Adama supports four date and time related types:
- date for storing year, month, day
- time for storing hour, minute
- datetime for storing year, month, day, hour, minute, second, ms
- timespan for storing a duration
| Type | Syntax | Example | Notes |
|---|
| time | @time $hr:$min | @time 4:20 | Use military time for PM |
| date | @date $year/$mo/$day | @date 2023/10/31 | Must be valid |
| timespan | @timespan $count $unit | @timespan 30 min | units are sec, min, hr, day, week |
| datetime | @datetime "$iso8601" | @datetime "2023-04-24T17:57:19.802528800-05:00[America/Chicago]" | ZonedDateTime.parse |
