DateTime in database and client #4862

mika created 6 years ago

I try to get DateTime from client, send it to database and then edit same datetime. I use the demo datetimepicker and get the date and post it to backend.

Here are the post parameters: post_parameters.PNG eventDate is the datetime object and i wrote on eventText what I set on datetimepicker. So here, I set the time to 8:30 (GMT +2) and eventDate shows that date in UTC format. Everything ok.

These values are saved to database and model is full auditet entity so there is also creation time: database.PNG

There EventDate is saved as UTC format.

Question 1:

<ins>Why CreationTime is not UTC?</ins> I made the post 8.30 on local time (GMT+2).

Now I Get the date and here is result from backend: get_response.PNG

Again event date is UTC, but there is nothing to clarify that this is UTC time? Question 2:

What I should do at client end to set it as UTC time?

This is the input field I use.

<input class="form-control" #EditEventTimeInput name="EditEventTimeInput"
                               type="datetime" formControlName="eventDate">

Form creation, input initial value set.

eventDate: this.originalHistory.eventDate.format('L LT'),

after this form initialization, I set the datetime locale and format as demo site shows

$(this.eventTime.nativeElement).datetimepicker({
            locale: abp.localization.currentLanguage.name,
            format: 'L LT'
        });

Now when date is set on input it shows 03/16/2018 6:30 AM, so it shows UTC format, or it is not converted to local time.
