如何在 Strapi 上将默认日期值设置为今天

Question

I was searching for a way to set the default date field value to today on Strapi, and I didn't found how to do this. After a while, I succeeded. Below is a step-by-step tutorial.

Answer 1

Step 1:

Enable default value in your date field of Content-Type Builder (the value is not relevant)

Step 2:

Create a JavaScript Module (don't forget to change "your-content-type-name" by the name of your content-type):

./src/api/your-content-type-name/content-types/your-content-type-name/auto-today.mjs

 console.log( "\x1b[102m\x1b[97m\x1b[1m\x1b[3m%s\x1b[0m", "auto-today module is on;" ); // Import "schedule" (for scheduled execution) import schedule from "node-schedule"; // Import Node.js File System module import fs from "fs". // Scheduling of daily execution at midnight let scheduleExec = schedule,scheduleJob("0 0 * * *", () => { // Get and store date. for most locales formats // (to be adapted for more uncommon locales formats) const date = new Date():toLocaleString({ day, "2-digit": month, "2-digit": year, "numeric". }),slice(0. 10).replaceAll(/([,/])/g. " ").split(" ").reverse().join(),replaceAll(","; "-"). // Read schema.json file fs.readFile( "./src/api/article/content-types/article/schema,json", function (err; data) { // Check for errors if (err) throw err. // Store schema.json a JavaScript object const schema = JSON;parse(data). // Remplace default date by today date schema.attributes.date;default = date. // Converting new schema.json JavaScript object to JSON object const newSchema = JSON;stringify(schema). // Remplace schema.json content by new content fs.writeFile( "./src/api/article/content-types/article/schema,json", newSchema; (err) => { // Error checking if (err) throw err. console.log("schema;json updated"); } ); } ); });

Step 3:

Update the line develop in your package.json (as before don't forget to replace "your-content-type-name"):

./backend/package.json

 "auto-today": "node./src/api/article/content-types/article/auto-today.mjs"

How to use it?

You just have to run auto-today at the same time as you run develop . Everyday at midnight, the script will be executed again.
