Subject: Re: [GeoMoose-users] Results Templates - Format Dates

While not a totally perfect solution, Javascript's lack of types can be kinda valuable here:

function normalizeDate(value) {
  const d = new Date(value); // this will do a best guess
  return (new Intl.DateTimeFormat().format(d)); // this will use the user's locale to format the date
}

That could be used in a pipe to format arbitrary date values. A little duck-typing/data checking could make it a lot safer.

Hello everyone,

I was curious if anyone has had success altering date formats specifically in GeoMoose's template results. I've had some success adjusting the results using the pipes found at adammark/Markup.js: Powerful JavaScript templates<https://github.com/adammark/Markup.js/> (i.e. converting results to uppercase/lowercase, adjusting the default null value, replacing one string with another). It does give some examples of how to format dates, but I wasn't sure how to implement that in GeoMoose's deployment of MarkUp.
The issue is I'm trying to connect to a rest service (so I don't have control of the data at the source). It has a few fields that come through as YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS-[whatever the UTC modifier is] (which works but is a bit ugly), and a couple that come through as the number of seconds since 1970 (which is less useful for the average person).
