Duration field type

This release introduces a new first-class Keel field type: Duration. This will capture an interval of time. For example:

model Employee {
    fields {
        name Text
        startDate Date
        periodOfService Duration
    }
}

Fields of this type will be persisted in the database as an interval value. API responses and requests will expect fields to be provided as ISO8601 (opens in a new tab) formatted strings.

ModelAPI & Functions runtime

In the ModelAPI and the custom functions runtime, we are introducing a new Duration class. Similar to File and InlineFile, model fields of type duration will be instances of this Duration class. Please refer to the Model API documentation for full usage and more information on how to interact with these rich data types.

Please make sure to update your CLI by running npm install -g keel.

Thank you for using Keel!
