Setup

$3

The basic setup assumes you have the columns created_at and updated_at in your table.

``javascript

let Model = require('objection').Model;
let timestampPlugin = require('objection-timestamps').timestampPlugin;

class Post extends timestampPlugin()(Model) {
static get tableName() {
return 'user';
}
// allow timestamp plugin on this model
static get timestamp() {
return true;
}
}

Post
.query()
.insertAndFetch({
firstName: 'John',
lastName: 'Doe'
})
.then(john => {
console.log(john.created_at); // ISO-8601 Date format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ
console.log(john.updated_at); // ISO-8601 Date format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ
});

`

You can pass in an object to override the default settings
`javascript

let Model = require('objection').Model;
let timestampPlugin = require('objection-timestamps').timestampPlugin;

let plugin = timestampPlugin({
createdAt: 'my_created_at', // change createdAt column name
updatedAt: 'my_updated_at', // change updatedAt column name
genDate: function() {
return 'my date format';
}
});

class Post extends plugin(Model) {
static get tableName() {
return 'user';
}
// allow timestamp plugin on this model
static get timestamp() {
return true;
}
}

Post
.query()
.insertAndFetch({
firstName: 'John',
lastName: 'Doe'
})
.then(john => {
console.log(john.my_created_at); // my date format
console.log(john.my_updated_at); // my date format
});
`

If you provide custom values plugin won't override them
`javascript

let Model = require('objection').Model;
let timestampPlugin = require('objection-timestamps').timestampPlugin;

class Post extends timestampPlugin()(Model) {
static get tableName() {
return 'user';
}
// allow timestamp plugin on this model
static get timestamp() {
return true;
}
}

Post
.query()
.insertAndFetch({
firstName: 'John',
lastName: 'Doe',
created_at: 'Foobar',
updated_at: 'Foobiz'
})
.then(john => {
console.log(john.created_at); // Foobar
console.log(john.updated_at); // Foobiz
});
