Using jQueryMask Plugin to format dates in different patterns

jQuery Mask Plugin is a great Javascript library to format fields for presentation and/or to force a properly input by users.

Here, I show how to deal with input or another HTML element to display dates when the source date has a different format from target element.

Example:

  • We have a datetime with Year-Month-Day Hour:Minute:Seconds and need to show only the Year/Month/Day part.
  • We have da date in Year-Month-Day and need to format to Day/Month/Year.

jQueryMask is very simple to use. It do not need to much to mask whatever you need. Take a look at examples on his website.

If you need to format a simple date field (even in a non-input element), just use the code below.

jQuery('[data-role="date"]).mask("TC99/M9/D9", {
        placeholder: "____/__/__",
        translation: {
            "D": {pattern: /[0-3]/, optional: false, recursive: true},
            "M": {pattern: /[01]/, optional: false, recursive: true},
            "T": {pattern: /[12]/, optional: false, recursive: true},
            "C": {pattern: /[09]/, optional: false, recursive: true}
        }
    });

The code above can mask and pre-validate dates in YEAR/MONTH/DAY format.

With an input like

<input type="text" data-role="date" value="2018-06-11 15:47" />

would be changed his value to 2018/06/11.

If you try to type another date (after clear, of course) you cannot begin with a number different from 1 or 2. This reason is that our mask have a translation to be done when allowing chars. If the pattern does not match, the char is erased.

The meaning of “TC99/M9/D9” mask is:

  • Must begin with 1 or 2 (Translation T: /[12]/ – Custom format)
  • Must have number 0 or 9 (Translation C: /[09]/ – Custom format)
  • Must have a number (any) (Translation 9 – MaskPlugin Core format)
  • Must have a number (any) (Translation 9 – MaskPlugin Core format)
  • A slash will be added automatic ( / )
  • Must have number 0 or 1 (Translation M: /[01]/ – Custom format)
  • Must have a number (any) (Translation 9: MaskPlugin Core format)
  • A slash will be added automatic ( / )
  • Must have number 0, 1, 2 or 3 (Translation D: /[0-3]/ – Custom format)
  • Must have a number (any) (Translation 9: MaskPlugin Core format)

Of course, there is no real validation. You can type “2999/19/39” and this is not a valid date, but is almost done.

So, to format in another way, just change mask parameter order.

But, if the source date is in a different pattern, like MONTH/DAY/YEAR, the mask do not work. The date output for “06/11/2018 15:40” will be weird “1018/15/0“.

To handle different date formats will be needed more than simple mask. We will need a function.

Look the code below

        var maskBehaviorDateTime = function (val, e, field) { // This function must return a MASK
                    var msk = "TC99/M9/D9"; // Our desired format
                    var v = field.is('input') ? field.val() : field.text(); // is a input or another html element??
                    v = v.replace(/\D/g, ''); // stripe non digits
                    if (v != '') { // has value?
                        if ((/^[01]\d[0-3]\d\d{4}$/).test(v)) { //test if pattern match Month/Day/Year only
                            v = v.replace(/^(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})$/, '$3/$2/$1');
                        } else if ((/^[01]\d[0-3]\d\d{4}[012]\d[0-5]\d$/).test(v)) { //test if pattern match Month/Day/Year Hour:Minute
                            v = v.replace(/^(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})$/, '$3/$2/$1');
                            // If we need to show hour and minute, returned mask must be changed too
                            // v = v.replace(/^(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})$/, '$3/$2/$1 $4:$5');
                            // msk = 'TC99/M9/D9 h9:m9'; // h and m must be exists in Translation options
                        }
                        field.is('input') ? field.val(v) : field.text(v);
                    }
                    return msk;
                },
                optionsDateTime = {
                    placeholder: "____/__/__",
                    translation: {
                        "D": {pattern: /[0-3]/, optional: false, recursive: true},
                        "M": {pattern: /[01]/, optional: false, recursive: true},
                        "T": {pattern: /[12]/, optional: false, recursive: true},
                        "C": {pattern: /[09]/, optional: false, recursive: true},
                        "h": {pattern: /[0-2]/, optional: true, recursive: true},
                        "m": {pattern: /[0-5]/, optional: true, recursive: true}
                    }
                };
        jQuery('[data-role="date"]').mask(maskBehaviorDateTime,  optionsDateTime);

Now we have two more Translation Pattern (h and m). h means that the n-index position must have numbers 0, 1 or 2 and m numbers between 0 and 5. Keep in mind that CASE matters.

With the above code, we can format and show date in several ways. just change .test() and .replace() pattern to fill your desired pattern.

This is the code that I am using to format Database datetime fields with YEAR-MONTH-DAY HOUR:MINUTE:SECOND in html elements with DAY/YEAR/MONTH HOUR:MINUTE

    var maskBehaviorDateTime = function (val, e, field) {
            // Caso já exista um valor, o formata no padrão dd/mm/yyyy com o opcional hh:mm:ss
            var msk = "TC99/M9/D9 h9:m9:s9";
            if (field.attr("data-original-value") == undefined) {
                var o = field.is('input') ? field.val() : field.text();
            } else {
                var o = field.attr("data-original-value");
            }
            v = o.replace(/\D/g, '');
            if (v != '') {
                field.attr("data-original-value") == undefined && field.attr("data-original-value", o);
                if ((/^[12][09]\d{2}[01]\d[0123]\d$/).test(v)) { // year/month/day
                    v = v.replace(/^(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})$/, '$3/$2/$1');
                    msk = "D9/M9/TC99";
                } else  if ((/^[12][09]\d{2}[01]\d[0123]\d[012]\d[0-5]\d$/).test(v)) { // year/month/day hour:minute
                    v = v.replace(/^(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})$/, '$3/$2/$1 $4:$5');
                    msk = "D9/M9/TC99 h9:m9";
                } else if ((/^[12][09]\d{2}[01]\d[0123]\d[012]\d[0-5]\d[0-5]\d$/).test(v)) { // year/month/day hour:minute:second
                    v = v.replace(/^(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})$/, '$3/$2/$1 $4:$5:$6');
                    msk = "D9/M9/TC99 h9:m9:s9";
                }
                field.is('input') ? field.val(v) : field.text(v);
            }

            return msk;
        },
        optionsDateTime = {
            placeholder: "__/__/____",
            translation: {
                "D": {pattern: /[0-3]/, optional: false, recursive: true},
                "M": {pattern: /[01]/, optional: false, recursive: true},
                "T": {pattern: /[12]/, optional: false, recursive: true},
                "C": {pattern: /[09]/, optional: false, recursive: true},
                "h": {pattern: /[0-2]/, optional: true, recursive: true},
                "m": {pattern: /[0-5]/, optional: true, recursive: true},
                "s": {pattern: /[0-5]/, optional: true, recursive: true}
            },
        };
    jQuery('[data-role="date"]').mask(maskBehaviorDateTime,  optionsDateTime);

With an input like

<input type="text" data-role="date" value="2018-06-11 15:40">

Output will be

11/06/2018 15:40

Hope this help you!

Binding several values in PDO SQL Statement (PDOStatement)

Sometimes we need to search a single value through several columns when building SQL instructions.

Suppose the table below

  • [ENTITY_ONE]
    • ID
    • COLUMN_A
    • COLUMN_B
    • COLUMN_C
    • COLUMN_D
    • COLUMN_E

If we need search a single value on columns B,D and E we will need use the following instruction

SELECT ID, COLUMN_A,(...COLUMNS..), COLUMN_E 
FROM ENTITY_ONE WHERE COLUMN_B LIKE '%search_value%' OR COLUMN_D LIKE '%search_value%' OR COLUMN_E LIKE '%search_value%';

In PHP code we can do

$q = '%search_value%';
$sql = "SELECT * FROM ENTITY_ONE WHERE COLUMN_B LIKE '$q' OR COLUMN_D LIKE '$q' OR COLUMN_E LIKE '$q'; 
$pdo = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass); 
$stmt = $pdo->query($sql);

Well, this can work but we know that isn’t the best approach. We need use Binding Values to avoid SQL injection and other malicious treats.

So, the code can be modified to

$q = '%search_value%'; 
$sql = "SELECT * FROM ENTITY_ONE WHERE COLUMN_B LIKE ? OR COLUMN_D LIKE ? OR COLUMN_E LIKE ?; 
$args = [$q, $q, $q]; // We need one entry for each "?" on instruction
$pdo = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass); 
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute($args);

Much better, but, when building complex SQL instruction, things can be confusing with lots of arguments and don’t forget: ORDER MATTERS.

Happily PDO can bind values in different order when using named bindings.

$q = '%search_value%'; 
$sql = "SELECT * FROM ENTITY_ONE WHERE COLUMN_B LIKE :first_arg OR COLUMN_D LIKE :second_arg OR COLUMN_E LIKE :third_arg; 

$pdo = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass); 
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql); 
// One way
$args = [':first_arg' => $q, ':third_arg' =>$q, ':second_arg' => $q]; // We need one entry for each ":name" on instruction 
$stmt->execute($args); 
// Another way
$stmt->bindValue(':third_arg'. $q);
$stmt->bindValue(':first_arg', $q); 
$stmt->bindValue(':second_arg', $q);

$stmt->execute(); 

Hmm, seems that this isn’t good enough. We only change the use of 1-indexed placeholder to a :named placeholder. There’s no gain beyond of code readable and the possibility to bind in any order.

Yes, but now we can do the best approach when using one unique search term in several columns. We can use only one bind to one or more :named placeholders ’cause PDO is smart and clever. Look our final code here.

$q = '%search_value%'; 
$sql = "SELECT * FROM ENTITY_ONE WHERE COLUMN_B LIKE :unique_arg OR COLUMN_D LIKE :unique_arg OR COLUMN_E LIKE :unique_arg; 
$pdo = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass); 
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql); 
// One way 
$args = [':unique_arg' => $q]; // We can bind all :name with only one term 
$stmt->execute($args); 
// Another way 
$stmt->bindValue(':unique_arg', $q); 
$stmt->execute(); 

Can save a lot of typing when writing many SQL instruction using same argument.
