In this article we will see how to format dates as String in DataWeave 2. This is something generic code which you can use for your date transformations in dataweave 2.
For example, lets say we want the output in the format “yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ss.SSS” to “yyyy-MM-dd“
Please find snippet below:
%dw 2.0
output application/json
fun format(df: DateTime) = df as String {format: “yyyy-MM-dd”}
—
{
CreatedDateTime: format(“2019-02-13T13:23:00.120Z”)
}
