Vapor MySQL Timestamps Default Values - mysql

Question

I am trying to create a model that has various timestamps (createdAt, updatedAt, deletedAt), with default values. How can this be achieved? I tried playing around with the prepare method, but to no avail. Thank you in advance.
This is my current class:

Answer 1

Vapor offers sth like:
static func prepare(on connection: MySQLConnection) -> Future<Void> {
return Database.create(self, on: connection) { builder in
builder.field(for: \.iq, type: .int, .default(.literal("123456")))
...
this should work with Dates as well.
Or you could try to set them in a custom init:
required init(id:Int?, adressLine1:String, adressLine2:String?, city:String, state:String, zip:String) {
self.id = id
self.adressLine1 = adressLine1
self.adressLine2 = adressLine2
self.city:String = city:String
self.state = state
self.zip = zip
self.createdAt = Date() //<---- here
self.updatedAt = Date() //<---- here
self.deletedAt = Date() //<---- here
}
or:
required init(id:Int?, adressLine1:String, adressLine2:String?, city:String, state:String, zip:String,
createdAt:Date = Date()/*<--- here*/, updatedAt:Date = Date()/*<--- here*/,deletedAt:Date = Date()/*<--- here*/) {
self.id = id
self.adressLine1 = adressLine1
self.adressLine2 = adressLine2
self.city:String = city:String
self.state = state
self.zip = zip
self.createdAt = createdAt
self.updatedAt = updatedAt
self.deletedAt = deletedAt
}
