No Example of using DateTime Column

Happy to find this great package I have implemented it in production! 🎉 But even after extensive searching I failed to find an example stating how to use DateTime Column. I don’t know if this is the correct place to ask this question. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙇
Found this in the docs

Formats a datetime from the item. Can specify a datetime_format to use, which defaults to ‘short’, which is passed to babel.dates.format_datetime.

Could someone please post a minimal working example of DateTime ? My current Columns show time in the long format including pico seconds (maybe)

Yip! This issue can be closed! Thanks for all your help.

I agree a proper example would be well worth adding.

Basic usage would look something like:

class MyTable(Table):
    datetime = DatetimeCol(
        'DateTime Heading',
        datetime_format="YYYY-MM-dd hh:mm")

items = [dict(datetime=datetime.datetime.now())]
mytable = MyTable(items)

The argument you pass as datetime_format is passed on to Babel’s format_datetime as the format argument, defaulting to "short".

So what it actually displays depends the current locale. If you pass a custom format, Babel uses different letters to .strftime for formatting.

Which is all a touch opaque, really, and worth my documenting properly.

Hopefully that’s helpful for the time being. If there’s still something not clear or not working for you, let me know and I’ll try to help, and get the documentation updated.
