 my $store = Catmandu::Store::MongoDB->new(
            database_name => 'test' ,
            bags => {
                data => {
                plugins => [qw(Datestamps)]
            }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The Catmandu::Plugin::Datestamps plugin automatically adds/updates datestamp fields in your
records. If you add this plugin to your Catmandu::Store configuration then automatically a
'date_created' and 'date_updated' field gets added to newly ingested records.

The plugin should be set for every bag defined in your Catmandu::Store. In the examples above we've
set the plugin to the default bag 'data' that is created in every Catmandu::Store.

In Catmandu::Store-s that don't have a dynamic schema (e.g. Solr, DBI) these new date fields should be
predefined (e.g by changing the schema.xml or tables fields).

=head1 CONFIGURATION

=over

=item datestamp_created_key

Field name where the creation date is stored. Defaults to 'date_created'. Also
aliased as C<datestamp_created_field>.

=item datestamp_updated_key

Field name where the update date is stored. Defaults to 'date_updated'. Also
aliased as C<datestamp_updated_field>.

=item datestamp_format

Use a custom C<strftime> format. See L<Catmandu::Util::now> for possible format values.

    my $store = Catmandu::Store::MyDB->new(bags => {book => {plugins =>
        ['Datestamps'], datestamp_format => '%Y/%m/%d'}});

    my $store = Catmandu::Store::MyDB->new(bags => {book => {plugins =>
        ['Datestamps'], datestamp_format => 'iso_date_time_millis'}});
