Datetime issue
I am facing in issue with appwrite when I store datetime type from front end and the backend side is Daytime type it gives error. When I have attribute with integer type it gives an error also with Datetime.now() #馃梻鈹俿upport #support @Eldad @Aditya Oberai
TL;DR
The user is facing an issue with storing datetime types in Appwrite. When using the DateTime.now() method, it gives an error. The solution is to use the DateFormat library to format the date and time into an ISO string before storing it in Appwrite.
Hi, thank you for your question. Date.now() is unix timestamp - seconds/milliseconds since specific date. What datetime attribute needs is ISO string of date.
TypeScript
var now = new DateTime.now();
var dateFormatted = DateFormat("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss").format(now);
then you use dateFormatted as value for DateTime attribute in Appwrite, and it should work.
