# Common Converters

Common converters compatible with [odata2ts](https://github.com/odata2ts/odata2ts).

## Conversions

| OData Type           | Result Type      | Converter Id                  | Description                                 |
| -------------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `Edm.DateTimeOffset` | `Date`           | dateTimeOffsetToDateConverter | Conversion to JS' date instance             |
| `Edm.Duration`       | `SimpleDuration` | simpleDurationConverter       | Result data type is provided by the package |
| `Edm.Int64`          | `bigint`         | int64ToBigIntConverter        | Converts to JS' built-in `bigint` type      |

By default, only the `dateTimeOffsetToDateConverter` is included when the whole converter package is used.
It's rather intended to pick the converters you need.

### `SimpleDuration`

The `SimpleDuration` type is provided by this package and represents the duration as simple object:

```ts
export interface SimpleDuration {
  years?: number;
  months?: number;
  days?: number;
  hours?: number;
  minutes?: number;
  seconds?: number;
}
```

Note: `seconds` can be a fraction to represent milliseconds, e.g. `23.123` = 23 sec and 123 ms
