Hi folks. I was following the recommendation for server side timestamps by using the following:

val updatedAt = datetime("updated_at").defaultExpression(CurrentDateTime())

I was looking at the following chunk for using the

EntityHook

and it wasn’t clear how to leverage the

CurrentDateTime

here as well:

EntityHook.subscribe { action ->
            if (action.changeType == EntityChangeType.Updated) {
                action.toEntity(this)?.updatedAt = LocalDateTime.now(Clock.systemUTC())
            }
        }

I’ve tried looking through the code/docs but wasn’t able to find an example of how to do this properly. Is there something obvious that I’m missing here, or do these two not work very well together. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I think the EntityHook only applies to DAO api not the DSL...

Makes sense. Darn, was hoping to be able to leverage the same logic. Thanks for the help.
