Rose::...::Date(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Date page — manual section 3pm, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew — and it is literally the Date column metadata class. It’s giving “I keep date-column metadata and I know it” 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, here’s the exact starter pack, no cap:

use Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Date;

$col = Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Date->new(...);
$col->make_methods(...);
...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Instances of this class are the little record-keepers for date-column metadata in a database. Column metadata objects store info about columns (data type, size, etc.) and they’re responsible for creating the object methods that manipulate column values.

This class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column. Inherited methods that are not overridden will not be documented a second time here, so peep the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column documentation for more information 🫶.

🗺️ METHOD MAP 🗺️

Here’s how the method map shakes out, fr fr:

• "get_set" — Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Date, date, "interface => 'get_set', ..."
• "get" — Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Date, date, "interface => 'get', ..."
• "set" — Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Date, date, "interface => 'set', ..."

See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column documentation for an explanation of this method map.

🛠️ OBJECT METHODS 🛠️

• parse_value DB, VALUE — converts VALUE to the equivalent DateTime object. VALUE may be returned unmodified if it’s a valid date keyword or otherwise has special meaning to the underlying database. DB is a Rose::DB object that is used as part of the parsing process. Both arguments are required. 🚨
• time_zone [TZ] — get or set the time zone of the dates stored in this column. TZ should be a time zone name that is understood by DateTime::TimeZone 🌈.
• type — returns date.
