Datepicker returning time

[sophos707]

I’ve got a datepicker on my form.

<input id="ID_frm_DatePicker" name="frm_DatePicker" is="dmx-date-picker" format="YYYY-MM-DD" dmx-bind:value="form_hidden_sendingimginfotoapi.data.api_toMindee.data.document.inference.prediction.date.value" type="text">

It always returns the time as 0’s.

Is this how it’s supposed to work? Or am I doing something wrong?
My database is just expecting a date YYYY-MM-DD.

Yes, that is exactly the format that is supposed to be returned by the date picker.

Thanks, @Teodor.

If that’s the expected date, why does Wappler’s default validation not accept it?
Or am I doing something else wrong?

Server action…

Check:

A date from the Date Picker is an invalid date!

Hi , I have a text input box with a date picker, I have set the format to DD-MMM-YY. [image] I also have set Date Validation on the same text input box. On the page the date picker works well, but the date validation does not recognize the picked date as valid. [image] Note: if I set the format to YYYY-MM-DD in the date picker, the validation sees the picked date as valid, but this format is considered not the best for user friendliness. I have tried a few experiments DD/MM/YY also does no…

I removed the client side validation; still does the same thing.

The above screen shots are from a Server action and the response I get in the browser.

Are you sure? What’s the input code?
Also change the input type to text, not date.

The input code:

This is what it looks like on the live site:

The YYYY-05-DD is just a variable I was messing with to see what happened if I formatted it like:

ID_frm_DatePicker.value.formatDate(‘YYYY-MM-DD’)

And, it definitely returns this:

Formatter works like:

ID_frm_DatePicker.value.formatDate('yyyy-MM-dd')

I agree with you that the date picker should return just the date and not the time when the time picker was not enabled, this is what the native html date picker also does. I will have a look if we could change this behavior and hope it doesn’t break for other users.

Here an update that you can test: dmxDatePicker.zip (2.4 KB)

This has been fixed in Wappler 4.9.0
