Localize datetime from Strapi data
Hello, i used the tool online downloading an example for my project next.js + strapiv4+materialui
I could connect refine to my strapi environment, i added a page related to a strapi table.
I also added the it (italian) language to refine and i selected it.
Now i expect to see date/datetime field formatted in Italian way so dd/MM/yyyy or something like that, instead of this i see Date like MM/dd/yyyy
How should I solve this?

Hi @atti_effe. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. The provided extracts do not contain specific information about date/datetime field formatting in refine, especially in relation to localization or language settings.
However, refine does support internationalization (i18n), which might be related to your issue. You might need to check the documentation or community resources for more specific information on how to format date/datetime fields according to a specific locale in refine.
Here are some useful links:
- Refine's data provider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/core/providers/data-provider/)
- Refine's Strapi V4 support documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/data-providers/strapi-v4)
- Refine's official page (https://refine.dev/)

@kapa.ai can i ask about i18n?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Of course, you can ask about i18n (internationalization) in refine. Refine provides an
i18nProvider
that allows you to add multiple language choices to your web application. The default language of refine is English, but you can include and use your own translation in the project for different language preferences.
An i18nProvider
must have the following properties:
Refine uses these methods via translation hooks (https://refine.dev/docs/core/hooks/translate/useTranslate/).
After creating an i18nProvider
, you can pass it to the <Refine>
component:
This will allow you to put translation features to the following hooks:
- useTranslate
(https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/translate/useTranslate/) shows translation between different languages.
- useSetLocale
(https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/translate/useSetLocale/) changes locale at runtime.
- useGetLocale
(https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/translate/useGetLocale/) getting the current locale.
For more details, you can refer to the Refine i18nProvider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/core/providers/i18n-provider/).

@kapa.ai i need to understand why when taking data from strapi v4 my Date field are not formatted following my locale settings
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the provided extracts, refine supports the features that come with Strapi-v4, including locale settings. However, the extracts do not provide specific information on how date fields are formatted according to locale settings when data is fetched from Strapi-v4.
The
meta
feature in refine allows you to fetch data according to the parameters you want, including locale. However, it's not clear from the extracts whether this includes date formatting.
Here's an example of how meta
is used with locale:
In this example, locale
is used as a parameter in the meta
object. However, it's not specified how this affects date formatting.
For more specific information on how to format date fields according to a specific locale in refine with Strapi-v4, you might need to check the documentation or community resources.
Here are some useful links:
- Refine's data provider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/core/providers/data-provider/)
- Refine's Strapi V4 support documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/data-providers/strapi-v4)

is it possible tu specify date format using DateField?
@kapa.ai is it possible tu specify date format using DateField?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, it is possible to specify the date format using the
DateField
component in refine. The DateField
component uses the Day.js
library to display dates and you can specify the format you want by passing a format
prop to the DateField
component.
Here's an example of how to use it:
In this example, the format
prop is set to "LLL"
, which is a format string recognized by Day.js
. You can replace "LLL"
with any format string that Day.js
recognizes to display the date in the format you want.
For more information on the DateField
component and the Day.js
library, you can refer to the following links:
- Refine's DateField documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/components/fields/date)
- Day.js's format documentation (https://day.js.org/docs/en/display/format)

Hello @atti_effe
you can format MUI date pickers like this
https://mui.com/x/react-date-pickers/date-field/#customize-the-date-format
React Date Field component - MUI X
The Date Field component lets the user select a date with the keyboard.
