Some logical types for avsc.

Using

yarn add @ovotech/avro-logical-types

import { DateType } from '@ovotech/avro-logical-types';
import { Type } from 'avsc';

const type = Type.forSchema(

    fields: [{ name: 'kind', type: { type: 'enum', symbols: ['CAT', 'DOG'] } }, { name: 'name', type: 'string' }],
  },
  { logicalTypes: { date: DateType } },
);
