Adjusters are a key tool for modifying temporal objects. They exist to externalize the process of adjustment, permitting different approaches, as per the strategy design pattern. Examples might be an adjuster that sets the date avoiding weekends, or one that sets the date to the last day of the month.
There are two equivalent ways of using a TemporalAdjuster.
The first is to invoke the method on this interface directly.
The second is to use Temporal#with(TemporalAdjuster):
// these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended temporal = thisAdjuster.adjustInto(temporal); temporal = temporal.with(thisAdjuster);It is recommended to use the second approach,
with(TemporalAdjuster),
as it is a lot clearer to read in code.
The TemporalAdjusters class contains a standard set of adjusters,
available as static methods.
These include:
Implementation Specification
This interface places no restrictions on the mutability of implementations, however immutability is strongly recommended.
TemporalAdjusters
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
| public Temporal | Returns: an object of the same observable type with the adjustment made, not nullthe temporal object to adjust, not null temporal)Adjusts the specified temporal object. |
| adjustInto | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public Temporal adjustInto(Temporal temporal) Adjusts the specified temporal object. This adjusts the specified temporal object using the logic encapsulated in the implementing class. Examples might be an adjuster that sets the date avoiding weekends, or one that sets the date to the last day of the month.

Implementation Specification The implementation must take the input object and adjust it.
The implementation defines the logic of the adjustment and is responsible for
documenting that logic. It may use any method on The input object must not be altered. Instead, an adjusted copy of the original must be returned. This provides equivalent, safe behavior for immutable and mutable temporal objects.
The input temporal object may be in a calendar system other than ISO.
Implementations may choose to document compatibility with other calendar systems,
or reject non-ISO temporal objects by This method may be called from multiple threads in parallel. It must be thread-safe when invoked.
