New Widget for Date Range

[metas-mk]

Type of issue

Feature request

Current behavior

Currently, there is no Widget for Date-Range in WebUI

Expected behavior

Have a Date Range Widget, similar to what we already have in Filter Widget.

[wiadev]

How values of this widget should be persisted in database?

We have single value for each property updated using PATCH request.
My question how to represent date range if we need to store two values (start and end dates).

This could be array of dates, e.g. [start, end]
Or JSON serialized representation, like {"start": 1234, "end": 2345}

Please let me know how to store those values.

Take a look at datetimerange widget used in filters. I guess it would be nice to keep same data structure.

@wiadev you can find an example to see the date-range wiget in action in window/143
press on the first filter "date ordered"
the endpoints for the usage in process parms will be provided by @teosarca in the issue 491 mentioned above.

hi guys,

I think we cannot use the JSON format that we are using for filtering because there we have something like this:

In case of date range process parameter we can agree to something similar to "filters" and also to what @wiadev proposed, i.e.

{ "value":"...", "valueTo":"..." }

note: "parameterName" is not needed.

wdyt?

[teosarca]

and more, in future we will need support for other "range" types like

• string range
• integer/amount/quantity etc

For those cases i would suggest to use the same format (i.e. {"value":"..", "valueTo":".."} ).

But that's for the future.
I am writing it here to have an overview about where we are heading too.

Moving it to backlog, until the API is ready.
But nevertheless, pls feel free to comment and give more input or suggestions.
