NAME

DateTimeX::TO_JSON - Adds a TO_JSON method to DateTime

VERSION

version 0.0.1

SYNOPSIS

use DateTime;
use JSON;
use DateTimeX::TO_JSON formatter => 'DateTime::Format::RFC3339';

my $dt = DateTime->now;
my $out = JSON->new->convert_blessed(1)->encode([$dt]);

DESCRIPTION

Adds a TO_JSON method to DateTime so that JSON and other JSON serializers can serialize it when it encounters it a data structure.

Can be given an optional DateTime formatter on import such as DateTime::Format::RFC3339. Any formatter that supports new and format_datetime will work. Defaults to turning DateTime into a string by calling "datetime" in DateTime

If you want to format the date in your own way, then just define the following function in your code instead of using this module:

sub DateTime::TO_JSON {
    my $dt = shift;
    # do something with $dt, such as:
    return $dt->ymd;
}
