The documentation for the API Explorer is practically non-existent. One of my models requires a date property. The example given in the API Explorer looks like this: '2016-03-27'. How can I add a time to that?
Keep in mind I just need a datetime literal to enter into the API Explorer, not any JavaScript code.
I couldn't locate any documentation either. Based on a guess, I tried out some of the dateString literals that Date.parse() would parse successfully and found it to be working as expected with loopback. I used the example string formats from here.
For example, I used the following dateString for the created field in the API Explorer for a POST \Users request:
javascript
{
"email":"[email protected]",
"password":"pass123",
"created":"Mar 24, 2016 04:00:00 GMT"
}
The response contained this:
javascript
"created" : "2016-03-24T04:00:00.000Z"
I also noticed that, similar to what is described in the link pasted, the Date defaults to local timezone if not explicitly stated.
