Using DateTimeConverter

[Colin Bester]

What is correct way to use DateTimeConverter set in Boot.scala using LiftRules.dateTimeConverter.default.set()?

Is this example correct, or is there better way?

    val mk :DateTimeConverter = LiftRules.dateTimeConverter.vend
    val dt = mk.formatDateTime(new Date())

[Antonio Salazar Cardozo]

I think that's probably the best way. `vend` is implicit, so you may be able

to invoke it implicitly, but I think these are meant to be used with things that

accept a `Vendor[T]` rather than try to invoke `vend` directly. This allows you

to substitute a different vendor for e.g. tests.

Thanks,

Antonio

Thanks, much appreciated. 

To be honest I not quite on the same wavelength on the factorymaker side of Lift and need to get my head around it. To date I use my own object singelton to provide common funtionality like formatting and parsing date time data.

Will look more into how to use Vendor[T] idea.

Colin,

Don't feel that you always have to use Vendor[T], we use it for things that change from test to production, like, we expire cookies after 48 hours, but in test we set them to milliseconds. But then for date formats, we also use a singleton and that is simple and works well, we don't need to change the formatting of a date in test vs prod.

Thanks

Diego
