Hi,

We are currently displaying and formatting times in the Grid as follows:

                    {
                            field: 'DateFrom',
                            headerText: 'Date From',
                            editType: 'datetimepickeredit',
                            format: { type: 'dateTime', format: 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss' },
                            validationRules: { required: true },
                            defaultValue: new Date(),
                            allowEditing: false,
                            width: 125

                        },

However, the backend system records and reports all dateTime as UTC as time may be recorded from multiple time zones. 

I want to be able to display the DateTime in the Grid in Local Time, not the UTC.

How can specify the cell to convert the datetime returned in UTC to display in local time?

Thanks

Craig

Hi Craig, 

Thanks for contacting us. 

You can achieve your requirement by using serverTimezoneOffset property of the DataUtil class as the below way. 

Please find the below code example and sample for more information. 

Index.ts 
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base'; 
enableRipple(true); 

import { Grid, Selection } from '@syncfusion/ej2-grids'; 
import { Query, DataManager,DataUtil } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data'; 
import { orderData } from './data-source';  
Grid.Inject(Selection); 

/** 
* Default Grid sample 
*/ 

DataUtil.serverTimezoneOffset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset()/60;    
 let data: Object = new DataManager(orderData as JSON[]).executeLocal(new Query().take(15)); 
    let grid: Grid = new Grid( 
        { 
            dataSource: data, 
            columns: [ 
                { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', width: 120, textAlign: 'Right' }, 
                { field: 'CustomerName', headerText: 'Customer Name', width: 150 }, 
                { field: 'OrderDate', headerText: 'Order Date', width: 130,  format: { type: 'dateTime', format: 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss' }, textAlign: 'Right' }, 
                { field: 'Freight', width: 120, format: 'C2', textAlign: 'Right' } 
            ] 
        }); 
    grid.appendTo('#Grid'); 



Please get back to us, if you need further assistance. 


Regards, 
Manivel

Hi,

The code example given makes no difference. 

See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq8ES_gOq5I - Here I am changing the offset but the times remain the same

Please advise?

Craig

Hi Craig, 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

The serverTimezoneOffset  property will work only for remote data. Please find the below modified sample in which grid dataSource has been consumed from remote server. In that sample you can change the serverTimeZoneOffset  and see the difference.  

Index.ts 

DataUtil.serverTimezoneOffset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset()/60;     
    let hostUrl: string = 'https://ej2services.syncfusion.com/production/web-services/'; 
    let data: Object = new DataManager({ 
        url: hostUrl + 'api/Orders', 
        adaptor: new WebApiAdaptor , 
        crossDomain: true 
    }); 
    let grid: Grid = new Grid( 
        { 
            dataSource: data, 
            allowPaging: true, 
            columns: [ 
                { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', width: 130, textAlign: 'Right' }, 
                { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 170 }, 
                   { field: 'OrderDate', headerText: 'Order Date', width: 130,  format: { type: 'dateTime', format: 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss' }, textAlign: 'Right' },  
                { field: 'Freight', headerText: 'Freight', width: 160, textAlign: 'Right', format: 'C2' }, 
                { field: 'ShipCountry', headerText: 'Ship Country', width: 150, textAlign: 'Center' }, 
            ], 
            pageSettings: { pageCount: 3 } 
        }); 
    grid.appendTo('#Grid'); 



Please get back to us, if you need further assistance.
