timestamp field considered "malformed" by front end app

[scottlingran]

I have a created_at field in my postgres database, the type is timestamp with time zone.

However, this is rendered as a string in the frontend admin app and considered "malformed".

This also blocks any saves that can be made.

How can I resolve this issue?

Ok so the workaround I used is to disable editing the timestamp inputs.

"editview": {
  "show": false
}

Would be great if express-admin had some html input for timestamp fields.

Hi @locksley

You can configure your timestamp column as

"control": {
    "datetime": true
}

You can find all available control types here

For created_at or updated_at columns it's better to update them automatically via events

You can take a look at the created_at/updated_at example

Thanks!

Btw, @locksley currently there is a bug in the way the datetime columns are being formatted inside the UI. That's just got fixed here https://github.com/simov/express-admin/pull/61 so keep an eye on the project when the new version comes out to npm, or just pull master in the meantime :coffee:
