=head1 NAME

HTML::FormFu::Deflator::Strftime - Strftime deflator

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    $form->deflator( Strftime => 'start_time' )
        ->strftime( '%d/%m/%Y' );

    ---
    elements:
        - type: Text
          inflators:
              - type: DateTime
                parser:
                    strptime: "%Y/%m/%d"
          deflator:
              - type: Strftime
                strftime: "%Y/%m/%d"

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Strftime deflator for L<DateTime> objects.

When you redisplay a form to the user following an invalid submission,
any fields with DateTime inflators will stringify to something like
'1970-01-01T00:00:00'. In most cases it makes more sense to use the same
format you've asked the user for. This deflator allows you to specify a
more suitable and user-friendly format.

This deflator calls L<DateTime>'s C<strftime> method. Possible values for
the format string are documented at
L<http://search.cpan.org/dist/DateTime/lib/DateTime.pm#strftime_Patterns>.

If you set the form's locale (see L<HTML::FormFu/locale>) this is set on the DateTime object. Now you can use C<%x> to get the default date or C<%X> for the default time for the object's locale.
