java.time equivalent of Joda-Time `withTimeAtStartOfDay`? (get first moment of the day)

Question

In the Joda-Time library, the DateTime class offers a method withTimeAtStartOfDay to get the first moment of the day. You might think of that moment as \"midnight\". That first

Answer 1

You can use LocalDate to do this:

// or a similar factory method to get the date you want
LocalDateTime startOfDay = LocalDate.now().atStartOfDay();

Combines this date with the time of midnight to create a LocalDateTime at the start of this date. This returns a LocalDateTime formed from this date at the time of midnight, 00:00, at the start of this date.
