[SOLVED: added new functionality] datebox getValue as Date object

[Coder]

How  get current value from datebox as Date object ?

my formatter is dateFormat(aDate,"dd mmm HH:MM")
and .datebox('getValue') return string in this format ;(

[jarry]

Please call this code to convert a string to a Date object.

Code:

var db = $('#db');
var opts = db.datebox('options');
var s = db.datebox('getValue');
var d = opts.parser.call(db[0],s);
console.log(d)

Thnx for Your reply, but:

I use my parser for decode mySQL datetime format

Code:

  function parseMySQLdate(aDate){
	var matches = aDate.match(/^\s*(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})\s*$/)
	, lDate = new Date()
	;

	if(matches){
		var Y = parseInt(matches[1],10)
		,   M = parseInt(matches[2],10) - 1
		,   D = parseInt(matches[3],10)
		,   H = parseInt(matches[4],10)
		,   N = parseInt(matches[5],10)
		,   S = parseInt(matches[6],10)
		;
            lDate.setDate(D);    
            lDate.setMonth(M);    
            lDate.setFullYear(Y);    
	    lDate.setHours(H);
	    lDate.setMinutes(N);
	    lDate.setSeconds(S);

	}

	return lDate;
}

so it`s not suitable for...
and  db.datebox('getValue'); return string without year (because my formatter is dateFormat(aDate,"dd mmm HH:MM") )

is there a possibility to store date as Date object in date[time]box inside formatter or inside ('setValue')
and get it as Date object from ('getValue') ?

OR maybe add
 .datetimebox('getDate')
 .datetimebox('setDate',DateObject) ?

This is the extended method 'getDate'.

Code:

$.extend($.fn.datebox.methods, {
	getDate: function(jq){
		var opts = jq.datebox('options');
		var s = jq.datebox('getValue');
		var d = opts.parser.call(jq[0],s);
		return d;
	}
})

Thnx for reply, and very interesting code

but:

Code:

$('#db').datebox('setValue','2010-11-01 12:30:00')
var d = $('#db').datebox('getDate');
alert(d.toString());

result is Mon Jun 11 2187 00:00:00

if I change parser for mySQL date parse then it didnt work for "dd mmm HH:MM" format. solve for this is use another parserFunction inside getDate method BUT information about year is lost.

Does it exist access to datebox object from inside formatter? For example for set $(datebox).prop('Date',date)
and extract it from getDate method ( return jq.datebox.prop('Date') ) ?

This is the extended 'setDate' and 'getDate' methods.

Code:

$.extend($.fn.datebox.methods, {
	setDate: function(jq, date){
		return jq.each(function(){
			var opts = $(this).datebox('options');
			var value = opts.formatter.call(this, date);
			opts.currDate = date;
			$(this).datebox('setValue', value);
		})
	},
	getDate: function(jq){
		var opts = jq.datebox('options');
		if (opts.currDate){
			return opts.currDate
		}
		var s = jq.datebox('getValue');
		var d = opts.parser.call(jq[0],s);
		return d;
	}
})

thnx for road...

may be last question about datebox in this thread ^)
