Custom parser for controller parameters #59

Open kevinresol opened 8 years ago

kevinresol commented 8 years ago

Currently the controller supports Bool, Int,Float,String,Date and their arrays as route parameters. They are parsed from html string to haxe values internally in ControllerMacros. It would be nice if users can provide their own parsers.

For example, currently ControllerMacros uses Date.fromString to parse a date. But if custom parsers are allowed I can parse, for example, "now" as Date.now()
