"date" field in Message object is returned incorrectly

As seen in documentation: date | Integer | Date the message was sent in Unix time

Aiogram returns formatted datetime instead which is incorrect (expected integer as seen in docs) and makes harder to port code from other libraries.

Test case:

@dp.message_handler()
async def show_datetime(message: types.Message):
    print(message.date)
    return

Expected output: >>> 1532863711

Got output: >>> 2018-07-29 11:28:31

@JrooTJunior Of course, I can write any number of “helper” methods. The thing is: you’re making a simple API complex just because you want to. But this is not your project (originally). All you had to do was to

1. Replicate Bot API methods “as is”
2. Do whatever you want since you’re creator of library.

I appreciate your “2)”, but you’ve completely failed “1)”. I see you (and community behind you) don’t see any problems here and don’t even feel guilty, so I’ll just close the issue. Good luck making simple things harder because of your fantasies.

Yeah, this is an issue, that @JrooTJunior has to fix (or anyone else) + this: forward_date: base.Integer = fields.Field()
