dynamic_filter type: :date_time (not linked to an existing field)

[pjmuller]

Feature

If you want to create a dynamic filter for type=date_time for a non existing field an error (see screenshot below).
However, date_time is already implemented because if you reference an existing field (e.g. created_at it shows up nicely, see example code below)

def fields
   field :created_at, as: :date_time
end

def filters
   dynamic_filter :created_at # works
   dynamic_filter :non_defined_field, type: :date_time, conditions: {...}, query: ... # fails
end

Current workarounds

when using type: :date it works, but then I don't have the time component...

Hey @pjmuller.

date_time is not a valid dynamic filter type. All the possible filter types are specified on the documentation on the type section (here)

Enabling the time picker on a date filter is only possible (for now) if the filter is defined in a date_time or time field.

The filter is using flatpickr behind the scenes, to fully customize the picker we can add the picker_options option where you could configure flatpick options.

Something like:

    dynamic_filter :only_time_example,
      type: :date,
      picker_options: {
        enableTime: true,
        noCalendar: true
      }

    dynamic_filter :date_time_example,
      type: :date,
      picker_options: {
        enableTime: true
      }

Hi @Paul-Bob yes, allowing to set picker_options on a dynamic_filter of type = date will do the trick for me.
I guess we can close this one? and just have issue #3182 ?

Yes, closing in favor of #3182
