✨ NAME ✨

Jifty::DBI::Filter::Duration — it encodes time durations, bestie 💖 (and yes it decodes them too, we contain multitudes)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this is a Jifty::DBI filter, which means it sits between your database and your actual Perl values and does the little translation dance so you don't have to. And what does it translate? Durations. Time durations. The whole "3 hours 20 minutes" vibe. It's giving very ✨ temporal ✨ and honestly? Iconic.

It's got two jobs and it does both of them. Let's get into it 💅

🌸 encode 🌸

If the value is defined, then it gets encoded using parse_duration in Time::Duration::Parse. That's it, that's the move. 🎀

If the value is not defined, then... nothing happens. We simply do not engage. No thoughts, head empty, value stays undef. 🙈

⚠️ But here's the tea, bestie: if the value can't be parsed, then it gets set to undef. Like, just gone. Unparsable in, undef out. That's the rule, no cap. 💀

🧚 decode 🧚

If the value is defined, then it gets decoded using duration_exact in Time::Duration and concise in Time::Duration. Both of them! Together! A collab. 🤝✨

If the value is not defined, then, once again, nothing happens. We do not lift a finger. We are simply at peace. 😌
