Formatting and Parsing Date/Time Value

[hkvstore]

Currently the date is formatted by the format() method of the DateTime class:

  format(template: DateTimeFormatOptions, locale = this.locale): string {
    return new Intl.DateTimeFormat(locale, template).format(this);
  }

and when the input field changes, the input value is parsed by the static method OptionConverter._dateTypeCheck:

    let parsedDate = OptionConverter._dateTypeCheck(this._input.value);

It is hard to customize, is it possible to provide more flexibility? For example, can they be options? e.g.

    inputFormat: DateTimeFormatOptions | any;
    format: (DateTime, DateTimeFormatOptions | any, string) => string; // value, inputFormat, locale
    parse: (any, DateTimeFormatOptions | any, string) => DateTime | null; // value, inputFormat, locale

looks related to #2387. I already have some incoming code that should make the input parse behave better. Version 5 had a parseInputDate option that allowed for a custom parser for input values. I'm thinking about adding several hooks like painting the cells (e.g. unavailable appointment days)

Hello thanks for the report. Please check the comments in #2403. I'm going to close this one so I don't have to track this in to places.
