parse_exact_format

defines whether scheduler automatically identifies the format of data

Example

scheduler.config.parse_exact_format = true;
var parseDate = scheduler.date.str_to_date("%Y-%m-%d %H:%i");
// the date string must match the exact format
 
parseDate("2019-01-15 12:00");
// -> Tue Jan 15 2019 12:00:00
 
parseDate("15-01-2019 12:00");
// -> Sun Jul 11 1920 12:00:00 
 
parseDate("2019-01-15T12:00");
// -> Invalid Date
 
 
scheduler.config.parse_exact_format = false;
var parseDate = scheduler.date.str_to_date("%Y-%m-%d %H:%i");
// scheduler will try to detect the provided date string format
 
parseDate("2019-01-15 12:00");
// -> Tue Jan 15 2019 12:00:00
 
parseDate("15-01-2019 12:00");
// -> Tue Jan 15 2019 12:00:00  
 
parseDate("2019-01-15T12:00");
// -> Tue Jan 15 2019 12:00:00

Default value:

false

By default Scheduler tries to automatically identify the format of dates passed by the user for parsing (into the scheduler.date.str_to_date() method). In case you want to apply the exact format specified by the user during parsing, you should enable the parse_exact_format config by setting it to true.
