Variabile Formatting in Column Template

[Daniele]

Hello,

Is there a way to apply a format to a variable in a column template (using the new syntax?)

I tried to check the documentation for the template engine but I was not able to use any customHelper function, also looks like too tricky for a simple task like formatting a variable.

Also found this under MVC EJ2 but looks like something for MVC EJ1.

Thank you for your help,

Daniele

Hi Daniele, 

Thanks for using Syncfusion support. 

We have achieved your requirement “Applying a Date format for template column in Grid”using Custom Helper function. Please refer to the following code example, Help documentation, 

Code example: 

 <Grid> 

 @Html.EJS().Grid("CommandColumn").DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.dataSource).Columns(col => 

       { 

 

           .   .  . 

           col.Field("OrderDate").HeaderText("Template Column").Width("150").Template("${getDateFormat(data.OrderDate)}").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Add(); 

.   .  . 

 

       }).AllowPaging().PageSettings(page => page.PageCount(5)).Render() 

 

[helper function] 

<script> 

    function getDateFormat(OrderDate) { 

        var intl = new ej.base.Internationalization(); 

        var formattedDate = intl.formatDate(OrderDate, { format: 'dd/MM/yyyy' });//format the Date value 

        return formattedDate; //return the formatted date 

    } 

     

</script>
