render option for editor

russlevy

Hi,

Is there a render option for the editor like in datatables to return a different value?

In datatables I use render to return the right date format but then editor doesn't have the render function for when opening the popup.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I did not find a similar function but I had to preformat the data and then also use the setData event to format the data after create or edit

Hi,

No there isn't. Pre-formatting the data, and the post-formatting it, if you need to deformat it, is the way to do it. The reason there isn't a formatter is that it could get quite complex if you need both setter and getter formatters - so Editor always just works with the raw data.

If formatters are required, then a custom plug-in field type could be used that provides its own formatters in the set and get functions.
