NAME

       MooseX::Types::DateTime::MoreCoercions - Extensions to MooseX::Types::DateTime

SYNOPSIS

           package MyApp::MyClass;

           use MooseX::Types::DateTime::MoreCoercions qw( DateTime );

           has created => (
               isa => DateTime,
               is => "rw",
               coerce => 1,
           );

           my $instance = MyApp::MyClass->new(created=>'January 1, 1980');
           print $instance->created->year; # is 1980

           ## Coercions from the base type continue to work as normal.
           my $instance = MyApp::MyClass->new(created=>{year=>2000,month=>1,day=>10});

       Please see the test case for more example usage.

DESCRIPTION

       This module builds on MooseX::Types::DateTime to add additional custom types and coercions.  Since it
       builds on an existing type, all coercions and constraints are inherited.

SUBTYPES

       This module defines the following additional subtypes.

   DateTime
       Subtype of "DateTime" in MooseX::Types::DateTime.  Adds an additional coercion from strings.

       Uses DateTimeX::Easy to try and convert strings, like "yesterday" into a valid DateTime object.  Please
       note that due to ambiguity with how different systems might localize their timezone, string parsing may
       not always return the most expected value.  IN general we try to localize to UTC whenever possible.
       Feedback welcomed!

   Duration
       Subtype of "Duration" in MooseX::Types::DateTime that coerces from a string.  We use the module
       Time::Duration::Parse to attempt this.

CAVEATS

       Firstly, this module uses DateTimeX::Easy which is way more DWIM than any sane person would desire.
       DateTimeX::Easy works by falling back until something makes sense, this is variable. Furthermore, all the
       modules that DateTimeX::Easy *can* use aren't required for "proper" function of DateTimeX::Easy. What
       does this mean? Simple, your mileage may vary in your coercions because DateTimeX::Easy is installation
       specific.
