Hello together,

can someone tell me how to use LocalDateTime in Xtext?

I defined this in xcore and convert it to Xtext dsl
class Event{
	String ^id
	String title
	String summary
	String location
    String description
	LocalDateTime start
	LocalDateTime end
	LocalDateTime created
	LocalDateTime lastModified
	String status
	String source
}

type LocalDateTime wraps LocalDateTime
create{
	LocalDateTime.parse(it, DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"))
}convert{
	if( it !== null ) DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").format(it)
}


The result looks likethis
[Event returns Event:
	{Event}
	'Event' '('
		('start' start=LocalDateTime)?
		('end' end=LocalDateTime)?
		('title' title=EString)?
		('location' location=EString)?
	')';

EIntegerObject returns ecore::EIntegerObject:
	'-'? INT;

LocalDateTime returns LocalDateTime:
	'LocalDateTime' /* TODO: implement this rule and an appropriate IValueConverter */;


How can I fill my LocalDateTime as String in the dsl and after that convert it to LocalDateTime?

How should I use the IValueConverter?

Best regards
Dimg

yes you should implement an IValueConverter.
the first question i did not understand.

maybe something like

LocalDateTime:
INT "-" INT "-" INT INT ":"INT;
and then make sure the stuff is correct in value converter

Thank you, yes I ask for the LocalDateTime pattern.

Where should I initialized the implemented ValueConverter?

Currently I use this grammar to generate the xmi file. At which point should I use the IValueConverter then?

Thank you I found it, the point is I have to bind the subclass of DefaultTerminalConverters to the RuntimeModule. It works!
