I'm working on legacy system and in DB the birthday is coming this way '1992-05-18' in json. I am using AngularJS and when applying the data binding of this variable in an input type = "date", of an update form, it is necessary to instantiate a Date object. Like this:
//person.byrthday = '1992-04-26'
var person.birthday = new Date (person.birthday);
// after person.byrthday = '1992-04-25T00:00:00.000Z'
How can I solve this problem through Front End in an elegant way, without "breaking" two way data binding?
I find myself in Brasil UTC -03:00
There are a few ways to solve this problem. A quick and dirty solution could be to leverage moment.js. You can convert the response from the API to a true date format this way.
If you don't want to use an additionally library, you can make a function to parse the date string. You can do the following to parse is to become a correct date:
var dateSplit = person.birthday.split('-');
var mydate = new Date(dateSplit[0], dateSplit[1] - 1, dateSplit[2]);
person.birthday= mydate;
Take note that the month index starts at 0 (aka January=0). Hopefully this helps.
