# Date Extractor Python Package

This project provides a Python utility package to extract specific components (year, month, day, and time) from ISO 8601 date strings. The input can either be in a string format or a pandas series. These functions can be applied individually or integrated with data analysis workflows in Pandas, simplifying date manipulation and analysis.

## Setup Instructions 

### 1. **Use Conda Environment**

Make sure you have conda installed. If you don't have it, install it from [here](https://conda-forge.org/miniforge/).

If needed, set up conda:
```bash
bash ${HOME}/Downloads/Miniforge3.sh -b -p "${HOME}/miniforge3"
source "${HOME}/miniforge3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
conda activate
conda init
```

Create and activate the conda environment:

```bash
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate date_extractor_env
```

### 2. **Install Poetry**

**Poetry** is the tool used to manage dependencies. You need to install Poetry globally.

Run the following command to install Poetry:
```bash
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

```
### 3. Set Up the Project

Clone the repository:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/date_extractor_mds.git
cd date_extractor_mds
```

## Running Tests

### 1. Run Poetry Install


In the root of the folder, run in terminal to install dependencies:
```bash
poetry install
```

### 2. Run Tests

1. Install Dependencies

Run the follow commands sequentially to check that the tests pass, and to check test coverage:

```bash
poetry run pytest
poetry run pytest --cov=src/date_extractor_mds
poetry run pytest --cov-branch --cov=src/date_extractor_mds
```

## Package Installation

To install the package, use the following command:

```bash
$ pip install date_extractor_mds
```
## Usage
- **extract_year:**
    Extracts the year as a four-digit integer from an ISO 8601 date string.
    ```python
    from date_extractor_mds import extract_year
    date_string = "2025-02-02T14:30:00"
    year = extract_year(date_string)
    print(year)  # Output: 2025
    ```
- **extract_month:**
    Retrieves the month as an integer (1-12) from the ISO 8601 date.
    ```python
    from date_extractor_mds import extract_month
    date_string = "2025-02-02T14:30:00"
    month = extract_month(date_string)
    print(month)  # Output: 2
    ```
- **extract_day:**
    Captures the day as an integer (1-31) from the ISO 8601 date.
    ```python
    from date_extractor_mds import extract_day
    date_string = "2025-02-02T14:30:00"
    day = extract_day(date_string)
    print(day)  # Output: 2
    ```
- **extract_time:**
    Returns the time component as a string in hh:mm:ss format.
    ```python
    from date_extractor_mds import extract_time
    date_string = "2025-02-02T14:30:00"
    time = extract_time(date_string)
    print(time)  # Output: 14:30:00


## Position in Python Ecosystem:

This package complements existing Python libraries like datetime and pandas by offering specialized, lightweight utilities focused solely on ISO 8601 string manipulation. While datetime provides similar functionality, this package simplifies usage by bypassing full date parsing for basic extraction tasks, increasing performance in large-scale data analysis.
