I am displaying my data like this.. Can someone suggest a way to display the last date as February 02,2023
using serializer?
"category": {
"data": {
"id": "81",
"attributes": {
"id": 81,
"name": "ggg",
"last_date": "2023-02-22",
"created_at": "2023-02-15T13:01:53.341+05:30",
"updated_at": "2023-02-15T13:01:53.341+05:30",
}
}
}
I have tried adding below in my serializer.. but it is not working
attribute :last_date do |object|
object.last_date&.to_s(:date)
end
>Solution :
I would use strftime
like this:
attribute :last_date do |object|
object.last_date&.strftime('%B %e, %Y')
end
When you use the same format at other places in your application too, then you might want to give it a proper name in
# config/initializers/time_formats.rb
Time::DATE_FORMATS[:us_date_format] = '%B %e, %Y'
Which would allow you to use this format with to_fs
like this in your app:
attribute :last_date do |object|
object.last_date&.to_fs(:us_date_format)
end
