I want to use the datePipe in my component. I followed the instructions here but I am met with
Error: StaticInjectorError[DatePipe]:
StaticInjectorError[DatePipe]:
NullInjectorError: No provider for DatePipe!
Here is my code:
Component
import { DatePipe } from '@angular/common';
export class LivePreviewComponent implements OnInit{
currentDate = new Date();
constructor(private datePipe:DatePipe) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.datePipe.transform(this.currentDate, 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm')
}
}
Add to providers array in the component
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: '...',
providers:[DatePipe]
})
or inject it to module
@NgModule({
providers:[DatePipe]
})
or write a separate class extending the DatePipe and use it as a service
@Injectable()
export class CustomDatePipe extends DatePipe {
transform(value, format) {
return super.transform(value, format);
}
}
and inject this to providers array
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: '...',
providers:[CustomDatePipe]
})
Add in the Module providers: [DatePipe],
Add in the constructor private datePipe: DatePipe
Add in Ts file for Form Array:
const start_date = this.datePipe.transform(starttime, 'hh:mm a');
const end_date = this.datePipe.transform(endtime, 'hh:mm a');
this.Form.controls['starttime'].patchValue(start_date);
this.Form.controls['endtime'].patchValue(end_date);
Pipes, unlike Services, are not injectable. In order to use pipe in a component, you need to create new instance of it:
ngOnInit() {
console.log(new DatePipe().transform(this.currentDate, 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm'));
}
