Topic: MDBDataTableV5 display date object in different format
I would to Input Date Object into MDBDataTableV5, and display in different format for example dd/mm/yyyy. The reason why I want Date object instead of String is because when I sort by the Date field, the sorting is incorrect for the String formatted field.
May I know whether this feature is available or is there an alternative way to resolve the problem?
Hi,
Don't apply the format to your datatable but create a function like this:
public showTimestamp(n: string) {
let y = n.substr(0,4);
let m = n.substr(5,2);
let d = n.substr(8, 2);
return d + "/" + m + "/" + y;
}
in your HTML us this function like this:
<tr *ngFor="let v of table.data" scope="row">
<td>
{{ showTimestamp(v.datum) }}
</td>
Your data is always shown in the right format and is also shown sorted correctly.

We had already planned to create such a feature, but firstly it needs to be added at MDB Standard. For now, you just have to display data in a specific format.
