Parsing Function Library

Wijmo provides a parsing function library that allows you to use string parsing functions outside of the input widgets, so that you can have matching input and output routines. Wijmo provides two types of parsing functions: Date and Number. Each function has a value parameter, plus other optional parameters. See each type below for further details.

Date Parsing

Date parsing takes three parameters. Only the value parameter is required. If the value cannot be parsed with the specified parameters, the function returns null.

Date $.wijinputcore.parseDate(string value, string format, string culture);

Parameter Name	Type	Description
value	string	The value to format.
format	string	The formatting string to use in parsing the date. Default value: d For the full list of supported format keywords, see Date Format Keywords.
culture	string	The culture to use in parsing the date.

Examples

$.wijinputcore.parseDate("9/12/2013"); //returns: new Date(2013,8,12) $.wijinputcore.parseDate("2013/09/12", "yyyy/MM/dd", "ja-JP"); //returns: new Date(2013,8,12) $.wijinputcore.parseDate("午後 11:22:33", "tt hh:mm:ss", "ja-JP"); //returns: new Date(new Date().getFullYear(),0,1,23,22,33) $.wijinputcore.parseDate("00:12:12", "HH:mm:ss", "ja-JP"); //returns: new Date(new Date().getFullYear(),0,1,0,12,12)

 //returns: new Date(2013,8,12)
$.wijinputcore.parseDate("午後 11:22:33", "tt hh:mm:ss", "ja-JP");  
 //returns: new Date(new Date().getFullYear(),0,1,23,22,33)
$.wijinputcore.parseDate("00:12:12", "HH:mm:ss", "ja-JP");  
 //returns: new Date(new Date().getFullYear(),0,1,0,12,12)

Number Parsing

Number parsing takes two parameters. Only the value parameter is required. If the value cannot be parsed with the specified parameters, the function returns null.

Number $.wijinputcore.parseNumber(string value, string culture);

Parameter Name	Type	Description
value	string	The value to format.
culture	string	The culture to use in parsing the number.

Examples

Number Parsing Examples	Copy Code
$.wijinputcore.parseNumber("12,345.00"); //returns: 12345 $.wijinputcore.parseNumber("12.345,00","de-DE"); //returns: 12345 $.wijinputcore.parseNumber("45.00 %"); //returns: 0.45 $.wijinputcore.parseNumber("$12345.67"); //returns: 12345.67

Number Parsing Examples

$.wijinputcore.parseNumber("12,345.00");  
 //returns: 12345
$.wijinputcore.parseNumber("12.345,00","de-DE");  
 //returns: 12345
$.wijinputcore.parseNumber("45.00 %");  
 //returns: 0.45
$.wijinputcore.parseNumber("$12345.67");  
 //returns: 12345.67
