amCharts dateAxis displays only time and not date

Question

chart data date is the following example format: 5/17/19 18:00

However, the chart only shows time on the date axis like: 18:00

I wish to be able to show the complete date with time, same as the way it is in the data object.

i tried setting input date format, and chart date format. didnt help.

here is the working code: https://codepen.io/pthakkar/pen/dEzOJo

chart.dateFormatter.dateFormat = "M/dd/yy H:mm";
chart.dateFormatter.inputDateFormat = "M/dd/yy H:mm";

1. Hoping to show full date on chart.

Additional minor issues unable to fix:

2. Click and drag does not result into zoom, it only selects / highlights the area. Wish to achieve zoom.

Answer 1

Your charts baseInterval is hour so you should set the date format for hour key (docs):

categoryAxis.dateFormats.setKey("hour", "M/dd/yy H:mm");

Maybe you want to set the format for other keys. Therefore take a look at the previously linked docs.

The inputDateFormat is only for reading the data.

For zooming you have set your cursor behavior to this:

chart.cursor.behavior = "selectX";

You should just remove that line or set it to zoomX (docs):

chart.cursor.behavior = "zoomX";

Alternatively you can use zoomY or zoomXY.

Here I forked your code pen and updated it.
