From 6f3b3338ba73f1ebc50836758b772d7c57b8852f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Christoph=20B=C3=BCscher?= Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2018 10:34:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [Docs] Clarify accessing Date methods in painless (#33560) The documentation currently tells users to use `doc['event_date'].value.getMillis` to access milliseconds in a date. It turns out the way it works is `doc['event_date'].value.millis`. This change corrects this and gives a hint at how other date related methods work. --- docs/painless/painless-getting-started.asciidoc | 12 +++++------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/painless/painless-getting-started.asciidoc b/docs/painless/painless-getting-started.asciidoc index b325fcf5549..936bd8e198c 100644 --- a/docs/painless/painless-getting-started.asciidoc +++ b/docs/painless/painless-getting-started.asciidoc @@ -198,13 +198,11 @@ POST hockey/player/1/_update ==== Dates Date fields are exposed as -`ReadableDateTime` or -so they support methods like -`getYear`, -and `getDayOfWeek`. -To get milliseconds since epoch call -`getMillis`. -For example, the following returns every hockey player's birth year: +`ReadableDateTime`, so they support methods like `getYear`, `getDayOfWeek` +or e.g. getting milliseconds since epoch with `getMillis`.
