Shiras - A small subspecies of Moose found in the western United States.
This is a Moose Role that has four flexible date attributes and some additional date functionality. This role can add some date attributes to your class with built in date handling. It also provides the traditional today, now, and weekend date calculation for a given day.
The flexibility of input for the dates comes from three different DateTime::Format packages using type coersion. The three modules are; DateTime::Format::Flexible , DateTime::Format::Epoch, and DateTime::Format::Excel. The choice between them is managed by DateTimeX::Mashup::Shiras::Types as a type coersion. This means that all input strings are parsed by ::Format::Flexible. All numbers are parsed either by ::Format::Excel or ::Format::Epoch. See the type package for the details and corner cases. Since all the succesful date 'getters' return DateTime objects, all the DateTime methods can be applied directly. ex. $inst->get_today_wkend->ymd( "/" ).
Attributes listed here can be passed to ->new as listed below.
Definition: these are date attributes set to the type 'datetimedate'. See the Type Class for more details.
Default empty
Range Currently input of Time Zones is not supported.
Definition: This holds the definition of the last day of the week
Default 'Friday'
Range This will accept either day names, day abbreviations (no periods), or day integers (1 = Monday, 7 = Sunday )
Methods are used to manipulate both the public and private attributes of this role. All attributes are set as 'ro' so other than ->new( ) these methods are the only way to change or clear attributes. See Moose::Manual::Roles for generic implementation instructions.
Definition: This is the way to change (or set) the various dates.
Accepts: Any $date data that can be coerced by supported ::Format modules.
Returns: the equivalent DateTime object
Definition: This is how you can call various dates and format their output. example $self->get_date_two->ymd( "-" ). For this example the date_two attribute had been previously set. Note: 'today' and 'now' are special attribute cases and do not need to be defined to be retrieved.
Returns: a DateTime object
Definition: This is a way to call the equivalent start and end of the week definded by the given 'week_end' attribute value. All dates listed above including 'today' except 'now' can be substitued for $attributename.
github DateTimeX-Mashup-Shiras/issues
1. Support Timezone input and changes
2. Support custom epoch input and changes
3. Add Log::Shiras debugging in exchange for Smart::Comments
