Changing the generated time

[Lim Samantha]

[Illya Stepanov]

Hi Lim,

This is the generated time stamp from DB service, which way you want to change it?

[Lim Samantha]

Maybe it can be in 12 hours without generating the seconds? like those weird decimals behind it.

Hello Lim,

Appery.io DB always saves date time, you may not display the time, for example like this:
You can add this JS on the mapping of the label that displays the date:

codevar d = new Date(value),
minutes = d.getMinutes().toString().length == 1 ? '0'+d.getMinutes() : d.getMinutes(),
hours = d.getHours().toString().length == 1 ? '0'+d.getHours() : d.getHours(),
ampm = d.getHours() >= 12 ? 'pm' : 'am',
months = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'],
days = ['Sun','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat'];
return days[d.getDay()]+' '+months[d.getMonth()]+' '+d.getDate()+' '+d.getFullYear()+' '+hours+':'+minutes+ampm;/code

Hi, have tried your codes. But still doesn't work.
Mapping of the label as in just click on events and add in the code when i run JS right?

Hi Lim,

You need add this code to "Add JS" in your mapping where you link the date field to label.

See details: http://prntscr.com/40i215/direct

Also don't forget to delete this code from current place.

Regards.

Hi Lim,

If you want to add current date use:prevar d = new Date()/preInstead of:prevar d = new Date(value)/pre
