Transform certain option fields before rendering

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Certain fields (like expirationDate) are stored as in non user-friendly formats. A transformation should be done before rendering. Question is whether it should be done on front end or backend.

Pros of Front over Back

  • Data is not affected and can be manipulated via expressions
  • Easier documentation coming from TD Ameritrade

Cons

  • Less intuitive expressions. For example, comparing data as a Unix time stamp is weird
  • More site bloat as a new dependency is likely going to be needed for Dates
