Description

The Date function constructs a Date from an ISO 8601 formatted date string.

Date only accepts a date string. An error occurs if you include any time information.

ISO 8601 dates

Date uses Java’s Date/Time API which understands a subset of the ISO 8601 standard. Not all date strings that are ISO 8601-compliant can be parsed.

The template for dates is yyyy-MM-dd, where:

  • yyyy represents the year

  • MM represents the month, from 00 to 12

  • dd represents the day, from 00 to 31

Parameters

Argument Type Definition and Requirements

str

String

An ISO 8601 formatted date string.

Returns

A Date type which represents the converted string.

Examples

The following query returns a Date constructed from the provided string:

try
{
    Value result = await client.Query(
        Date("1970-01-01")
    );
    Console.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"ERROR: {e.Message}");
}
FaunaDate(1970-01-01 12:00:00 AM)
result, err := client.Query(
	f.Date("1970-01-01"))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}
{0 62135596800 <nil>}
System.out.println(
    client.query(
        Date(Value("1970-01-01"))
    ).get());
1970-01-01
client.query(
  q.Date('1970-01-01')
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error('Error: %s', err))
Date("1970-01-01")
result = client.query(
  q.date("1970-01-01")
)
print(result)
1970-01-01
try {
  println(Await.result(
    client.query(Date("1970-01-01")),
    5.seconds
  ))
} catch {
  case unknown: Throwable => println("Error: " + unknown.getMessage())
}
1970-01-01
Date('1970-01-01')
Date("1970-01-01")
