Java Get First LocalDate of Current Year

Tags: Java LocalDate DateUtil

In this Java tutorial, we learn how to get the first day of current year and return it as a LocalDate object in Java programming language.

How to get first LocalDate of current year in Java

At this first step, we create a new Java method named DateUtil, and implement a new static method named getFirstLocalDateOfCurrentYear() with the following steps to get first day of current year.

  • Step 1: get the value of today as LocalDate using the LocalDate.now() method.
  • Step 2: get the first day of current year based on today value using the LocalDate.withDayOfYear(int dayOfYear) method.

DateUtil.java 

import java.time.LocalDate;

public class DateUtil {

    /**
     * This method to get the first day of current year and return it as a LocalDate object.
     * @return the first LocalDate of current year.
     */
    public static LocalDate getFirstLocalDateOfCurrentYear() {
        LocalDate today = LocalDate.now();
        LocalDate firstDayOfYear = today.withDayOfYear(1);
        return firstDayOfYear;
    }

}

In the following example Java code, we learn how to use the above DateUtil class to get the first day of current year as a LocalDate object in Java program.

GetFirstLocalDateOfCurrentYearExample.java 

import java.time.LocalDate;

public class GetFirstLocalDateOfCurrentYearExample {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        // Get First LocalDate of Current Year
        LocalDate firstDayOfYear = DateUtil.getFirstLocalDateOfCurrentYear();

        System.out.println("Today: " + LocalDate.now());
        System.out.println("First day of current year: " + firstDayOfYear);
    }
}
The output as below. 
Today: 2022-08-20
First day of current year: 2022-01-01

Happy Coding 😊
