如何在PlayFramework中将日期值传递给@inputText

Question

I want to create a form where by default when form is loaded it will set current date in format "dd.MM.yyyy" I tried to insert it via value in @inputText but it is not working:

@inputText(
                postForm("postedAt"),
                'value->(new Date().format("dd.mm.yyyy")) ,
                'type->"date",
                '_label->"Date",
                '_showConstraints->false,
                'class -> "form-control",
                'required -> "required")

Still input value is not showing current date:

Any idea how to pass the data display it in @inputText ?

Answer 1

How about using a date field as documented here ? For ex. in your form definition, you could bind the postedAt field as:

Form( ...
  "postedAt" -> date("dd.MM.yyyy")
  ...
)

Then fill the postedAt field in the form with new Date() in your Action and then, in your template, display its value like

@inputText(postForm("postedAt"),
   'type -> "date",
   '_label -> "Date",
   '_showConstraints -> false,
   'class -> "form-control",
   'required -> "required")

I haven't tested this code, but it should work as advertised.
