i am using knexjs i insert data in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss
e.g 2017-07-14 15:00:00
and after saving when the data is fetched the datetime column values are returned as javasript Date object.
i want to return those object in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss
but it returning in the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.000Z
e.g 2017-06-23T06:44:44.000Z
.
i am returning them by iterating and converting them manually. i was wondering if there is another way to do it like in mysql driver or knexjs configuration. currently my knexjs configuration is this.
var connection = require('knex')({
client: 'mysql',
connection: {
host: db.host,
user: db.user,
password: db.password,
database: db.database,
timezone: 'UTC'
}
});
This is how mysql driver converts types read from database to javascript (https://github.com/mysqljs/mysql#type-casting)
You can override default conversion by adding typeCast
connection option:
var moment = require('moment');
var connection = require('knex')({
client: 'mysql',
connection: {
host: db.host,
user: db.user,
password: db.password,
database: db.database,
timezone: 'UTC',
typeCast: function (field, next) {
if (field.type == 'DATETIME') {
return moment(field.string()).format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss');
}
return next();
}
}
});
I'm not sure if you need to add custom parsing for DATETIME
or TIMESTAMP
type though.
Change your connection object with this:
var connection = require('knex')({
client: 'mysql',
connection: {
host: db.host,
user: db.user,
password: db.password,
database: db.database,
timezone: 'UTC',
dateStrings: true
}
});
In my case, the connection was a string so I had to find the date OID and use
pg.types.setTypeParser(DATE_OID, d => moment(d));
