What are the format options for dateRenderer?

[shauntune]

Hi,

Anyone have any ideas what the options are for formatting a date using Ext.util.Format.dateRenderer?

The API document only says:

dateRendererpublic function dateRenderer(String format)
Returns a date rendering function that can be reused to apply a date format multiple times efficiently
Parameters:

format : String
Any valid date format string
Returns:

Function
The date formatting function
This method is defined by Format.

Valid according to whom? I see Y-m-d works, what about short month names, long month names, AM/PM,etc. Anyone have a list?

Thanks!
Shaun

the dateRender function takes in a format string that is based on PHP's date formatting options. To find all of these, have a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php All the options are there

actually, Ext's "date parsing and format syntax is a subset of PHP's date() function, and the formats that are supported will provide results equivalent to their PHP versions". (taken from the Date docs). i.e not all PHP parsing/formatting syntax is available in Ext

if you're using the PHP docs as a reference, you'll need to make sure the equivalent Ext syntax exists before attempting to use it. (The current Ext Date docs shows the list of formatting options that are available).

Perfect, the list in the 1.1 Date API is just what I was looking for. Thanks for the help all!!!
