[Feature Request] Customize how a Datetime will appear in a note/comment

[guiu57023]

Hello,
Firstly thanks you guys for creating and maintaining such cool project.

I would like to customize how a Datetime appears in a note/comment using as an alternative to
dangerouslySetNoteTransformFunction approach.

Assuming WebViewer-UI uses Dayjs to handle Datetime formats and Dayjs allows to work with custom plugins (Nodejs and Browser).

If somehow WebViewer-UI allows to load a Dayjs plugin it would provide the expected result.

With guidance I could provide a patch (if needed) or if it's a skill issue, please point it, so I can fill the gap.
Allowing to load Dayjs plugin would benefit the community/project and would be better than maintain an own version of the project.

I asked same question at Discord link.

// https://docs.apryse.com/api/web/UI.html#.setTimezone__anchor
webviewer.UI.setTimezone('Europe/London');
// https://docs.apryse.com/api/web/7.3/WebViewerInstance.html#setNoteDateFormat__anchor
webviewer.UI.setNoteDateFormat('DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:ss Z');
The issue is we need to apply an custom format that dayjs doesn't handle.
The idea would be creating dayjs plugin and load with webviewer.

If its possible having a webviewer.UI.setCustomNoteDateFormat resulting e.g. "05-Dec-2023 00:30:17 (UTC+13:00, SST)"

Another option (actually is the 1st one right now) is using
// https://docs.apryse.com/api/web/7.3/WebViewerInstance.html#dangerouslySetNoteTransformFunction__anchor
dangerouslySetNoteTransformFunction

Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you guys.

Thank you.

Hi @guiu57023,

Thanks for taking the time to submit this. I will add this as a feature request to our backlog. Do you have an example of a custom plugin you currently use or would like to use? I can include this as part of our testing/acceptance criteria to ensure it works.
