Disable receiving DateTime in UTC from Client for a specific property #8963

How can I receive a DateTime from the client exactly what the user choose without changing clock provider.

when the user choose a specific time, the server will receive it as UTC. I need to disable this behavior for a specific property, while keeping everything working as normal. I need to know exactly the selected time by the user.

Current behavior: Startup.cs - ClockProviders.Utc Client - 10:00 +3 Server - 07:00 +0

Trying to do: Startup.cs - ClockProviders.Utc Client - 10:00 +3 Server - 10:00 +3

    You take a look and try Disable DateTime Normalization.

    I tried it and it didn't work as expected, it kept the same behaviour. after some more investigation, it works only if it on a parameter directly, but it does not work if it was on a DTO property.

    is there something i can try to make it work on a DTO property?

    ` public async void TestDate([DisableDateTimeNormalization]DateTime datetime){} // this works

    public class SomeDto { [DisableDateTimeNormalization] public DateTime datetime {get; set;} } public async void TestDate(SomeDto dto){} // this does not work `

    Hi,

    This is what the class looks like, please let me know if there's something specific you need to know.

    public class SomeDto {
        [Required]
        [DisableDateTimeNormalization]
        public DateTime DateTime {get; set;}
    }
    
    public abstract class BaseDDDApplicationService : ApplicationService, IApplicationService {
    }
    
    public interface IBookingAppService : IApplicationService {
        Task TestDate(SomeDto dto);
    }
    
    public class BookingAppService : BaseDDDApplicationService, IBookingAppService {
        public async Task TestDate(SomeDto dto){
            // do stuff
        }
    }

    hi @alwefaq

    What is the version of your abp package?

    If you are using service-proxies.ts please share the ts code of the TestDate method in it.

    abp package version is 5.5

    service-proxies.ts

        /**

    Hi, I got a the latest demo for testing and it worked fine, but for some reason adding the changes to my project didn't fix the issue. please note that the angular version from the demo is Angular CLI: 9.1.0 Node: 12.13.0 OS: win32 x64 Angular: 9.1.0

    and for my project is: Angular CLI: 6.2.3 Node: 12.13.0 OS: win32 x64 Angular: 6.1.7

    The changes as below:

    // AppPreBootstrap private static getUserConfiguration(callback: () => void): any { //... AppPreBootstrap.configureMoment(); //... }

    private static configureMoment() { moment.locale(new LocaleMappingService().map('moment', abp.localization.currentLanguage.name)); (window as any).moment.locale(new LocaleMappingService().map('moment', abp.localization.currentLanguage.name)); if (abp.clock.provider.supportsMultipleTimezone) { moment.tz.setDefault(abp.timing.timeZoneInfo.iana.timeZoneId); (window as any).moment.tz.setDefault(abp.timing.timeZoneInfo.iana.timeZoneId); } else { moment.fn.toJSON = function () { return this.locale('en').format(); }; moment.fn.toISOString = function () { return this.locale('en').format(); }; } }

    // add LocaleMappingService import { AppConsts } from '@shared/AppConsts'; import * as _ from 'lodash';

    export class LocaleMappingService { map(mappingSource: string, locale: string): string { if (!AppConsts.localeMappings && !AppConsts.localeMappings[mappingSource]) { return locale; }

    const localeMappings = _.filter(AppConsts.localeMappings[mappingSource], { from: locale }); if (localeMappings && localeMappings.length) { return localeMappings[0]['to']; }

    return locale; } }

    Hi @alwefaq

    Can you try below statement instead ?

    Date.prototype.toISOString = function () {
    	return moment(this).locale('en').format();
    };

    Hi @alwefaq

    I couldn't reproduce your problem. Here is what I did;

    1. Set Clock.Provider = ClockProviders.Utc; in PreInitialize of my web module.
    2. Define a datetime field in my Dto like below;
    [DisableDateTimeNormalization]
    public DateTime MyDate {get; set;}
    
    1. Send a date to server as below;

    2020-06-01T10:33:10+03:00

    Then, I get the correct value on server side.

    Could you share the date string you are sending to server ?

    Thanks,
