| 2 | * Dateformat in schema helps DataModel to recognize DateTime (temporal) data. A variable is of type temporal can be
|
| 3 | * specified in schema
|
| 4 | * ```
|
| 5 | * { name: 'name_of_variable', 'type': 'dimension', subtype: 'temporal' };
|
| 6 | * ```
|
| 7 | * DataModel recognizes two date format without specifying the `dateformat` property in schema
|
| 8 | * - Date in miliseconds from epoch date i.e. the result of `new Date(2012, 10, 20).getDate()`
|
| 9 | * - Instance of JavaScript `Date`
|
| 10 | *
|
| 11 | * For any other date format, the format needs to be specified. Following are the tokens available to specify the
|
| 12 | * format.
