Using momentJS in datatables.

utkant

Hi!

How would I use momentJS in datatables?

Say I have a column with a momentJS object and I want to update that column so that it showed me the correct information in the browser. How would I do that?

And as a followup. How would I update this if I wanted to change the format of the output from the momentJs object?

I managed to get this working by using the render function in the aColumnDefs setting. This now works beautifully. But I have one issue. If I want that function to be rerun on or before a draw on the table so that I can switch the format of the output how would that be done?

"aoColumnDefs": [
    {
        "aTargets": dates,
        "render": function (data, type, row) {
            data = moment(data);
            return $filter("csDate")(data);
        }
    }
],

How would I go about to get the render function rerun during a call to the draw() function

You would need to invalidate the row (row().invalidate()) to have the data refreshed.

Thanks Allan.

If you want all rows you can use rows().invalidate(). Just a tips for everyone else who needs this.
