Add support for date patterns
mhosio opened this issue · 2 comments
As a user I would like to use patterns such as "d.M.yyyy" for formatting the date. This functionality has been used by many on the earlier versions of the Vaadin Framework and it is still not yet available for the new date picker.
Please check my comment here #662 (comment)
We already provide the i18n API which is enough to implement the custom parser and formatter.
Baking support for various patterns into vaadin-date-picker itself would make it more opinionated and less generic, and also it would result in growing bundle size (which is already quite big).
Now that I think of it, I agree with you. And the api makes it fairly easy to integrate third party date parsing libraries when pattern support is needed. This is more of an issue for the java-api (flow) where overriding i18n functions is trickier. However, there seems to be already an issue regarding that so I will close this one now. Thanks for the input.
