-# $dateFromString
-
-The `$dateFromString` aggregation operator in Amazon DocumentDB allows you to convert a date-time string into a date object. This is useful when your data is stored as strings but you need to perform date-based operations on the data.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `dateString`: A string that represents a date and time.
-
-  * `format`: (optional) A string that specifies the format of the `dateString`. If not provided, Amazon DocumentDB will attempt to parse the string in the ISO-8601 format.
-
-  * `timezone`: (optional) A string that specifies the time zone. If not provided, Amazon DocumentDB will use the time zone of the server.
-
-  * `onError`: (optional) Specifies the action to take if the conversion fails. Possible values are `'error'` (the default, which throws an error), `'null'` (returns `null`), or `'replace'` (replaces the value with the replacement string specified in the `onErrorMessage` option).
-
-  * `onErrorMessage`: (optional) If `onError` is set to `'replace'`, this option specifies the replacement string.

-    db.missionLog.insertMany([
-    { _id: 1, event: "missionStart", logDate: "2020-03-15T13:41:33"},
-    { _id: 2, event: "jumpPoint1", logDate: "2020-03-15T13:45:34"},
-    { _id: 3, event: "jumpPoint2", logDate: "2020-03-15T13:48:21"},
-    { _id: 4, event: "jumpPoint3", logDate: "2020-03-15T13:52:09"},
-    { _id: 5, event: "missionEnd", logDate: "2020-03-15T13:58:44"}
-    ]);
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.missionLog.aggregate([
-      {
-        $project: {
-          event: '$event',
-          logDate: {
-            $dateFromString: {
-              dateString: '$logDate'
-            }
-          }
-        }
-      }
-    ]);
