Move date formatting from templates to backend #60

Closed orende closed 1 year ago

orende commented 1 year ago

Why

We currently have logic in the Thymeleaf templates for formatting java.util.Date objects to strings. This makes the templates more complex and requires us to write acceptance-tests using WebDriver to verify the validity of the formatted dates.

What

This PR moves the formatting of the dates into the DTO assembler-classes in order to simplify the templates and allow us to verify the date formatting using simple unit tests.

(this PR was split out from #59)

After discussion we decided that the pros of keeping the date-format-logic in the templates outweigh the cons.
