Question

Grails: How to get dates in g:textField from calendar?

Answer 1

A:

I'm not quite sure I understand what your problem was with the YUI Plugin and date formatting. If you expand on that we might be able to help.

I would, however, recommend using the GrailsUI plugin which depends on the YUI plugin.

Install

grails install-plugin grails-ui

View

In your view make sure you include the appropriate components in your head section e.g.:

<head>
  ...
  <gui:resources components="datePicker"/>
  ...
</head>

Also change the <body> tag to <body class="yui-skin-sam"> if you want the default styles (skin) to apply.

Then you should be able to use:

<gui:datePicker id="myDateValue" value="${new Date()}" />

or if you want to set the format of the date:

<gui:datePicker id="myDateValue" formatString="yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss" value="${new Date()}" />

Controller

When using the value from a datePicker in the controller, it should be treated as a string i.e.

Date.parse("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss", params.myDateValue)

The thing is that I need the date in format ddMMMyy (13JUL10) and I tried doing it with Grails UI but they don't have that format :/ then I did some research in Google and YUI 2 has it. But I'm not sure how to implement YUI 2 with Grails :/ or a jscalendar that is triggered whenever a click an image next to the `g:textField` and puts the clicked date in the `g:textField` would do the job too, but I don't know how to do it
