Date Formatting

[#1]

Hi All,

I created a table with XML view.

This is how i have binded.

<items>

<ColumnListItem>

<cells>

          <Text

            text="{empModel>Empno}" />

          <Text

            text="{empModel>Fname}" />

          <Text

            text="{empModel>Lname}" />

          <Text

            text="{empModel>Addrs}" />

          <Text

            text="{empModel>Desgn}" />

          <Text

            text="{empModel>Dob}" />

</cells>

</ColumnListItem>

    </items>

But my date format which is coming from gateway is in this format "2015-05-05T05:13:19.3167890".

I want to display it as 05-05-2015.

I also have a datepicker and in that datepicker date format is not selected in this format. So basically how i can perform the POST operations?

I am a beginner so if possible attach a simple code for reference.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Raghu,

You can write the below code in your formatter function

1. formatDate : function(oDate) { 
2.           var formatDate = new Date(oDate);
3.           var date = formatDate.getDate();
4.           var month = formatDate.getMonth() + 1;  // as month starts from 0
5.           var year   = formatDate.getFullYear();
6.           var ouput = year + "-" + month + "-" +date;
   
7.      return  output;
8. } 

Thanks,

Naga

IMO, a formatter is a bit overkill (it requires an extra function in the controller, and more importantly, it is only one-way).

The sap.ui.model.type.Date datatype seems way more versatile
