Handle casting to Timex.Ecto.Date

Convert to native Ecto representation

Creates a Timex.Date from from a passed in date.

Returns {:ok, Timex.Date} when successful.

Returns :error if the type passed in is either not an erl date nor Ecto.Date

Examples

Using an Ecto.Date:

iex> Ecto.Date.from_erl({2017, 2, 1})
...> |> Timex.Ecto.Date.load
{:ok, ~D[2017-02-01]}

Using an erl date:

iex> Timex.Ecto.Date.load({2017, 2, 1})
{:ok, ~D[2017-02-01]}

Returns the underlying schema type for the custom type.

For example, if you want to provide your own date structures, the type function should return :date.

Note this function is not required to return Ecto primitive types, the type is only required to be known by the adapter.
