How to format date values received in JSON data through ajax post
1 min read
Problem
The date column value is obtained in the format “\ /Date(628318530718)\/”.
Cause
The date column value is not formatted when it is retrieved from the server via AJAX post.
Solution
The unformatted JSON date value can be formatted by ej.data.DataUtil.parse.parseJSON function in the AJAX success event.
function getDataSource() {
var grid = document.getElementsByClassName("e-grid")[0].ej2_instances[0];
// Grid instance
var ajax = new ej.base.Ajax('/Home/UrlDatasource', 'POST');
ajax.send();
ajax.onSuccess = function (data) {
grid.dataSource = ej.data.DataUtil.parse.parseJson(data); //parse using DataUtil.parse.parseJson method
};
}
