How to increment a date using Arrow?

I'm using the arrow module to handle datetime objects in Python. If I get current time like this:

now = arrow.now()

...how do I increment it by one day?

Solution

  • Update as of 2020-07-28

    Increment the day

    now.shift(days=1)

    Decrement the day

    now.shift(days=-1)

    Original Answer

    DEPRECATED as of 2019-08-09

    https://arrow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/releases.html

    • 0.14.5 (2019-08-09) [CHANGE] Removed deprecated replace shift functionality. Users looking to pass plural properties to the replace function to shift values should use shift instead.
    • 0.9.0 (2016-11-27) [FIX] Separate replace & shift functions

    Increment the day

    now.replace(days=1)

    Decrement the day

    now.replace(days=-1)

    I highly recommend the docs.
