Data::Fake::Dates - Fake date data generators
version 0.006
use Data::Fake::Dates;
$past = fake_past_epoch()->();
$future = fake_future_epoch()->();
$past = fake_past_datetime()->(); # ISO-8601 UTC
$future = fake_future_datetime()->(); # ISO-8601 UTC
$past = fake_past_datetime("%Y-%m-%d")->();
$future = fake_future_datetime("%Y-%m-%d")->();
This module provides fake data generators for past and future dates and times.
All functions are exported by default.
$generator = fake_past_epoch();
This returns a generator that gives a randomly-selected integer number of seconds between the Unix epoch and the current time.
$generator = fake_future_epoch();
This returns a generator that gives a randomly-selected integer number of seconds between the the current time and a period as far into the future as the Unix epoch is in the past (i.e. about 45 years as of 2015).
$generator = fake_past_datetime();
$generator = fake_past_datetime("%Y-%m-%d");
$generator = fake_past_datetime($strftime_format);
This returns a generator that selects a past datetime like "fake_past_epoch" does but formats it as a string using FreeBSD-style "strftime" formats. (See Time::Piece for details.)
The default format is ISO8601 UTC "Zulu" time ("%Y-%m-%dT%TZ").
$generator = fake_future_datetime();
$generator = fake_future_datetime("%Y-%m-%d");
$generator = fake_future_datetime($strftime_format);
This returns a generator that selects a future datetime like "fake_future_epoch" does but formats it as a string using FreeBSD-style "strftime" formats. (See Time::Piece for details.)
The default format is ISO8601 UTC "Zulu" time ("%Y-%m-%dT%TZ").
