How can I support civil.Date in ogen ?

[toudi]

So I was reading about x-ogen-type property and found some examples in the repository:

x-ogen-type: github.com/ogen-go/ogen/_testdata/testtypes.StringJSON

so then I tried to add civil.Date like so:

x-ogen-type: cloud.google.com/go/civil.Date

However this did not generate the code in any different way. Then I followed the example some more and I think that it needs to support a certain interface:

type StringOgen struct{ Value string }

func (o *StringOgen) Encode(e *jx.Encoder) {
	e.Str(o.Value)
}

func (o *StringOgen) Decode(d *jx.Decoder) error {
	s, err := d.Str()
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	o.Value = s
	return nil
}

am I correct so far ? Of course I would be more than happy to provide a PR that would add support for this but I feel that it may not be OK as then it would make ogen dependent on civil.Date. Plus, if somebody would like some other library it would clash. So should I simply create my own package that would .. sort of bind this together ?

Sorry if these questions seem dumb, it's just that I wasn't able to find much documentation, apart from one opened issue that adds support for decimals

Right now ogen decodes date types into time.Time objects (as documented) however because I am using a custom type for the format: "date" I end up having to cast from the custom type to time.Time and then extracting the date part so I thought I could just invest some time and figure out how to do it "properly" :D

kind regards and thank you for ogen!
