Dates Are Formatted As Strings in the Grid

Environment

ProductProgress® Kendo UI® for Angular Grid

Description

Even though I apply a format to the dates in the Grid, the dates are not rendered correctly.

Cause

When the Grid data contains dates, they have to be instances of the JavaScript Date object. This ensures that dates are formatted properly as dates and not as strings.

Solution

If the remote server returns serialized data or the data contains string representations of dates, map the data so that each "date" property has a Date JavaScript object as a value.

ts
protected fetch(tableName: string, state: any): Observable<GridDataResult> {
       const queryStr = `${toODataString(state)}&$count=true`;

       return this.http
           .get(`${this.BASE_URL}${tableName}?${queryStr}`)
           .pipe(
               map(response => (<GridDataResult>{
                   data: response['value'].map(item => {
                       item.dateField = new Date(item.dateField);
                       return item;
                   }),
                   total: parseInt(response['@odata.count'], 10)
               }))
           );
   }
