What is this Contribution About?

blog/sections/Seo/SeoBlogPost.tsx emits BlogPost.date verbatim as the BlogPosting's datePublished. That value is usually a bare YYYY-MM-DD (the admin's @format date picker), which Google's Rich Results Test flags:

  • O valor de datetime para "datePublished" não é válido
  • Falta o fuso horário da propriedade datetime "datePublished"

toBlogPosting now normalizes datePublished and dateModified through a new toISODateTime helper in blog/utils/date.ts:

  • 2025-06-01 → 2025-06-01T08:00:00.000Z. A bare date has no time of day; 08:00 UTC rather than midnight keeps it on the same calendar day from UTC-08:00 to UTC+14:00, so search results in the Americas don't show the post a day early.
  • An offset-less date-time is pinned to UTC; one with an offset keeps its instant.
  • Parsing uses scheduledTime's strict ISO check. An impossible date such as 2024-02-31, or a non-ISO string, is dropped instead of emitted as invalid structured data. The Unix epoch is kept, not treated as a failure.

Tests: blog/tests/jsonLD.test.ts. deno test blog/tests, deno fmt, deno lint and deno check blog/mod.ts pass.

Same fix for @decocms/apps-blog in decocms/blocks: decocms/blocks#638

Summary by cubic

Fixes blog post JSON-LD structured data so datePublished and dateModified are emitted as full ISO date-times with a timezone instead of bare dates like 2025-06-01, which Google's Rich Results Test rejects.

  • Bare dates are placed at 08:00 UTC so the calendar day doesn't shift in the Americas, and offset date-times keep their instant.
  • Values are parsed with a strict ISO check: impossible dates and non-ISO strings are dropped, while the Unix epoch is preserved.

Written for commit b88bf92. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Blog post structured data now reports publication and update dates as standardized date-times. Dates without a time are interpreted as midnight UTC, and dates with timezone offsets retain the correct instant. Unparseable dates are omitted rather than included as invalid values.

BlogPosting's datePublished/dateModified were emitted verbatim, so a
bare YYYY-MM-DD from the admin's date picker failed Google's Rich
Results Test (invalid datetime, missing timezone). Normalize them via
a new toISODateTime helper, pinned to UTC like dateToTime, and drop
values that can't be parsed.

Walkthrough

The change adds toISODateTime to normalize dates to ISO date-time strings. toBlogPosting uses it for publication and modification dates, and tests cover conversion and omission of unparseable values.

25-28: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cover impossible calendar dates.

Add 2025-02-30 to this unparseable-value test. dateToTime checks only the date shape, so toISODateTime can return a shifted ISO value. toBlogPosting uses this helper for JSON-LD dates, but the current assertions cover only empty and non-date text.

Suggested test
 Deno.test("toISODateTime returns undefined for an unparseable value", () => {
   assertEquals(toISODateTime(""), undefined);
   assertEquals(toISODateTime("not a date"), undefined);
+  assertEquals(toISODateTime("2025-02-30"), undefined);
 });

Midnight UTC is the previous evening across the Americas, so search
results could show a post a day early. 08:00 UTC lands on the same
calendar day from UTC-08:00 to UTC+14:00.

dateToTime is lenient: Date rolls an impossible 2024-02-31 over into
March, reads non-ISO strings in server-local time, and its 0-on-failure
sentinel dropped a valid Unix-epoch date. scheduledTime range-checks the
calendar fields and signals failure with null, so invalid dates are
omitted and the epoch survives.
