How to Sort Datasource Based on Date Time in JavaScript Timeline?

6 mins read

This article explains how to sort a datasource based on dateTime in JavaScript Timeline.

The following steps are used to sort the data source based on date and time in the JavaScript Timeline component.

Step 1: Implement the Timeline component using our Getting Started documentation.

Step 2: To achieve this requirement, send the Timeline component data source as a parameter to the sortDatasByDateTime method.

Step 3: In the sortDatasByDateTime function, sort the data source based on date and time using the sort function.

Step 4: Define a helper function, which is 'parseDateTime,' to convert the datetime strings in the data source into JavaScript Date objects. This will allow you to sort the items chronologically.

[index.js]

// Function to parse datetime strings

function parseDateTime(datetime) {

  return new Date(datetime);

}

 

// Function to sort data based on datetime values

function sortDatasByDateTime(data) {

  return data.sort((a, b) => {

    const dateA = parseDateTime(a.datetime);

    const dateB = parseDateTime(b.datetime);

    return dateA - dateB;

  });

}

 

// Sort datas array

datas = sortDatasByDateTime(datas);

 

var defaultTimeline = new ej.layouts.Timeline({

  items: datas,

  orientation: 'Horizontal',

});

defaultTimeline.appendTo('#default');
