set formatPlaceholder in datepicker to null or empty

[jan]

Hi,

I read about the formatPlaceholder option in the docs, but I can't find any options, whether we can set this value to null or an empty string. Currently my column filter is configured like this:

<kendo-grid-column field="year" title="Év" format="yyyy">
      <ng-template kendoGridFilterCellTemplate let-filter let-column="column">
        <kendo-grid-date-filter-cell
          [showOperators]="false"
          [column]="column"
          [filter]="filter"
          activeView="decade"
          bottomView="decade"
          format="yyyy"
          [formatPlaceholder]="{
            year: '',
            month: '',
            day: '',
            hour: '',
            minute: '',
            second: ''
          }"
        >
        </kendo-grid-date-filter-cell>
      </ng-template>
    </kendo-grid-column>

As you see, I tried to set the placeholder to nothing, but no success, I get this:

How can I get rid of the 'year' text?

Thanks.

Hi Jan,

By assigning an empty string or null value to the year, the formatPlaceholder will show the default text i.e. 'year'. To remove the text 'year' from the formatPlaceholder, set it's value to a space. For example:

<kendo-grid-date-filter-cell
  [formatPlaceholder]="{year: ' '}"
>
</kendo-grid-date-filter-cell>

In this StackBlitz example, there is no placeholder in the DateFilterCellComponent of the Kendo UI Grid.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can further assist you.
