ml-datetime

MarkLogic library with various date/time related functions

Installation

You can install this library using MLPM with:

• mlpm install ml-datetime --save

Alternatively, you can just grab the sources from github, and add to your source tree.

Deployment

You can deploy it using the deploy command of the same tool. In case you use slush-marklogic-node, you can also use:

• ./ml local deploy packages

And optionally enable that as part of deploy modules in deploy/app_specific.rb.

Either way, it gets installed at /ext/mlpm_modules/ml-datetime/.

In case you skipped MLPM, just use your regular deploy tool to deploy it to MarkLogic.

Usage

Example:

xquery version "1.0-ml";

import module namespace dt = "http://marklogic.com/datetime"
  at "/ext/mlpm_modules/ml-datetime/datetime.xqy";

let $html := xdmp:document-filter(doc($trgr:uri))
let $date := dt:get-html-date($html)
return $date/@content/dt:parse-dateTime(data(.))
