Hi there, in the tracker ticket, there is a comment at the bottom showing some use cases:

formattedLocalDate

<label value="@load(item.date) @converter('formattedLocalDate', format='yyyy/MM/dd')"/>

formattedLocalTime

<label value="@load(item.time) @converter('formattedLocalTime', format='HH:mm:ss')"/>

formattedLocalDateTime

<label value="@load(item.temporal) @converter('formattedLocalDateTime', format='yyyy/MM/dd a KK:mm:ss')"/>

There are also specific getters on the datebox for java.time based formats: For a java.time.LocalDateTime, you can use

org.zkoss.zul.impl.DateTimeFormatInputElement.getValueInLocalDateTime()

etc.

Is that what you are looking for? or do you have another use case in mind?

Hi there,

The use cases I posted above transform a time into a string for use in a display component like a label which accepts a string.

If you want to use Datebox#setValue, you need to pass a Date object, or convert to a Date object.

See here for a in-viewmodel converter: https://zkfiddle.org/sample/3n5fqa4/1-datebox-converter

but you can also make your own global converter and reference that

here's the doc for converters: http://books.zkoss.org/zk-mvvm-book/8.0/data_binding/converter.html
