HTML::...teTime(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

HTML::FormFu::Constraint::DateTime — the DateTime constraint, bestie 💖

It's literally a constraint that makes sure your input can later be inflated into a DateTime object. Periodt.

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.07 — yes she's got a version, she's official 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here's the whole vibe, look at this:

---
elements:
  - type: Text
    name: start_date
    constraints:
      - type: DateTime
        parser:
          strptime: '%d-%m-%Y'

  - type: Text
    name: end_time
    constraints:
      - type: DateTime
        parser:
          regex: !!perl/regexp '^(\d{2}) - (\d{2}) - (\d{4})$'
          params: [day, month, year]

and here's the slay-est trick ever: using the same parser declaration for both a DateTime constraint and a DateTime inflator, with YAML references 🧚✨

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

not the &PARSER and *PARSER doing a little anchor-and-alias duet 🫶 iconic behaviour, honestly

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Her whole job? Make sure the input can later be inflated to a DateTime object. That's it. That's the gig. No cap. 👑

---

🔥 METHODS 🔥

🌈 parser

Arguments: \%args

Required. Like, you have to give her this, she will not guess 🙈

Define the expected input string, so that DateTime::Format::Builder knows how to turn it into a DateTime object. 🦋

It accepts arguments to be passed to "parser" in DateTime::Format::Builder. So whatever that one takes, she takes. iykyk 💅
