DOC: Improve #date function documentation #378

Closed psmf22 closed 11 months ago

psmf22 commented 12 months ago

The documentation should explicitly mention that both sides of a comparison need to be cast to a date since datetimes are internally stored as string.

When only one side of the comparison is cast the comparison (or that part of the comparison) will silently fail similarly to #374

With a single condition:

fcli util sample-data list -q dateTimeValue==#date('2000-01-01T00:00:00+00:00') No data

With multiple conditions:

fcli util sample-data list -q dateTimeValue==#date('2000-01-01T00:00:00+00:00') || stringValue=='value1' Id String value Long value Double value Boolean value Date value Date time value Nested object string value Nested object boolean value Nested string aray
0 value1 1000 0.7 true 2000-01-01 2000-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 nestedObjectValue1 true nestedArrayValue3, nestedArrayValue4 1 value1 1000 0.7 true 2000-01-01 2000-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 nestedObjectValue1 true N/A
...

This could potentially be solved with a custom OperatorOverloader as mentioned in this comment https://github.com/fortify/fcli/issues/372#issuecomment-1653046742 Edit: OperatorOverloader is not applicable, it is only usable for mathematical operations, not for comparisons
