Avro Epoch Days

A Logical type for representing a date stored as the number of days since epoch

Using

yarn add @ovotech/avro-epoch-days

And then you can use AvroEpochDays for a logicalType of a field.

examples/simple.ts

import { Type, Schema } from 'avsc';
import { AvroEpochDays } from '@ovotech/avro-epoch-days';

const eventSchema: Schema = {
  type: 'record',
  name: 'Event',
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'field1',
      type: { type: 'int', logicalType: 'date' },
    },
  ],
};

const EventType = Type.forSchema(eventSchema, { logicalTypes: { date: AvroEpochDays } });

const encoded = EventType.toBuffer({ field1: new Date('2020-01-01') });
const decoded = EventType.fromBuffer(encoded);

console.log(decoded);

It also supports schema evolution from int, logical:date and string types

examples/evolution.ts

import { Type, Schema } from 'avsc';
import { AvroEpochDays } from '@ovotech/avro-epoch-days';

const previousSchema: Schema = {
  type: 'record',
  name: 'Event',
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'field1',
      type: { type: 'string' },
    },
  ],
};

const eventSchema: Schema = {
  type: 'record',
  name: 'Event',
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'field1',
      type: { type: 'int', logicalType: 'date' },
    },
  ],
};

const PreviousType = Type.forSchema(previousSchema);
const EventType = Type.forSchema(eventSchema, {
  logicalTypes: { date: AvroEpochDays },
});
const previousTypeResolver = EventType.createResolver(PreviousType);

const encoded = PreviousType.toBuffer({ field1: '2020-01-01' });
const decoded = EventType.fromBuffer(encoded, previousTypeResolver);

console.log(decoded);

Running the tests

Then you can run the tests with:

yarn test

Coding style (linting, etc) tests

Style is maintained with prettier and tslint

yarn lint

Deployment

Deployment is preferment by lerna automatically on merge / push to main, but you'll need to bump the package version numbers yourself. Only updated packages with newer versions will be pushed to the npm registry.
