 237 =head1 C4::Dates.pm - a more object-oriented replacement for Date.pm.
 238
 239 The core problem to address is the multiplicity of formats used by different Koha
 240 installations around the world.  We needed to move away from any hard-coded values at
 241 the script level, for example in initial form values or checks for min/max date. The
 242 reason is clear when you consider string '07/01/2004'.  Depending on the format, it
 243 represents July 1st (us), or January 7th (metric), or an invalid value (iso).
 244
 245 The formats supported by Koha are:
 246     iso - ISO 8601 (extended)
 247     us - U.S. standard
 248     metric - European standard (slight misnomer, not really decimalized metric)
 249     sql - log format, not really for human consumption
 250     rfc822 - Standard for using with RSS feeds, etc.
 251
 252 =head2 ->new([string_date,][date_format])
 253
 254 Arguments to new() are optional.  If string_date is not supplied, the present system date is
 255 used.  If date_format is not supplied, the system preference from C4::Context is used.
 256
 257 Examples:
 258
 259         my $now   = C4::Dates->new();
 260         my $date1 = C4::Dates->new("09-21-1989","us");
 261         my $date2 = C4::Dates->new("19890921    143907","sql");
 262
 263 =head2 ->output([date_format])
 264
 265 The date value is stored independent of any specific format.  Therefore any format can be
 266 invoked when displaying it.
 267
 268         my $date = C4::Dates->new();    # say today is July 12th, 2010
 269         print $date->output("iso");     # prints "2010-07-12"
 270         print "\n";
 271         print $date->output("metric");  # prints "12-07-2010"
 272
 273 However, it is still necessary to know the format of any incoming date value (e.g.,
 274 setting the value of an object with new()).  Like new(), output() assumes the system preference
 275 date format unless otherwise instructed.
 276
 277 =head2 ->format([date_format])
 278
 279 With no argument, format returns the object's current date_format.  Otherwise it attempts to
 280 set the object format to the supplied value.
 281
 282 Some previously desirable functions are now unnecessary.  For example, you might want a
 283 method/function to tell you whether or not a Dates.pm object is of the 'iso' type.  But you
 284 can see by this example that such a test is trivial to accomplish, and not necessary to
 285 include in the module:
 286
 287         sub is_iso {
 288             my $self = shift;
 289             return ($self->format() eq "iso");
 290         }
 291
 292 Note: A similar function would need to be included for each format.
 293
 294 Instead a dependent script can retrieve the format of the object directly and decide what to
 295 do with it from there:
 296
 297         my $date = C4::Dates->new();
 298         my $format = $date->format();
 299         ($format eq "iso") or do_something($date);
 300
 301 Or if you just want to print a given value and format, no problem:
 302
 303         my $date = C4::Dates->new("1989-09-21", "iso");
 304         print $date->output;
 305
 306 Alternatively:
 307
 308         print C4::Dates->new("1989-09-21", "iso")->output;
 309
 310 Or even:
 311
 312         print C4::Dates->new("21-09-1989", "metric")->output("iso");
 313
 314 =head2 "syspref" -- System Preference(s)
 315
 316 Perhaps you want to force data obtained in a known format to display according to the user's system
 317 preference, without necessarily knowing what that preference is.  For this purpose, you can use the
 318 pseudo-format argument "syspref".
 319
 320 For example, to print an ISO date (from the database) in the <systempreference> format:
 321
 322         my $date = C4::Dates->new($date_from_database,"iso");
 323         my $datestring_for_display = $date->output("syspref");
 324         print $datestring_for_display;
 325
 326 Or even:
 327
 328         print C4::Dates->new($date_from_database,"iso")->output("syspref");
 329
 330 If you just want to know what the <systempreferece> is, a default Dates object can tell you:
 331
 332         C4::Dates->new()->format();
 333
 334 =head2 ->DHMTLcalendar([date_format])
 335
 336 Returns the format string for DHTML Calendar Display based on date_format.
 337 If date_format is not supplied, the return is based on system preference.
 338
 339         C4::Dates->DHTMLcalendar(); #  e.g., returns "%m/%d/%Y" for 'us' system preference
 340
 341 =head3 Error Handling
 342
 343 Some error handling is provided in this module, but not all.  Requesting an unknown format is a
 344 fatal error (because it is programmer error, not user error, typically).
 345
 346 Scripts must still perform validation of user input.  Attempting to set an invalid value will
 347 return 0 or undefined, so a script might check as follows:
 348
 349         my $date = C4::Dates->new($input) or deal_with_it("$input didn't work");
 350
 351 To validate before creating a new object, use the regexp method of the class:
 352
 353         $input =~ C4::Dates->regexp("iso") or deal_with_it("input ($input) invalid as iso format");
 354         my $date = C4::Dates->new($input,"iso");
 355
 356 More verbose debugging messages are sent in the presence of non-zero $ENV{"DEBUG"}.
 357
 358 Notes: if the date in the db is null or empty, interpret null expiration to mean "never expires".
 359
 360 =head3 _prefformat()
 361
 362 This internal function is used to read the preferred date format
 363 from the system preference table.  It reads the preference once,
 364 then caches it.
 365
 366 This replaces using the package variable $prefformat directly, and
 367 specifically, doing a call to C4::Context->preference() during
 368 module initialization.  That way, C4::Dates no longer has a
 369 compile-time dependency on having a valid $dbh.
 370
 371 =head3 TO DO
 372
 373 If the date format is not in <systempreference>, we should send an error back to the user.
 374 This kind of check should be centralized somewhere.  Probably not here, though.
