FQL v4 will be decommissioned on June 30, 2025. Ensure that you complete your migration from FQL v4 to FQL v10 by that date.

Fauna accounts created after August 21, 2024 must use FQL v10. These accounts will not be able to run FQL v4 queries or access the v4 Dashboard.

Examples

The following query converts the string "2018-06-06" to a date:

client.query(
  q.ToDate('2018-06-06')
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error(
  'Error: [%s] %s: %s',
  err.name,
  err.message,
  err.errors()[0].description,
))
Date("2018-06-06")
result = client.query(
  q.to_date("2018-06-06")
)
print(result)
2018-06-06
result, err := client.Query(
	f.ToDate("2018-06-06"))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}
{0 63663840000 <nil>}
try
{
    Value result = await client.Query(
        ToDate("2018-06-06")
    );
    Console.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"ERROR: {e.Message}");
}
