commands and date arguments

[jbaumgarten]

Hi guys,

How date/time should be passed as arguments? Should we use strings or is there any class available?

This is a tricky one because typically you would have to parse a human input string such as 2 days, however if the user knows isoformat you could accept float type.
To my knowledge, there is no automatic converter.
However, you can use the humanize package on pypi to parse human string input

I believe you just have to use strings.

For slash commands, you can probably make a custom UI using a date parser (eg. dateparser) and auto-complete though.

I wanted to use basic slash commands but I'll try to use custom UI
