Convert date format in SAPUI5

[arindam_samanta]

Hi Expert,

I want to convert date format as SAP input format. In SAPUI5 I have used below code:

<Label id="lbl1" text="Enter Date" visible="true" required="true" design="Bold"> </Label>

<DateTimeInput id="dtDT" type="Date" change="dateFunc"></DateTimeInput>

The input format is: FEB 7,2014.

I need to convert this format to YYYY/MM/DD and display in a alert method as a message.

How to convert the input date format into YYYY/MM/DD format.

Any possible sollution would be accepted gratefully.

Thanks & Regards,

Arindam Samanta.

Hi Arindam,

You could use:

https://sapui5.netweaver.ondemand.com/sdk/docs/api/symbols/sap.ca.ui.model.format.DateFormat.html

var dateFormat = sap.ui.core.format.DateFormat.getDateInstance({pattern : "YYYY/MM/DD" });   
var dateFormatted = dateFormat.format(yourDate);

Kind regards

Hi,

the developer guide has a nice description at the bottom of the page SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit too.

Hi Angel,

The same thing can be implemented in view. In case if you have idea about that can you please explain.
I remember it was something like below:
{

     'path' : 'Zname',

     'formatter' : '..formatter lib path'

}

Hi Arindam,

Use split function to seperate the date. Use two times split function. First time seperate the comma(,) and second time for space. So you will get  in an array. Use them to display in your format.

Tryit Editor v1.8

For example, Use like this.. array[0]+"/"+array2[0]+"/"+array2[1] in the output format.
