formatters

Array<Formatter>

{
  a: toLocalDateTime("2003-10-01 23:57:59", [{format: "uuuu/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"}, {format: "uuuu-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"}]),
  b: try(() -> toLocalDateTime("2003-10-01 23:57:59", [{format: "uuuu/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"}])).error.message
}

Output

{
  a: |2003-10-01T23:57:59| as LocalDateTime {format: "uuuu-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"},
  b: "Could not find a valid formatter for '2003-10-01 23:57:59'"
}

toLocalDateTime(str: String, format: String | Null = null, locale: String | Null = null): LocalDateTime

Transforms a String value into a LocalDateTime value and accepts a format and locale.

Introduced in DataWeave version 2.4.0.

Parameters

Name Description

Name	Description
`str`	The `String` value to transform into a `LocalDateTime` value.
`format`	The formatting to use on the `LocalDateTime` value. A `null` value has no effect on the `LocalDateTime` value. This parameter accepts Java character patterns based on ISO-8601. A `LocalDateTime` value, such as `2011-12-03T10:15:30.000000` has the format `uuuu-MM-dd HH:mm:ss`.
`locale`	Optional ISO 3166 country code to use, such as `US`, `AR`, or `ES`. A `null` or absent value uses your JVM default.

str

The String value to transform into a LocalDateTime value.

format

The formatting to use on the LocalDateTime value. A null value has no effect on the LocalDateTime value. This parameter accepts Java character patterns based on ISO-8601. A LocalDateTime value, such as 2011-12-03T10:15:30.000000 has the format uuuu-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.

locale

Optional ISO 3166 country code to use, such as US, AR, or ES. A null or absent value uses your JVM default.

}

Output

{
  a: |2015-10-01T23:57:59|,
