In my TypeScript code, I have defined a model class as follows:
export class Season {
ID: number;
Start: Date;
}
Below is an example of how this model class is utilized within a component:
export class SeasonsComponent {
seasons: Season[];
selectedSeason: Season;
constructor(
private configService: ConfigService,
private notificationsService: NotificationsService,
) { }
ngOnInit(): void {
this.selectedSeason = new Season();
this.getSeasons();
}
getSeasons(): void {
this.configService.getSeasons().subscribe(
response => {
this.seasons= response.Data;
// Data: { Id: 1, Start: '2018-01-01T00:00:00' }
},
error => {
this.notificationsService.show("error", error.error.error, error.error.error_description);
}
);
}
selectSeason(season: Season): void {
this.selectedSeason = season;
}
}
This component also includes the following template:
<p-dataList [value]="seasons">
<ng-template let-season pTemplate="item">
<div class="ui-g ui-fluid text-capitalize item-list" (click)="selectSeason(season)"
[class.selected]="season === selectedSeason">
<div class="ui-md-3 text-center">
<div class="pt-4"><h5>{{ season.ID }}</h5></div>
</div>
<div class="ui-g-12 ui-md-9">
<div class="ui-g">
<div class="ui-g-2 ui-sm-6">Start: </div>
<div class="ui-g-10 ui-sm-6">{{ season.Start | date: 'MMM d' }}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</ng-template>
</p-dataList>
<form class="bg-white p-4" *ngIf="selectedSeason">
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group col">
<label>Start</label>
<p-calendar name="startDate" [required]="true"
[ngModel]="selectedSeason?.Start"
[inline]="true"
[style]="{'max-width': '85%'}">
</p-calendar>
</div>
</div>
</form>
However, I am facing challenges because the value assigned to the Start property in the model class is a string rather than a Date object required by a specific component's ngModel.
If I try to convert the string to a Date object using the line:
this.selectedSeason.Start = new Date(this.selectedSeason.Start);
I notice that the type changes to 'object' when checked with:
console.log(typeof this.selectedSeason.Start); // object
I am unsure whether this issue arises from incomplete instantiation of the class or another factor related to types. Any insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
