How to set the date format for a date column?

[garybentley]

If I have a column defined as:

{ id : 'date', title : 'Date', html : '<input type=date />' }

How do I change the date format?

Couple of other issues:

1. The date font is monspace which jars with the other fonts. (same with other pre-baked data types such as select lists) - it also has a heavier font-weight for some reason.
2. You can't set the date with a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy thus 04/27/2025 won't set the initial date and there is no indication in the documentation as to the number to use. I presume milliseconds from the epoch but it would be nice to have confirmation of this.

Also, please have it so that a column has a data type. The 'html' is klunky and error prone.

For example:

{ dataType : 'date' }

Is much cleaner and indicative of what should happen with the column.

Or:

{ dataType : 'select', options : [ { name : 'Hello World', value : '1' } ] }

The default would be dataType : 'text'.

The 'html' value could then be either html or provide a function that would generate the html, if the user wished to override the default behaviour.

Hi Gary,

I think that is a valid request, however it opens up a rabbit hole and I don't have the resources at the moment to implement and maintain a complete zoo of possible controls.
So I rely on the standard, which can be styled within limits.

For now

Note that Wunderbaum does not implement fancy input controls though. Rather think of it as a framework that makes it easy to use standard or custom HTML controls: ...
