is a Duration and it can be added or subtracted from a Timestamp. Range is approximately +-10,000 years.

Examples

Example 1: Compute Duration from two Timestamps in pseudo code. Timestamp start = ...; Timestamp end = ...; Duration duration = ...; duration.seconds = end.seconds - start.seconds; duration.nanos = end.nanos - start.nanos; if (duration.seconds < 0 && duration.nanos > 0) { duration.seconds += 1; duration.nanos -= 1000000000; } else if (duration.seconds > 0 && duration.nanos < 0) { duration.seconds -= 1; duration.nanos += 1000000000; } Example 2: Compute Timestamp from Timestamp + Duration in pseudo code. Timestamp start = ...; Duration duration = ...; Timestamp end = ...; end.seconds = start.seconds + duration.seconds; end.nanos = start.nanos + duration.nanos; if (end.nanos < 0) { end.seconds -= 1; end.nanos += 1000000000; } else if (end.nanos >= 1000000000) { end.seconds += 1; end.nanos -= 1000000000; } Example 3: Compute Duration from datetime.timedelta in Python. td = datetime.timedelta(days=3, minutes=10) duration = Duration() duration.FromTimedelta(td)

JSON Mapping

In JSON format, the Duration type is encoded as a string rather than an object, where the string ends in the suffix "s" (indicating seconds) and is preceded by the number of seconds, with nanoseconds expressed as fractional seconds. For example, 3 seconds with 0 nanoseconds should be encoded in JSON format as "3s", while 3 seconds and 1 nanosecond should be expressed in JSON format as "3.000000001s", and 3 seconds and 1 microsecond should be expressed in JSON format as "3.000001s".

Methods

Constructor.

  • param array $data { Optional. Data for populating the Message object.
    @type int|string $seconds
          Signed seconds of the span of time. Must be from -315,576,000,000
          to +315,576,000,000 inclusive. Note: these bounds are computed from:

    @type int $nanos
          Signed fractions of a second at nanosecond resolution of the span
          of time. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0
          `seconds` field and a positive or negative `nanos` field. For durations
          of one second or more, a non-zero value for the `nanos` field must be
          of the same sign as the `seconds` field. Must be from -999,999,999
          to +999,999,999 inclusive.

public getNanos()
 

Signed fractions of a second at nanosecond resolution of the span of time. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 seconds field and a positive or negative nanos field. For durations of one second or more, a non-zero value for the nanos field must be of the same sign as the seconds field. Must be from -999,999,999 to +999,999,999 inclusive.

public Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::mergeFrom( $msg)
 

Merges the contents of the specified message into current message.

This method merges the contents of the specified message into the current message. Singular fields that are set in the specified message overwrite the corresponding fields in the current message. Repeated fields are appended. Map fields key-value pairs are overwritten. Singular/Oneof sub-messages are recursively merged. All overwritten sub-messages are deep-copied.

  • param object $msg Protobuf message to be merged from.
  • return null
public Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::mergeFromJsonString( $data, $ignore_unknown = false)
 

Parses a json string to protobuf message.

This function takes a string in the json wire format, matching the encoding output by serializeToJsonString(). See mergeFrom() for merging behavior, if the field is already set in the specified message.

  • param string $data Json protobuf data.
  • param bool $ignore_unknown
  • return null
  • throws \Exception Invalid data.
public Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::mergeFromString( $data)
 

Parses a protocol buffer contained in a string.

This function takes a string in the (non-human-readable) binary wire format, matching the encoding output by serializeToString(). See mergeFrom() for merging behavior, if the field is already set in the specified message.

  • param string $data Binary protobuf data.
  • return null
  • throws \Exception Invalid data.

public Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::serializeToString()
 

Serialize the message to string.

  • return string Serialized binary protobuf data.
public setNanos( $var)
 

Signed fractions of a second at nanosecond resolution of the span of time. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 seconds field and a positive or negative nanos field. For durations of one second or more, a non-zero value for the nanos field must be of the same sign as the seconds field. Must be from -999,999,999 to +999,999,999 inclusive.

Methods
protected Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::hasOneof( $number)
protected Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::mergeFromArray(array $array)
 

Populates the message from a user-supplied PHP array. Array keys correspond to Message properties and nested message properties.

Example:

$message->mergeFromArray([
    'name' => 'This is a message name',
    'interval' => [
         'startTime' => time() - 60,
         'endTime' => time(),
    ]
]);

This method will trigger an error if it is passed data that cannot be converted to the correct type. For example, a StringValue field must receive data that is either a string or a StringValue object.

  • param array $array An array containing message properties and values.
  • return null
protected Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::mergeFromJsonArray( $array, $ignore_unknown)
protected Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::readOneof( $number)
protected Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::readWrapperValue( $member)
protected Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::whichOneof( $oneof_name)
protected Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::writeOneof( $number, $value)
protected Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::writeWrapperValue( $member, $value)
