HTML::FormFu::Deflator::Strftime(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		     HTML::FormFu::Deflator::Strftime(3pm)

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. AUTHOR
