NAME

       HTML::FormFu::Deflator::Strftime - Strftime deflator

SYNOPSIS

	   $form->deflator( Strftime => 'start_time' )
	       ->strftime( '%d/%m/%Y' );

	   ---
	   elements:
	       - type: Text
		 inflators:
		     - type: DateTime
		       parser:
			   strptime: "%Y/%m/%d"
		 deflator:
		     - type: Strftime
		       strftime: "%Y/%m/%d"

DESCRIPTION

       Strftime deflator for DateTime objects.

       When you redisplay a form to the user following an invalid submission, any fields with DateTime inflators will stringify to something like
       '1970-01-01T00:00:00'. In most cases it makes more sense to use the same format you've asked the user for. This deflator allows you to
       specify a more suitable and user-friendly format.

       This deflator calls DateTime's "strftime" method. Possible values for the format string are documented at
       <http://search.cpan.org/dist/DateTime/lib/DateTime.pm#strftime_Patterns>.

       If you set the form's locale (see "locale" in HTML::FormFu) this is set on the DateTime object. Now you can use %x to get the default date
       or %X for the default time for the object's locale.
