format data-date

[avalenti38]

Hi et thank you for this work.

How i can select the data-date correctly ? i have to parse it with new date or it is possible to change it with new format YYYY-MM-DD in the parameter ?

Sorry if I don't understand correctly.

Date picker parses given date strings using the format specified with the format option. So, if the format of the date given by the server (or whatever) is different from the one you use for the UI, you need to parse it first, then set the resulting Date object programmatically with setDate().

Or, you may be able to create a custom parser that supports both ISO and local date formats, like this:

var datepicker = new Datepicker(elem, {
  format: {
    toValue: (date) => {
      const format = typeof date === 'string' && date.match(/^\d{4}(-\d\d){2}$/)
        ? 'yyyy-mm-dd'
        : 'dd/mm/yyyy';
      return Datepicker.parseDate(date, format, 'fr');
    },
    toDisplay: date => Datepicker.formatDate(date, 'dd/mm/yyyy', 'fr'),
  }
};

I can't do this on typescript given the toValue is only accepting string

@JoshuaAlzate, can you elaborate on what you are trying to do?
format.toValue() is called when a date passed to setDate() is neither a Date object nor a number, and the types setDate() accepts are string, Date, and number. So, there should be no problem with toValue()'s only accepting string.
