Kendo Date Picker and Luxon: Special luxon-adapter for the Kendo DatePicker?

[Tobias]

Is it possible to bind the kendo angular date controls directly against a luxon date object?

I tried the following:

A direct binding results in a compile error:

    <kendo-label text="Luxon Date">

                <kendo-datepicker  [value]="luxonDate"

                  placeholder="Choose a date ..."

                ></kendo-datepicker>

              </kendo-label>

Error in src/app/app.component.ts (28:37)

Type 'DateTime' is missing the following properties from type 'Date': toDateString, toTimeString, toLocaleDateString, toLocaleTimeString, and 36 more.

 

A binding against a Javascript date, on the other hand, works

 <kendo-label text="JSDate">

                <kendo-datepicker  [value]="date"

                  placeholder="Choose a date ..."

                ></kendo-datepicker>

              </kendo-label>

 

Is there also a special adapter for the Kendo DatePicker like for Angular Material Date Components (@angular/material-luxon-adapter)?

Hi Tobias,

Thank you for the details and code snippets provided.

Indeed, the Kendo UI for Angular components currently do not support handling luxon.js or moment.js values directly. In general, all date-related Kendo components work with valid JavaScript Date objects, and any further processing of the dates like converting them to one of the possible string formats for sending it to a server, storing it in a database, etc., is left in the hands of the developer to implement as per the application's requirements.

On that note, the good news is that there is a feature request in our Feedback Portal regarding introducing official support for moment.js:

Feel free to upvote the above-linked item since we periodically monitor the customer demand for the logged features and consider their future implementation based on the increasing public interest. You can also follow the feature request to stay notified of any updates on this matter.

I hope the provided information sheds some light on the matter.
