For integers the default is to treat them as a unix timestamp. If a format to cerate from is given, this will be
used instead.
If source is a string it is expected to be formatted according to DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT. This default date format
can be overridden in the initialize*Action() method like this::
$this->arguments['']
->getPropertyMappingConfiguration()
->forProperty('') // this line can be skipped in order to specify the format for all properties
->setTypeConverterOption(\Neos\Flow\Property\TypeConverter\DateTimeConverter::class, \Neos\Flow\Property\TypeConverter\DateTimeConverter::CONFIGURATION_DATE_FORMAT, '');
If the source is of type array, it is possible to override the format in the source::
array(
'date' => '',
'dateFormat' => ''
);
By using an array as source you can also override time and timezone of the created DateTime object::
array(
'date' => '',
'hour' => '', // integer
'minute' => '', // integer
'seconds' => '', // integer
'timezone' => '', // string, see http://www.php.net/manual/timezones.php
);
As an alternative to providing the date as string, you might supply day, month and year as array items each::
array(
'day' => '', // integer
'month' => '', // integer
'year' => '', // integer
);
