Jifty::Filter::DateTime(3)

NAME
Jifty::Filter::DateTime -- A Jifty::DBI filter to work with
                        Jifty::DateTime objects

SYNOPSIS
   # use it with Jifty::DBI::Filter::Date or J::D::F::DateTime
    column created =>
      type is 'timestamp',
      filters are qw( Jifty::Filter::DateTime Jifty::DBI::Filter::DateTime),
      label is 'Created',
      is immutable;

DESCRIPTION
Jifty::Filter::DateTime promotes DateTime objects to Jifty::DateTime (or your application's DateTime subclass) objects on load. This has the side effect of setting their time zone based on the record's current user's preferred time zone, when available.

This is intended to be combined with "Jifty::DBI::Filter::Date" or "Jifty::DBI::Filter::DateTime", e.g.

    column created =>
      type is 'timestamp',
      filters are qw( Jifty::Filter::DateTime Jifty::DBI::Filter::DateTime),
      label is 'Created',
      is immutable;

  decode
If the value is a DateTime, replace it with a Jifty::DateTime (or your application's subclass) representing the same time, setting the time zone in the process.
