NAME¶
Jifty::DBI::Filter::Date - DateTime object wrapper around date columns
DESCRIPTION¶
This filter allow you to work with DateTime objects that represent
"Dates", store everything in the database in GMT and not hurt
yourself badly when you pull them out and put them in repeatedly.
encode¶
If value is a DateTime object then move it into a "floating" timezone
and expand it into ISO 8601 format "HH-MM-SS". By storing it in the
database as a floating timezone, it doesn't matter if the user's desired
timezone changes between lookups
Does nothing if value is not defined or is a string.
decode¶
If we're loading something from a column that doesn't specify times, then it's
loaded into a floating timezone.
If value is defined then converts it into DateTime object otherwise do nothing.
