Description
Changes
We need some changes to the <tc:date> component.
- Implement "more like HTML"
- No longer use for <f:convertDateTime> - (Todo/TBD: support for this converter might be possible in some cases)
Explanation
The input of date and time is nomally supported by the browser (for quite all browsers, even for mobile devices) or as an alternative as JavaScript widget.
So, the value "on the wire" will be a machine readable ISO format, not a localized value. The localization will happen in the browser. This is defined in the specification of input type="date" etc.
Exclusion
For <tc:in> the <f:dateTimeConverter> should work, but without widget support.
Type
There will be an attribute "type" = { "date" | "time" | "datetime-local" | "month" | "week" }
| class of value | converter | type | pattern | html |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| java.util.Date | <auto> | <input type="datetime-local"> | ||
| java.time.LocalDate | <auto> | <input type="date"> | ||
| ... |
(Month and week may be supported in later versions)
Browser vs Widget
Most browsers these days supporting the types "date" and "time". Firefox doesn't support "datetime-local". So, it might be a solution, to use only browser featues. In case of Firefox with "datetime-local", the field may be splitted into 2 fields with type "date" and "time".
If everything works fine, we may drop TOBAGO-2036.
