I'm currently developing an AngularJS 1.6 app that integrates with the Giphy.com API.
One of the key features is displaying an "import date" that comes directly from the API as import_datetime, which is unique to each item.
In my attempt to make the date more user-friendly, I used the following code snippet:
<p class="m-0 meta">{{giphy.import_datetime | date : "dd.MM.y" }}</p>
However, this approach did not yield the desired result.
The controller in question contains the following code:
app.controller("giphyCtrl", ["$scope", "$http", "$filter", "$timeout", function($scope, $http, $filter, $timeout) {
var url = "https://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/trending?api_key=PTZrBlrq8h2KUsRMeBuExZ5nHyn7dzS0&limit=240&rating=G";
$scope.giphyList = [];
$scope.search = "";
// More controller logic here
}]);
It seems like a better approach would be to fetch import_datetime from the view, convert it into a JavaScript Date object, and then utilize it within the view.
Queries:
- How can I achieve this conversion effectively?
- Are there any alternative methods you would recommend?
