=head1 NAME

DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime - Auto-create DateTime objects from date and datetime columns.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Load this component and then declare one or more 
columns to be of the datetime, timestamp or date datatype.

  package Event;
  __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/InflateColumn::DateTime Core/);
  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
    starts_when => { data_type => 'datetime' }
  );

NOTE: You B<must> load C<InflateColumn::DateTime> B<before> C<Core>. See
L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Component> for details.

Then you can treat the specified column as a L<DateTime> object.

  print "This event starts the month of ".
    $event->starts_when->month_name();

If you want to set a specific timezone and locale for that field, use:

  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
    starts_when => { data_type => 'datetime', timezone => "America/Chicago", locale => "de_DE" }
  );

If you want to inflate no matter what data_type your column is,
use inflate_datetime or inflate_date:

  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
    starts_when => { data_type => 'varchar', inflate_datetime => 1 }
  );

  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
    starts_when => { data_type => 'varchar', inflate_date => 1 }
  );

It's also possible to explicitly skip inflation:

  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
    starts_when => { data_type => 'datetime', inflate_datetime => 0 }
  );

NOTE: Don't rely on C<InflateColumn::DateTime> to parse date strings for you.
The column is set directly for any non-references and C<InflateColumn::DateTime>
is completely bypassed.  Instead, use an input parser to create a DateTime
object. For instance, if your user input comes as a 'YYYY-MM-DD' string, you can
use C<DateTime::Format::ISO8601> thusly:

  use DateTime::Format::ISO8601;
  my $dt = DateTime::Format::ISO8601->parse_datetime('YYYY-MM-DD');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module figures out the type of DateTime::Format::* class to 
inflate/deflate with based on the type of DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::* 
that you are using.  If you switch from one database to a different 
one your code should continue to work without modification (though note
that this feature is new as of 0.07, so it may not be perfect yet - bug
reports to the list very much welcome).

For more help with using components, see L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Component/USING>.

=head2 register_column

Chains with the L<DBIx::Class::Row/register_column> method, and sets
up datetime columns appropriately.  This would not normally be
directly called by end users.

In the case of an invalid date, L<DateTime> will throw an exception.  To
bypass these exceptions and just have the inflation return undef, use
the C<datetime_undef_if_invalid> option in the column info:

    "broken_date",
    {
        data_type => "datetime",
        default_value => '0000-00-00',
        is_nullable => 1,
        datetime_undef_if_invalid => 1
    }

=head1 USAGE NOTES

If you have a datetime column with an associated C<timezone>, and subsequently
create/update this column with a DateTime object in the L<DateTime::TimeZone::Floating>
timezone, you will get a warning (as there is a very good chance this will not have the
result you expect). For example:

  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
    starts_when => { data_type => 'datetime', timezone => "America/Chicago" }
  );

  my $event = $schema->resultset('EventTZ')->create({
    starts_at => DateTime->new(year=>2007, month=>12, day=>31, ),
  });

The warning can be avoided in several ways:

=over

=item Fix your broken code

When calling C<set_time_zone> on a Floating DateTime object, the timezone is simply
set to the requested value, and B<no time conversion takes place>. It is always a good idea
to be supply explicit times to the database:

  my $event = $schema->resultset('EventTZ')->create({
    starts_at => DateTime->new(year=>2007, month=>12, day=>31, time_zone => "America/Chicago" ),
  });

=item Suppress the check on per-column basis

  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
    starts_when => { data_type => 'datetime', timezone => "America/Chicago", floating_tz_ok => 1 }
  );

=item Suppress the check globally

Set the environment variable DBIC_FLOATING_TZ_OK to some true value.

=back

Putting extra attributes like timezone, locale or floating_tz_ok into extra => {} has been
B<DEPRECATED> because this gets you into trouble using L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Versioned>.
Instead put it directly into the columns definition like in the examples above. If you still
use the old way you'll see a warning - please fix your code then!
