[AdminUI] defaultValue as function not working on Calendar Day

[maximelebreton]

Hey there,

I wanted to put the current day as default value on the CalendarDay field.

So I read the fields config documentation:

And then CalendarDay config documentation

I tried to do this, but it doesn't work:

fields: {
    date: {
      type: CalendarDay,
      defaultValue: () => Date.now().toISOString() // doesn't work

So to be sure, I tried this, and it works:

fields: {
    date: {
      type: CalendarDay,
      defaultValue: "2020-01-01" // works
    }

So I tried this, and it doesn't work...

fields: {
    date: {
      type: CalendarDay,
      defaultValue: () => "2020-01-01" // doesn't work
    }

So the defaultValue prop as function doesn't work...

Maybe it's related to all fields, I haven't tested it?

Personal thought:
Please switch to Typescript, we shouldn't meet anymore this kind of stuff in 2020 :)

This also seems to be the case with the DateTime type.

My schema:

fields: {
  createdAt: {
    type: DateTime,
    defaultValue: () => new Date().toISOString()
  }
}

This does seem to be an AdminUI issue only. Using the GraphQL playground this works fine.

Yes, this is a duplicate and I've just updated the documentation so that this doesn't happen again. @maximelebreton I'm sorry for the confusion please for why this must be a string: #2043

Actually, after #2347 the function default should work as long as isRequired is false.
