[Spec] Date from-to format

Open haavamoa opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

We should provide a from-to date format. The current date converters provides formats that are too long to be used in a app when you want to display a from and to date together. The following formats are inspired by our desktop client:

Example:

Dates are in the same month

From: 02.02.2020

To: 25.02.2020

English

Short: 2nd - 25th Feb 2020

Long: 2nd - 25th February 2020

Norwegian

Short: 2. - 25. feb 2020

Long: 2. - 25. februar 2020

Example:

Date are in different months

From: 02.02.2020

To: 25.03.2020

English

Short: 2nd Feb - 25th Mar 2020

Long: 2nd February- 25th Mars 2020

Norwegian

Short: 2. feb - 25. mar 2020

Long: 2. februar - 25. mars 2020

Example:

Date are in different years

From: 24.12.2019

To: 25.03.2020

English

Short: 24th Dec 2019 - 25th Mar 2020

Long: 24th December 2019 - 25th March 2020

Norwegian

Short: 24. des 2019 - 25. mar 2020

Long: 24. desember 2019 - 25. mars 2020

Example:

Dates are in the same month, but different year

Should give the same format as: Date are in different months

API Changes

Consider creating a DateRangeConverter with different Formats. With the lack of a IMultiValueConverter, we should also consider creating a new type for the date-range. DateRange might be a good name for it.

DateRange should have FromDate and ToDate properties to be used inside of the converter.
