Can someone explain dmx.Formatters? and provide some reference on how to use it?

Hey,

I just came accross dmx.formatters in the forums and am surprisede its taken be a year to realise this feature exists :slight_smile: I use dmx.parse and dmx.global.set quite a bit, but would love to explore what the custom formatters is all about and unlock more potential.

It seems it pops up as a solution to a number of specific queries, but i can’t find any information on its general usage, ints syntax, what exact formatters you can use in it (I’ve seen string and array etc)

Would someone care to give a general overview on these points? Is it covered somewhere i’ve missed, perhaps one of the dmx-zone blogs?

Anyway…any general info would be great as i’m sure i could make use of it,

Here’s an example from one of the posts…

dmx.Formatters('string', {
  getWeek: function(val) {
    return moment(val).week();
  },
  getIsoWeek: function(val) {
    return moment(val).isoweek();
  }
});

Cheers!
