WalletPasses.PassData (wallet_passes v0.10.0)

Copy Markdown View Source

Platform-agnostic representation of wallet pass content.

Contains shared data consumed by both Apple and Google pass builders. Platform-specific visual configuration lives in WalletPasses.Apple.Visual and WalletPasses.Google.Visual (passed separately).

expiration_date vs end_date

These fields are independent and serve different audiences:

  • end_date (a Date.t()) is informational — it renders a human-readable range via format_date_range/1 (e.g. "July 4–6, 2026") and has no effect on pass validity.
  • expiration_date (a DateTime.t()) is behavioral — the operating system uses it to automatically dim the pass and mark it expired once the instant passes. It maps to Apple's top-level expirationDate and Google's validTimeInterval.end. Leave it nil (the default) to emit nothing.

They often coincide for an event ticket but legitimately diverge — e.g. a ticket that stays valid through a grace period after the event ends. The library never derives one from the other.

Use expiration_date for expiry known when the pass is issued; use WalletPasses.expire_pass/1 for expiry decided after issuance (refund, fraud). See the lifecycle guide for details.
