Date type

[four43]

Is there an example of how to use a date type in Themepark? Or is that just asking for trouble? Does the base OSM data support a date type that gets parsed into a Lua date/time?

Thanks!

The only date type in OSM data is the creation timestamp of an OSM object which is given to Lua as a number in seconds since Jan 1 1970. This is compatible to what the Lua os.time function returns. There is no native date or time datatype in Lua. All OSM tags are strings, so no date ot time datatype there either.
