month name from numeric

Hello, Michael!

Thank you for writing to us.

Our team wants to inform you that there are several ways to format months' names from the date fields for JSON and CSV data sources.

1. The following approach is used when you need to set one default date format for all date fields in Flexmonster.

The datePattern option is applied for all columns with the date string data type. Also, we used defaultDateType property with date string value. That makes Flexmonster treat all the date columns as date string.

report:{
   options: {
      defaultDateType: "date string",
      datePattern: "dd MMM YYYY"
   }
   slice: {...}
}

You can try this approach on jsFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/x41q3m7v/

2. If you need to format dates only for the specific column, we recommend defining date formats in the mapping property of the dataSource object:

dataSource:{
   filename:{...},
   mapping: {
      "Date": {
         uniqueName:"Date String",
         type:"date string",
         format:"dd MMM YYYY"
      }
   }
}

We have prepared a simple example for visualization: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/zLu1p639/
For more details, please look through our docs on this topic: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/date-and-time-formatting

How to define the language
You can specify the localization for all months' names in the language you want. Here's our localization guide: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/localizing-component/

Please let us know if it works for you. Feel free to contact us if any further questions arise.
