MarcoPolo - DateTime

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

Working with DateTimes

%MarcoPolo.DateTime{
   :year <year>,
   :month <month>,
   :day <day>,
   :hour <hour>,
   :min <minute>,
   :sec <sec>,
   :msec <msec>}

• <year> Defines the year in the date, a non-negative integer. Defaults to 0.w
• <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.
• <hour> Defines the hour in the time, a non-negative integer between 0 and 23. Defaults to 0.
• <minute> Defines the minute of the time, a non-negative integer between 0 and 59. Defaults to 0.
• <sec> Defines the second of the time, a non-negative integer between 0 and 59. Defaults to 0.
• <msec> Defines the microseconds of the time, a non-negative integer between 0 and 999. Defaults to 0.

Example

Imagine a case where you run a particular operation at set times each day. Rather than defining DateTime objects every time you need to timestamp this operation, you might want a function to set the relevant data for you:

@doc """ Generate Date for Fiscal Quarter """
def gen_datetime(year, month, day, count) do

    # Determine Month of Fiscal Quarter
    case count do
        1 -> hour = 6
        2 -> hour = 12
        3 -> hour = 18
        4 -> hour = 0
    end

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