Hors

Overview

A simple Dart package to extract date and time from natural speech. Currently works only with russian language.

Usage

To use this package you need to create a Hors object with list of TokenParser and list of Recognizer. Out of the box there is rich collection of both types, see Recognizer.all and TokenParsers.all.

Base example looks like this:

import 'package:hors/hors.dart';

final hors = Hors(
  recognizers: Recognizer.all,
  tokenParsers: TokenParsers.all,
);

final result = hors.parse('Завтра состоится событие в 11 часов вечера');

parse method also has optional arguments:

• DateTime fromDatetime – the date relative to which the intervals are to be measured.
• int closestSteps – the maximum number of words between two dates at which will try to combine these dates into one, if possible.

Limitations

• Some recognizers is relate with each-other, so you should know in which order they used or you can get unpredictable results.

Examples

> Завтра состоится событие в 11 часов
	Text: Состоится событие
	DateTimeToken, fixed:
	2023-04-24 11:00:00.000

> Через 2 дня в 15 часов 30 минут к врачу
	Text: К врачу
	DateTimeToken, spanForward:
	Date:	2023-04-25 15:30:00.000
	Span:	63:30:00.000000

> Отправимся на рыбалку с 25 до 28 числа
	Text: Отправимся на рыбалку
	DateTimeToken, period:
	From:	2023-04-25 00:00:00.000
	To:		2023-04-28 00:00:00.000

Original library is created by DenisNP with C#.

This is a port of library to the Dart language.

For now this library is backward compatible with the original one. But this implementation written a little bit different.

For some info how this library works you can read this article (ru).
