NAME

OP::DateTime - Overloaded Time object class

SYNOPSIS

use OP::DateTime;

From Epoch:

my $time = OP::DateTime->new( time() );

From YYYY MM DD hh mm ss:

my $time = OP::DateTime->newFrom(1999,12,31,23,59,59);

DESCRIPTION

Time object.

Extends OP::Object, Time::Piece. Overloaded for numeric comparisons, stringifies as unix epoch seconds unless overridden.

PUBLIC CLASS METHODS

• assert(OP::Class $class: *@rules)

  Returns a new OP::Type::DateTime instance which encapsulates the received OP::Subtype rules.

  By default, a column type of DOUBLE(15,4) is used, because MySQL's DATETIME type does not support sub-second resolution. This may be overridden as needed.

  To use DATETIME as the column type, specify it as the value to the columnType subtype arg. When using a DATETIME column, OP will automatically ask MySQL to handle any necessary conversion.

  create "OP::Example" => {
    someTimestamp  => OP::DateTime->assert(
      subtype(
        optional   => true,
        columnType => "DATETIME",
      )
    ),
  
    # ...
  };

• new(OP::Class $class: Num $epoch)

  Returns a new OP::DateTime instance which encapsulates the received value.

  my $object = OP::DateTime->new($epoch);
