sapui5 - Object doesn't support property or method 'getTime' - sapui5

Question

I am trying to format the date in sapui5. I have tried a couple of stackoverflow suggestion but no success. Date format I get back from oracle db is 2017-10-12T00:00:00.000Z. Please guide. This is my code
<Column>
<m:Label text="Last Load Date" tooltip="Last Load Date"/>
<template>
<m:Label text="${ path: 'LAST_UPDATE', type: 'sap.ui.model.type.Date', formatOptions: { pattern: 'yyyy/MM/dd' }}"/>
</template>
</Column>
Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

I had the same issue.What I did was use custom formatter instead of sapui5 date formatter.
new sap.m.Text({
text: {
path: "LAST_UPDATE",
formatter: function(dateF) {
var date = new Date(dateF);
var mm = date.getMonth() + 1; // getMonth() is zero-based
var dd = date.getDate();
var fhh = date.getHours();
var fmm = date.getMinutes();
var fss = date.getSeconds();
var dateFormated = date.getFullYear() + "/" +
(mm > 9 ? '' : '0') + mm + "/" +
(dd > 9 ? '' : '0') + dd + " " +
(fhh > 9 ? '' : '0') + fhh + ":" +
(fmm > 9 ? '' : '0') + fmm +
":" + (fss > 9 ? '' : '0') + fss;
return "Last updated : " + dateFormated;
}
},
})

This won't work, because "sap.ui.model.type.Date" expects the data in the following format (ABAP backned uses it):
/Date(TIMESTAMP)/
So 2 solutions:
Adjust you backend to return the required date property structure;
Implement your custom data type (based on a standard one), which will work with the format as you described in the question.
