adding default date to model

[W.S. Hager]

Hi,

When I want to add a default value to the date property in my model, the date returned is a stale one:

...
dateFormat = require('dateformat');
...
date:{
            type:"string",
            format:"date",
            "default":dateFormat(new Date(),"isoDate")
},
...

The date in the new instance is not the current date but two days ago. When I restart persvr I get the current one. How can I fix this?

Thanks.

with what you currently have, the dateFormat(new Date(),"isoDate") code is run once (when your model is defined) and this is why the date in the instance is old - in fact it will be the same for every instance that gets the default value.

fortunately, the "default" property can be a function that will be invoked for every instance that gets the default value.

"default": function () { return dateFormat(new Date(),"isoDate"); }

i believe that should work.

thanks,
