HTML::...teTime(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime — it's giving dates. And datetimes. That's the whole vibe, bestie. 🗓️✨

(Also hi, you're reading a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, manual section 3pm, and the module lives under HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime. Slay.)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Like, the tiniest little taste of what this thing does:

my $duration = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime->now;
print "$duration\n";

Okay so you literally just asked it for now and it gave you a whole datetime back. Main character behaviour fr fr. 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This class inherits from DateTime, so every single method DateTime has? Yeah. It's got 'em. All of them. No cap. 🫶

🎀 Constructors 🎀

So because it inherits from DateTime, the standard DateTime constructors — new, now, etc. — should just work. The way that inheritance ate. 💅

And then there's this extra one:

• $dt = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime->parse($string, $elem, $context, [$tz], [$base]) — Creates a new HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime object. ✨
  • $tz is the timezone to use, but only if it can't be figured out otherwise. Like, it's the backup plan timezone. 🕐
  • $base is a base datetime to use for relative datetimes, whatever that means. (Not me being honest about the docs. 🙈)

🦋 Public Methods 🦋

• $d->to_string — Returns a literal string. That's it. That's the method. 💖
• $d->datatype — Returns an the RDF datatype URI representing the data type of this literal. Yes, "an the" — we don't fix the original's grammar, we respect it. Iconic. 🌈
