Format.date should accept java.util.Date #38

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Ext accepts a Date:

/**
 * Parse a value into a formatted date using the specified format pattern.
 * @param {Mixed} value The value to format
 * @param {String} format (optional) Any valid date format string (defaults
to 'm/d/Y')
 * @return {String} The formatted date string
 */
date : function(v, format){
    if(!v){
        return "";
    }
    if(!(v instanceof Date)){
        v = new Date(Date.parse(v));
    }
    return v.dateFormat(format || "m/d/Y");
},

Also, the format is optional, defaults to "m/d/Y". So could you add a 
Format.date
with only 1 argument?

The Format class has String oriented functions. Please use DateUtil for untility
functions for the Date data type. For example DateUtil#format

I've added the convenience method Format.date(String dataStr) where format 
defaults
to "m/d/Y" but the preferred API would be to use DateUtil.format with an 
explicit
format. Just declare a default date format constant in your class and use that 
when
carrying out Date formatting options.
