Date field

DateFieldDefinition renders a calendar that allows the user to select a date and optionally a time.

This date field definition is part of the Magnolia 6 UI framework. The fully qualified class name is info.magnolia.ui.field.DateFieldDefinition.

If you work with the Magnolia 5 UI framework, see Date field for Magnolia 5 UI instead.

Example date field definition

date:
  label: Date
  $type: dateField
  type: java.util.Date
  time: true

`dateFormat`	optional, default is `yyyy-MM-dd` Format in which the date is displayed to users. See the `SimpleDateFormat` class for allowed patterns. Examples: dateFormat: yyyy-MM-dd # 2017-10-31 dateFormat: yyyy-MMMM-dd # 2017-October-31 dateFormat: EEE, MMM d, yyyy # Tue, Oct 31, 2017
`defaultValue`	optional, default is `now` Set to a specific date and time such as `"2017-10-31"` or use `now` for the current date and time on the host server. Magnolia stores dates and times using server time. The stored dates and times are converted and displayed to users in their preferred time zone. The default value applies only to new content items, not to those that have already been created. Enclose the property value in quotes when using YAML: defaultValue: "2017-10-31" defaultValue: "2017-10-31 15:09" If you define the `dateFormat` or `timeFormat` properties, provide `defaultValue` using the same formats: dateFormat: MM/dd/yyyy timeFormat: h:mm a defaultValue: "10/31/2017 3:09 PM"
`time`	optional, default is `false` Enables time selection. Renders dropdown lists at the bottom of the calendar.
`timeFormat`	optional, default is `HH:mm` Format in which the time is displayed to users. See the `SimpleDateFormat` class for allowed patterns. Examples: timeFormat: HH:mm # 15:09 timeFormat: h:mm a # 3:09 PM
