Set Full Calendar weekly view date to ISO format

[tingmelvin]

Probably on your to-do list. Currently it's in an American-style format (Mar 6 - 12, 2022), it'll be lovely if it could be turned into YYYY-MM-DD or something that the user can define!

Thanks for the work on the plugin!

Agreed. I came here to say the same thing. There is currently no standard date format available (only USA-specific date format) which means that for everyone else the day and month seem backwards. This is particularly confusing in places where only numbers are shown. If I see 04/06, to me that's that's 4th June not 6th April.

Hopefully config settings will be provided soon, so that users can set the date to their liking to suit their locale. Getting the date correct is obviously a pretty high priority for any calendar app.

@Quisquose which places in the app only show numbers? The one I can think of is the datepicker for events in the modal. In that case, I don't think the HTML default datepicker supports any customization, and so part of this task will be investigating a custom datepicker.

Ah, in week view there's Sat 5/7, for example instead of 7 May. As an American, I'm not as familiar with other localized date formats, I'll look for a way to let people configure this in JSON.

Is there already a way to configure this maybe in the data.json file or any advancements? Thank you

@Alejandro-Stolz Did you find a place where the date format can be changed?

Sadly not. I've been using the calendar non-stop since I opened the issue and I've gotten used to it.

What works for me as a workaround in the week view is that I added the following line to the main.js file in the BASE_OPTION_DEFAULTS

var BASE_OPTION_DEFAULTS = {
...
dayHeaderFormat: { weekday: 'short', month: 'short', day: 'numeric', omitCommas: true }
}

It now reads something like "Fri Nov 10" and I can't confuse Day and Month anymore.

Would be great to have a setting for the dayHeaderFormat though.
