MarcoPolo - Date

This struct is defines date objects in your Elixir application. It renders as a java.util.Date class in OrientDB.

Working with Dates

%MarcoPolo.Date{
    :year <year>,
    :month <month>,
    :day <day>}

• <year> Defines the year in the date, a non-negative integer. Defaults to 0.
• <month> Defines the month in the date, a non-negative integer between 1 and 12. Defaults to 1.
• <day> Defines the day in the date, a non-negative integer between 1 and 31. Defaults to 1.

Example

For instance, imagine you have an application that logs quarterly reports in OrientDB. You might create a function to automatically generate fixed date objects for each quarter of the fiscal year, which in the United States runs from October 1 to September 30.

@doc """ Generate Date for Fiscal Quarter """
def gen_date_quarter(quart, year) do

    # Determine Month of Fiscal Quarter
    case quart do
        1 -> month = 10
        2 -> month = 1
        3 -> month = 4
        4 -> month = 7
    end

    # Generate and Return Date
    %MarcoPolo.Date{
        :year year,
        :month month,
        :day 1}
end
