MooseX::Types::DateTimUser)Contributed Perl DocumenMooseX::Types::DateTimeX(3)NAMEMooseX::Types::DateTimeX - Extensions to
MooseX::Types::DateTime::ButMaintained
SYNOPSIS
package MyApp::MyClass;
use MooseX::Types::DateTimeX qw( DateTime );
has created => (
isa => DateTime,
is => "rw",
coerce => 1,
);
my $instance = MyApp::MyClass->new(created=>'January 1, 1980');
print $instance->created->year; # is 1980
## Coercions from the base type continue to work as normal.
my $instance = MyApp::MyClass->new(created=>{year=>2000,month=>1,day=>10});
Please see the test case for more example usage.
DESCRIPTION
This module builds on MooseX::Types::DateTime to add additional custom
types and coercions. Since it builds on an existing type, all
coercions and constraints are inherited.
The package name is left as is for legacy reasons: this module is
really a Type with coercions for DateTimeX::Easy. DateTimeX is just a
namespace for non-core or less-official DateTime modules.
SUBTYPES
This module defines the following additional subtypes.
DateTime
Subtype of 'DateTime'. Adds an additional coercion from strings.
Uses DateTimeX::Easy to try and convert strings, like "yesterday" into
a valid DateTime object. Please note that due to ambiguity with how
different systems might localize their timezone, string parsing may not
always return the most expected value. IN general we try to localize
to UTC whenever possible. Feedback welcomed!
Duration
Subtype of 'DateTime::Duration' that coerces from a string. We use the
module Time::Duration::Parse to attempt this.
CAVEATS
Firstly, this module uses DateTimeX::Easy which is way to more DWIM
than any sane person would desire. DateTimeX::Easy works by falling
back until something makes sense, this is variable. Furthermore, all
the modules that DateTimeX::Easy *can* use aren't required for "proper"
function of DateTimeX::Easy. What does this mean? Simple, your mileage
may vary in your coercions because DateTimeX::Easy is installation
specific.
