When I submit my form I can see the date being sent to in the post. However, It doesn't save the date. If I do a date check it says it is not in the proper format. Here is my date picker function, it displays fine:
$j(function(){
$j("#mile_date").datepicker();
});
the $j is because I am using prototype as well so all jquery calls are using the the noconflict variable.
Here is the post:
Parameters: {"utf8"=>"Γ£ô", "authenticity_token"=>"Fj4HW/B4EOan/vcPZLJ75TvWkRH4ZKSFsPLlQLSD0cI=", "mile"=>{"odometer"=>"", "trip"=>"428.2
", "gallons"=>"24.959", "note"=>"", "temperature"=>"", "date"=>"06/22/2011"}, "commit"=>"Create Mile"}
So it sends the date fine but rails doesn't seem to like the format. It inserts a null value into the database. If I submit it with the default datefield with the drop downs it sends this and saves fine:
Parameters: {"utf8"=>"Γ£ô", "authenticity_token"=>"Fj4HW/B4EOan/vcPZLJ75TvWkRH4ZKSFsPLlQLSD0cI=", "mile"=>{"odometer"=>"", "trip"=>"428.2
", "gallons"=>"24.959", "mpg"=>"17.156136063144", "note"=>"", "temperature"=>"", "date(1i)"=>"2011", "date(2i)"=>"6", "date(3i)"=>"22"}, "c
ommit"=>"Create Mile"}
In the insert statement it inserts the date as:'2011-06-22'
Does Rails expect the date in 3 variables to construct the date format correctly? How can I get the datepicker to send the correct date format?
Thank you in advance,
I ran into the same issue. One solution is to simply change the format that the datepicker uses:
// in your javascript...
$j(function(){
$j("#mile_date").datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd"
});
});
Rails seems to be able to handle the yy-mm-dd format - I'm using that and am having no issues saving the date to the database. The only issue here is that some might find the yy-mm-dd format a little less good looking than mm/dd/yyyy...
As noted by #BaronVonBraun above rails doesn't seem to handle that format. Changing it as he suggested worked. However, for those wanting a different format than yy-mm-dd you can use the following. The user sees the format you want while rails gets the format it needs.
$j(function(){
$j("#show_date").datepicker({altField: '#mile_date', altFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'});
});
The show_date is the id of the field they see and the mile_date is a hidden field with the date rails needs.
Here is the documentation.
If anyone is using the jquery_datepicker gem , you'll want to use something similar to the following code in your rails view.
<%= form.hidden_field(:ship_date, :id => "ship_date") %>
<%= datepicker_input(:show_date, item.id, :size => 10, altField: "#ship_date", altFormat: 'yy-mm-dd', :value => item.ship_date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y"))%>
You can also use form.datepicker_input to attach the the date picker directly to the form, but in my use case, I wanted the date picker to reflect the localized date, which Rails would not accept. So I added a hidden form element and set the alternate field to it, works perfectly!
Or try the delocalize gem: https://github.com/clemens/delocalize
j('.jquery-calendar').datepicker().each(function(){
// convert dates from db to US format
var $input = j(this)
var found = $input.val().match(/^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})$/);
if(found){
$input.val(found[2]+'/'+found[3]+'/'+found[1]);
}
});
Kinda of hacky but made a helper the set things straight when I know I am giving the server dates in the mm-dd-yy format
def convert_to_y_m_d(date)
new_date = date.split("-")[2] + "-" + date.split("-")[0] + "-" + date.split("-")[1]
new_date
end

I keep getting errors while trying to create blog posts via API calls to BigCommerce, due to the published_date_iso8601 field.
This field expects the date string in this kind of format "5/18/2018 1:26:42 PM", as per the docs here: https://developer.bigcommerce.com/api-reference/1b41aac9b9f54-create-a-blog-post
My data has the dates in this format: "2022-05-12T13:09:23-07:00"
I am using Javascript, and I have tried multiple ways to transform the format, but no success so far.
I have tried built-in JS Date methods
const originalDate = "2022-05-12T13:09:23-07:00"
const newDate = new Date(originalDate).toISOString()
I have tried using Moment
const originalDate = "2022-05-12T13:09:23-07:00"
const newDate = moment(
originalDate
).format('DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss A')
And multiple variations of formatting besides those 2 examples, but I still can't get the post to go through. The error is only a 400 code with no message.
Anyone know how to format this?
Try using the published_date field and new Date('2022-05-12T13:09:23-07:00').toUTCString()?
Hopefully, this should work for you.

having issues to understand the documentation of vuetifys custom-sort in v-data-table
i don't get the customSorters?:
docs can be found here:
v-data-table
i try to use the custom-sort only when the column row is 'updated_at' or 'created_at'
because i have a German date time format when i display the result which comes from a SQL date time format
my column values where the customSort should be used looks like this:
the format is made with moment.js and is 'DD.MM.YYYY - HH:mm:ss'
i now need a way to compare these rows in a sort function simple with array.sort()
this is what i tried for now:
customSort(items, sortBy, sortDesc) {
console.log(sortBy)
if (sortBy.includes('updated_at')) {
items = items.map((e) => e.updated_at)
console.log(items)
items.sort((a, b) => a - b)
}
return items
}
this is not working at all
fixed this with help of this post:
here
instead of formatting the columns when getting them from the api, i use a v-slot and format them inside the table
The problem
I have a Ruby on Rails model with a Date attribute.
In the form for this model, I am using a single text field with a JQuery datepicker to represent this attribute (not a drop down for each of year, month, and day, as is the Rails custom).
The datepicker inserts dates with a mm/dd/yyyy format.
Rails is expecting dates with a dd/mm/yyyy format.
Examples
If a user selects March 12th, 2012, the datepicker puts 03/12/2012, which is interpreted by Rails as December 3rd, 2012.
If a user selects March 20th, 2012, the datepicker puts 03/20/2012, which is interpreted by Rails as the 3rd day of the 20th month of 2012. Since this date doesn't exist, Rails casts this to a nil value (I think).
Question
How do I change the date format Rails uses when parsing this date text field?
Notes:
1) I do not want to change the format of the date the datepicker inserts into the text field,
2) I am not asking about displaying my date attribute in a view.
I initially thought this could be solved through the Rails internationalization features, but it turns out I was wrong.
Ever since Ruby 1.9, the standard format for date parsing is dd/mm/yyyy, so as to better accomodate international users. More details can be found in this SO answer.
That standard is maintained in Rails, as Date.parse is now used to process data from form inputs. Using a before_validation callback won't work because the field is going to be received as nil by the callback method.
Right now there are two gems dealing with this specific issue, namely that date parsing in Rails does not follow the locale settings from I18n.locale. Both seem to work well.
delocalize, by clemens - Seems to have been applied successfully in a decent number or projects and has the highest number of stars at the moment.
i18n_alchemy by carlosantoniodasilva - This one has been released more recently. The author is a Rails core team member, and a very active one at that. Definitely deserves a look.
Since you don't want to change the picker's format, I would suggest you use a hidden field for the actual model property.
For example, add a hidden field for the model's date property, assuming you use a form builder as usual:
f.hidden_field :date
Then for the picker text input, don't bind it to the model's date property. Let's say the hidden field has ID 'modelname_date' and the picker text input has ID 'date_picker', use the following to make it work:
$(function(){
$("#date_picker").datepicker({altField: '#nodelname_date', altFormat: 'dd/mm/yyyy'});
});
In this way the date picker shows the date as 'mm/dd/yyyy' but Rails will see the date as 'dd/mm/yyyy'.
Update:
If you want to work this out on the Rails side, here's another solution I'd suggest:
Add a virtual property to your model: attr_accessor :bad_format_date
Add a before_validation callback in which you parse the input date and assign it to the real field:
before_validation do
self.date = Date.strptime(bad_format_date, "%m/%d/%Y")
end
Then for the form on the view use bad_format_date but initialize it with the date field value (if it's an edit form).
The timeliness gem makes ruby date/time parsing much more customizeable and integrates well with Rails.
Since you're working with Rails, be sure to check out the validates_timeliness project as well by the same guy. It includes all of timeliness plus sophisticated date/time validation methods for ActiveModel.
You could try do something like this.
$(function(){
$('#date_picker').datepicker( {
beforeShowDay: $.datepicker.noWeekends,
showOtherMonths: true,
selectOtherMonths: true,
dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy',
defaultDate: date,
gotoCurrent: true
});
I just add the following monkey patch to config/time_formats.rb
class Date
class << self
alias :euro_parse :_parse
def _parse(str,comp=false)
str = str.to_s.strip
if str == ''
{}
elsif str =~ /^(\d{1,2})[-\/](\d{1,2})[-\/](\d{2,4})/
year,month,day = $3.to_i,$1,$2
date,*rest = str.split(' ')
year += (year < 35 ? 2000 : 1900) if year < 100
euro_parse("#{year}-#{month}-#{day} #{rest.join(' ')}",comp)
else
euro_parse(str,comp)
end
end
end
end
I wanted to get a list of charges(Transactions) based on date range I specify, ie all transactions between my specified Start date and End date.
But in CHARGES API, I can not see any Start date nor End Date arguments.
How can I get this?
Had a chat with Stripe staffs through online chat, and found that there is a way to get list of charges based on date range.
Stripe Charges API actually has some argument that are not yet listed in their documentation.
Arguments like created[lte] and created[gte] with Unix timestamp can be used, just like Events API call.
EG: https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges?created[gte]=1362171974&created[lte]=1362517574
Try this one. It's working for me
$pcharges = Charge::all(
array(
'limit' => 100,
'created' => array(
'gte' => strtotime('-15 day'),
'lte' => strtotime('-1 day')
)
)
);
This will return last 15 days data excluding today's transaction. You can set your custom date range as per your requirement.
Here's a Ruby based hack
Stripe.api_key = ENV['STRIPE_SECRET']
stripe_charges = []
first_charge = Stripe::Charge.all(limit: 1).data[0].id
charge_index = first_charge
*a lot of*.times do
new_charges = Stripe::Charge.all(limit: 100, starting_after: charge_index).data
stripe_charges << new_charges
charge_index = new_charges.last.id
stripe_charges.flatten!
end
Was looking in to it today and here is what i found
https://stripe.com/docs/api/curl#list_charges
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges?limit=3 \
-u sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2:
This is stripes curl example there are more examples on their website.
-James Harrington
In case anyone is using Ruby on Rails and is looking for a solution to list out all refunds that's been created after a Unix timestamp, using the created.gte syntax, here's a working example for me that I got from Stripe Support.
Stripe::Refund.list({limit: 100, created: {gte: 1614045880}})
You can change that Unix timestamp to fit your situation.
Resources: Stripe API Reference, List all refunds and Stripe Support
To get particular date data code is like
$mydata= \Stripe\Charge::all(array('limit'=>50,'starting_after'=>null ,"created" => array("gt" => strtotime("2020-02-17"),"lt" => strtotime("2020-02-19"))));
print_r($mydata);
It will give you data of 2020-02-18 with limit 50, If you want more record add last charge id in starting_after parameter
I am trying to translate my Rails 3 application, read the primer at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html#adding-date-time-formats and subsequently downloaded the corresponding yml file from https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/tree/master/rails/locale (de.yml in my case).
In one of my views I had this code (some_model#index) ...
<td><%= time_ago_in_words(some_model.created_at) %></td>
... which I changed in ...
<td><%=l time_ago_in_words(some_model.created_at) %></td>.
Unfortunately this gives me this error:
Object must be a Date, DateTime or Time object. "etwa ein Monat" given.
Any idea why this fails? The created_at column has been created in the database via standard Rails scaffolding (database is mysql using mysql2 gem).
If I strip the time_ago_in_words helper from the code ...
<td><%=l some_model.created_at %></td>.
... the translation works - but the datetime now is of course too long for my <td>.
I also tried to duplicated the distance_in_words section of the de.yml and rename it to time_ago_in_words but this did not work either.
Am I missing something obvious?
OK, there are 2 different methods in play here :
the l method takes a Date, a Time or a DateTime object and returns a formatted version based on your I18n rules.
the time_ago_words takes the same arguments and uses I18n to spit out a formatted string.
In your example, you're trying to use both! Put simply, all you need is <%= time_ago_in_words(some_model.created_at) %>.
