Re: [Dev] [UUF] Convert a timestamp in long format to readable format in HBS.

[Manuranga Perera]

Hi Hemika,

Converting from long to string should happen on client side. Otherwise we
will display times in server time zone, which is not useful. You should
always record time in long UTC and send to the client in long. UTC to
current time-zone conversion should happen at client as follows.

var d = new Date(132433920);

Additionally if the time is close to the current date you can show the
difference for better UX [1]

 I don't believe we should have app specific custom helpers, it makes
 code hard to understand for someone who is not from that team. I believe we
 should use the 'toViewModel' function to do any rendering specific
 conversions. But if there are helpers that is used platform-wide they
 should be implemented/imported by UUF team.

Hi Hemika,

I have a list of java objects that I am returning from the server side JS

I think this is not specific to the UUF. Even when you are using JSPs you
have to convert your data model into view model. You may also need to
prettify data fields such as capitalising first letter etc.

Is it the correct way to do ?

I think you need to retrieve the list/map from the backend(data model) and
iterate through the fields. When iterating If it is a map, you can make
changes and store back in the same map and return it(view model) into the
HBS context.

Rasika

Re: [Dev] [UUF] Convert a timestamp in long format to readable format in HBS.

[Hemika Kodikara]

Hi Rasika,

I have a list of java objects that I am returning from the server side JS
where the object has a timestamp property in long format(milliseconds), in
that case I will have to iterate the list and get the timestamp of each
object and store them in another list/map and return that separately.

Is it the correct way to do ?

Hemika

​We did not expose handlebar environment into the controller(serversideJs).
Thus, I don't think App developers can register their handlebar
custom-helpers into ​HBS.

You can process the timestamp in long format to readable format in js side
> and return that to display in hbs.

​+1. ​This is the recommended approach.

Yeah, there is a way to write custom helpers in HBS and we can use it by
registering the helper in HBS.

Re: [Dev] [UUF] Convert a timestamp in long format to readable format in HBS.

[Sudharma Subasinghe]

Hi Hemika,

You can process the timestamp in long format to readable format in js side
and return that to display in hbs.

Thanks
