How to format dates in an XTemplate?

**abraxxa** · 15 Oct 2011 5:17 PM

In ExtJS it's

Code:

{end_date:date("Y")}

but that results in a "Uncaught TypeError: Property 'log' of object #<Object> is not a function" in sencha-touch-all-debug-w-comments.js:22810

It looks like we might have missed this functionality in the preview release. Expect this to be part of one of the upcoming releases.

You can format the date yourself inside XTemplate by binding your data like this:

Code:

{[values.end_date.format('Y')]} // works in Sencha Touch 1.0

{[Ext.Date.format(values.end_date, 'Y')]} // works in Sencha Touch 2.0 (dev preview)

This will now work with the latest release.

Alternatively, you could do something like:

Code:

{[Ext.util.Format.date(values.end_date, 'Y')]}
