Usage

The autocast plugin will listen for the commit:created event and cast numbers, booleans, and dates to the appropriate Blueprint type. Note that the recordHook and bulkRecordHook plugins listen for the same event type. Plugins will fire in the order they are placed in the listener.

Numbers

String numbers (i.e '1'), string decimals (i.e '1.1'), and string numbers with commas (i.e '1,000') are interpreted as numbers.

Booleans

'1', 'yes', 'true', 'on', 't', 'y', and 1 are interpreted as truthy values.

'-1', '0', 'no', 'false', 'off', 'f', 'n', 0, -1 are interpreted as falsy values.

Dates

Date strings and numbers are cast to a UTC string. These are example of dates that will be cast:

  • '2023-08-16' => 'Wed, 16 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT'
  • '08-16-2023' => 'Wed, 16 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT'
  • '08/16/2023' => 'Wed, 16 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT'
  • 'Aug 16, 2023' => 'Wed, 16 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT'
  • 'August 16, 2023' => 'Wed, 16 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT'
  • '2023-08-16T00:00:00.000Z' => 'Wed, 16 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT'
