Provide a way to serialize DateTime using millis or micros #153

Open robertcoltheart opened 3 months ago

robertcoltheart commented 3 months ago

Describe the solution you'd like We have a need to serialize DateTime values as a millis logical type, not micros, which is the default. There isn't a way to select a different logical type that I can see.

Describe implementation idea Perhaps a LogicalTypeAttribute with a way to select a specific logical type for a property would be the way to go? I'm not sure what other mechanism could solve this, though you may perhaps have some ideas.

Hey, Maybe it would make sense to create a fully flexible AvroTypeAttribute. I will check out the options. Best, Adrian

Hello @robertcoltheart

Thank you for your contribution. The new feature is available from v.3.4.7 of AvroConvert. Example usage:

    public class TypeAttributeClass
    {
        [AvroType(AvroTypeRepresentation.Double)]
        public int Int;

        [AvroType(AvroTypeRepresentation.TimestampMilliseconds)]
        public DateTime DateTime;
    }

Regards, Adrian
