NAME

HTML::FormFu::Inflator::DateTime - DateTime inflator

VERSION

version 2.07

SYNOPSIS

    ---
    elements:
      - type: Text
        name: start_date
        inflators:
          - type: DateTime
            parser:
              strptime: '%d-%m-%Y'
            strptime:
              pattern: '%d-%b-%Y'
              locale: de

      - type: Text
        name: end_time
        inflators:
          - type: DateTime
            time_zone: Europe/Rome
            parser:
              regex: '^ (\d{2}) - (\d{2}) - (\d{4}) $'
              params: [day, month, year]
            strptime: '%d-%m-%Y'

An example of using the same parser declaration for both a DateTime constraint and a DateTime inflator, using YAML references:

    ---
    elements:
      - type: Text
        name: date
        constraints:
          - type: DateTime
            parser: &PARSER
              strptime: '%d-%m-%Y'
        inflators:
          - type: DateTime
            parser: *PARSER

DESCRIPTION

Inflate dates into DateTime objects.

For a corresponding deflator, see HTML::FormFu::Deflator::Strftime.

METHODS

parser

Arguments: \%args

Required. Define the expected input string, so DateTime::Format::Builder knows how to inflate it into a DateTime object.

Accepts arguments to be passed to "parser" in DateTime::Format::Builder.

strptime

Arguments: \%args

Arguments: $string

Optional. Define the format that should be used if the DateTime object is stringified.

time_zone

Arguments: $string

Optional. You can pass along a time_zone in which the DateTime will be created. This is useful if the string to parse does not contain time zone information and you want the DateTime to be in a specific zone instead of the floating one (which is likely).

Accepts a hashref of arguments to be passed to "new" in DateTime::Format::Strptime. Alternatively, accepts a single string argument, suitable for passing to "DateTime::Format::Strptime->new( pattern => $string )".
