NAME

DateTimeX::Format - Moose Roles for building next generation DateTime formats

SYNOPSIS

package DateTimeX::Format::Bleh;
use Moose;
with 'DateTimeX::Format';

sub parse_datetime {
	my ( $self, $time, $env, @args ) = @_;
}

sub format_datetime {
	my ( $self, @args ) = @_;
}

my $dtxf = DateTimeX::Format::Bleh->new({
	locale       => $locale
	, time_zone  => $time_zone
	, debug      => 0|1
	, defaults   => 0|1
});

$dtxf->debug(0);
$dtxf->time_zone( $time_zone );
$dtxf->locale( $locale );
$dtxf->defaults(1);

my $dt = $dtxf->parse_datetime( $time, {locale=>$locale_for_call} );

my $env = {
	time_zone  => $time_zone_for_call
	, locale  => $locale_for_call
};
my $dt = $dtxf->parse_datetime( $time, $env, @additional_arguments );
my $dt = $dtxf->parse_datetime( $time, {time_zone=>$time_zone_for_call} )

## if your module requires a pattern, or has variable time-input formats
## see the Moose::Role DateTimeX::Format::CustomPattern
package DateTimeX::Format::Strptime;
use Moose;
with 'DateTimeX::Format::CustomPattern';
with 'DateTimeX::Format';

DESCRIPTION

This Moose::Role provides an environment at instantation which can be overriden in the call to parse_data by supplying a hash of the environment.

All of the DateTime based methods, locale and time_zone, coerce in accordence to what the docs of MooseX::Types::DateTime::ButMaintained say -- the coercions apply to both runtime calls and constructors.

In addition this module provides two other accessors to assist in the development of modules in the DateTimeX::Format namespace, these are debug, and defaults.

OBJECT ENVIRONMENT

All of these slots correspond to your object environment: they can be supplied in the constructor, or through accessors.

  • locale

    Can be overridden in the call to ->parse_datetime.

    See the docs at MooseX::Types::DateTime::ButMaintained for informations about the coercions.

  • time_zone

    Can be overridden in the call to ->parse_datetime.

    See the docs at MooseX::Types::DateTime::ButMaintained for informations about the coercions.

  • debug( 1 | 0* )

    Set to one to get debugging information

  • defaults( 1* | 0 )

    Set to 0 to force data to be sent to the module

HELPER FUNCTIONS

new_datetime( $hashRef )

Takes a hashRef of the name value pairs to hand off to DateTime->new
