onOpen after format

[matteocollina]

I used : format: function (date) { return date.toLocaleDateString(); }

and, for example i have 3/7/2017 (3rd of July 2017) but when i open the calendar , i found 7/3/2017 (7th of March 2017)

Oh. That's no good. I'll have a look at this tomorrow. Sorry, I'm a bit behind on replies here.

Hi Chris, thank you for your cool lightweight script.

I have same problem. When i change the format(Js line 81) and select a day, calender is selecting 'Today' on reopen.

Ah. Sorry it took me so long to dig into this. If you specify format you also need to specify parse which is responsible for converting from your format back into a proper date.

Here's an example, using an obviously custom format which the JS date object won't know how to parse:

            format (dt) {
              return dt.getFullYear() + '|' + dt.getMonth() + '|' + dt.getDate();
            },
            parse (dt) {
              if (!dt) {
                return new Date();
              }

              const [year, month, day] = dt.split('|').map((s) => parseInt(s, 10));
              const result = new Date();
              result.setYear(year);
              result.setMonth(month);
              result.setDate(day);
              return result;
            }

Note, the if (!dt) { clause is important, because the date string is initially undefined.
