NAME
Catmandu::Fix::datetime_format - Catmandu Fix for converting between datetime formats
SYNOPSIS
datetime_format('timestamp','source_pattern' => '%s','destination_pattern' => '%Y-%m-%d','time_zone' => 'UTC','set_time_zone' => 'Europe/Brussels','delete' => 1,validate => 0,locale => 'en_EN',set_locale => 'nl_NL')
OPTIONS
- source_pattern
-
pattern of the source date string to parse See L<http://search.cpan.org/~drolsky/DateTime-Format-Strptime-1.56/lib/DateTime/Format/Strptime.pm> for documentation Default: '%s' (unix timestamp)
- destination_pattern
-
pattern of the destination date string. This is the way your datetime needs to be formatted. Default: '%FT%T.%NZ' (UTC timestamp)
- time_zone
-
time zone of the source date string. In case the source date string does not contain any time zone information, the parser will use this time_zone to interpret the date. When not set correctly, the resulting date string will be wrong. For a complete list of time zone codes see L<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones>. Default: 'UTC'. Most parsers assume 'local', but this can lead to different results on different systems. 'local' simply means the same time zone as the one configured on your system.
- set_time_zone
-
reset the time zone for the destination string. This is usefull for converting dates between time zones e.g. 'Europe/Brussels' Default: 'UTC'
- locale
-
language code for the source date string. This is only important when your date string contains names of week days or months. For a complete list of locale codes see L<DateTime::Locale::Catalog>. Default: en_EN
- set_locale
-
language code for the destination date string. This is only important when your destination date string contains codes for names of week days or months ('%a','%A','%b','%B' and '%h'). This is usefull for converting dates between languages. For a complete list of locale codes see L<DateTime::Locale::Catalog>. Default: en_EN
- delete
-
Delete the key when the source date string cannot be parsed. When used, the option 'default' is ignored. Default: 0
- default
-
Set the value of the destination string to this value, when parsing fails. Default: undef By default both the options 'delete' and 'default' are not set, which means that the destination date string will not be created.
- validate
-
Validate source date string when parsing. Set this to zero to increase speed. Default: 0
