237 =head1 C4::Dates.pm - a more object-oriented replacement for Date.pm.
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).
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.
252 =head2 ->new([string_date,][date_format])
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.
257 Examples:
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");
263 =head2 ->output([date_format])
265 The date value is stored independent of any specific format. Therefore any format can be
266 invoked when displaying it.
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"
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.
277 =head2 ->format([date_format])
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.
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:
287 sub is_iso {
288 my $self = shift;
289 return ($self->format() eq "iso");
292 Note: A similar function would need to be included for each format.
294 Instead a dependent script can retrieve the format of the object directly and decide what to
295 do with it from there:
297 my $date = C4::Dates->new();
298 my $format = $date->format();
299 ($format eq "iso") or do_something($date);
301 Or if you just want to print a given value and format, no problem:
303 my $date = C4::Dates->new("1989-09-21", "iso");
304 print $date->output;
306 Alternatively:
308 print C4::Dates->new("1989-09-21", "iso")->output;
310 Or even:
312 print C4::Dates->new("21-09-1989", "metric")->output("iso");
314 =head2 "syspref" -- System Preference(s)
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".
320 For example, to print an ISO date (from the database) in the <systempreference> format:
322 my $date = C4::Dates->new($date_from_database,"iso");
323 my $datestring_for_display = $date->output("syspref");
324 print $datestring_for_display;
326 Or even:
328 print C4::Dates->new($date_from_database,"iso")->output("syspref");
330 If you just want to know what the <systempreferece> is, a default Dates object can tell you:
332 C4::Dates->new()->format();
334 =head2 ->DHMTLcalendar([date_format])
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.
339 C4::Dates->DHTMLcalendar(); # e.g., returns "%m/%d/%Y" for 'us' system preference
341 =head3 Error Handling
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).
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:
349 my $date = C4::Dates->new($input) or deal_with_it("$input didn't work");
351 To validate before creating a new object, use the regexp method of the class:
353 $input =~ C4::Dates->regexp("iso") or deal_with_it("input ($input) invalid as iso format");
354 my $date = C4::Dates->new($input,"iso");
356 More verbose debugging messages are sent in the presence of non-zero $ENV{"DEBUG"}.
358 Notes: if the date in the db is null or empty, interpret null expiration to mean "never expires".
360 =head3 _prefformat()
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.
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.
371 =head3 TO DO
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.
