DESCRIPTION¶
Strftime deflator for DateTime objects.
When you redisplay a form to the user following an invalid submission, any
fields with DateTime inflators will stringify to something like
'1970-01-01T00:00:00'. In most cases it makes more sense to use the same
format you've asked the user for. This deflator allows you to specify a more
suitable and user-friendly format.
This deflator calls DateTime's "strftime" method. Possible values for
the format string are documented at
<
http://search.cpan.org/dist/DateTime/lib/DateTime.pm#strftime_Patterns>.
If you set the form's locale (see "locale" in HTML::FormFu) this is
set on the DateTime object. Now you can use %x to get the default date or %X
for the default time for the object's locale.
