I am trying to instantiate a DatePipe
object in my Angular2 app to use transform(...)
function in a component I'm developing.
// ...
import { DatePipe } from '@angular/common';
@Component({...})
export class PanelComponent implements OnInit {
// ...
datePipe: DatePipe = new DatePipe(); // Error thrown here
// ...
}
This code segment worked fine in RC5. Now I am trying to upgrade to Angular2 final release and getting this error when I run ng serve
or ng build
,
~/tmp/broccoli_type_script_compiler-input_base_path-XitPWaey.tmp/0/src/app/panel/panel.component.ts (33, 24):
Supplied parameters do not match any signature of call target.
How can I resolve this issue? Is there another way of instantiating a Pipe? Or has Angular stopped supporting instantiating of Pipes inside components?
If you take a look at source code then you will see that DatePipe constructor asks for a required parameter:
constructor(@Inject(LOCALE_ID) private _locale: string) {}
There is no default locale for DataPipe
https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/2.0.0/modules/%40angular/common/src/pipes/date_pipe.ts#L97
That's why typescript gives the error.
This way you have to initiate your variable as shown below:
datePipeEn: DatePipe = new DatePipe('en-US')
datePipeFr: DatePipe = new DatePipe('fr-FR')
constructor() {
console.log(this.datePipeEn.transform(new Date(), 'dd MMMM')); // 21 September
console.log(this.datePipeFr.transform(new Date(), 'dd MMMM')); // 21 septembre
}
Hope it helps you!
looks everything fine, error must be anywhere else in your code.
See my plunker: https://plnkr.co/edit/koDu6YmB131E6sXc6rKg?p=preview
import {Component, NgModule} from '@angular/core'
import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser'
import {DatePipe} from '@angular/common';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
template: `
<div>
<h2>Hello {{name}}</h2>
</div>
`,
})
export class App {
dPipe = new DatePipe();
constructor() {
this.name = 'Angular2'
console.dir(this.dPipe);
console.log(this.dPipe.transform(new Date(), 'dd.MM'));
}
}
@NgModule({
imports: [ BrowserModule ],
declarations: [ App ],
bootstrap: [ App ]
})
export class AppModule {}
And @Harry Ninh .. you can't inject Pipes!!
