Grails datepicker

Using the grails datepicker control, is there a way to have it save time precision, but only show the user up to the day? The user only cares about that day, but I need to add the time of day that entry was persisted into the db.

In order to just store precision upto day in the database, you can get use the mapping. Assuming that your database is MSSQL (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186724.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396)

class Message {

...

Date dateCreated
Date lastUpdated

static mapping = {
    dateCreated sqlType:'date'
    lastUpated sqlType:'date'
}


}

Ref: http://docs.grails.org/latest/ref/Database%20Mapping/column.html

In your GSPs, you can use

<g:datePicker name="dateCreated" value="${new Date()}" precision="day" />

If you add the attribute precision='day' to the tag, the time fields will not be shown, e.g.

<g:datePicker name="myDate" value="${new Date()}" precision="day"/>

You can set then the time fields in the controller to their default when the data is submitted.

From what I know, datepicker doesnt save precision and sets some default values on the fields that are ommited.

If you need to persist the time of day entry was persisted, you can use dateCreated lastUpdated which will be automatically set when object will be persisted for the first time (dateCreated) or every time object will be modified (lastUpdated).

class Message {

    ...

    Date dateCreated
    Date lastUpdated

}
