I am using ion-datetime for my appointment form. While inserting it is working fine without any problem. But when I need to update the inserted appointment date form details from back end, the date value is not displaying in ion-datetime.
Below is my code:
update.html:
<ion-item class="border-bottom">
<ion-label class="ionselect" >Appointment Date:</ion-label>
<ion-datetime name="appdate" displayFormat="YYYY MMM DD" [(ngModel)]="leadDetailsUpdate.appt_date"></ion-datetime>
</ion-item>
update.ts:
leadDetailsUpdate={
appt_date:''
};
The Date format I am getting from back end as follows:
appt_date: "2017-01-01"
Below is the error message I am getting in console:
Error parsing date: "null". Please provide a valid ISO 8601 datetime format: https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
convert it to ISO format before displaying
var date = new Date('2017-01-01').toISOString()
console.log(date)
Even Gaurav is right, I found that if your timezone is not +0, you can have problems with that. I found somewhere this solution:
let tzoffset = (new Date()).getTimezoneOffset() * 60000; //offset in milliseconds
this.startTime = (new Date(this.myStartTime - tzoffset)).toISOString().slice(0,-1);
Then in my HTML I have it like this:
<ion-datetime displayFormat="HH:mm" [(ngModel)]="startTime" (ionChange)="changeCheckOutStartTime()" style="padding-left: 21px"></ion-datetime>
And in the changeCheckOutStartTime()
method, I take the time and create a moment:
changeCheckOutStartTime() {
this.myStartTime = moment(this.startTime).toDate();
}
Using ISO format before displaying, like this:
this.myDate = new Date('2017-01-01').toISOString()
Will give us a difference of hours, each browser would do something different. In my case I had a difference of 5 hours (16/12/17 02:00 would be 16/12/17 07:00).
A better way would be to use moment as ionic recomends on its documentationn (https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/components/datetime/DateTime/#advanced-datetime-validation-and-manipulation)
Example:
npm install moment --S
.import moment from 'moment';
.this.myDate = moment().format()
.The best would be create a pipe. Well check this demo http://plnkr.co/edit/MHjUdC for inspiration, goog luck :)
