can not get calendar date from frontmatter

[fedorbass]

trying to get the date from page.date in my case, doesn't work. Format is YYYY-MM-DD

my sample:

date: 2023-04-03 activeEnergyKcal: 764.5369999999999 source: Apple Health

I also have a problem with this. I am not able to read the date which is available by default page.file.ctime. Unfortunately, I can't create a file with the right name, so I need to grab a variable to display my results. So far, however, without success

Have you got any solution so far?

Same issue here, I get only some "random" (they probably mean something but I don´t know what) numbers, when I output the property.

Maybe they could convert back to "yyyy-MM-dd" somehow.

Came up against this issue as well. I think it's because the front matter property stores the date in a UNIX Epoch format, whereas the calendar api is expecting it as a string "YYY-MM-DD". I managed to get round this by converting the front matter property in the calendar DataView JS loop.

//DataviewJS loop 
for (let page of dv.pages('"Completed"')){ 

var date = new Date(page.date);
var dateText = date.getFullYear() + "-0"+(date.getMonth() +1)+"-"+date.getDate();

    calendarData.entries.push({ 
        date: dateText, 
        color: "orange", 
    }) 
} renderHeatmapCalendar(this.container, calendarData)
