Hey @KES777

I really appreciate your enthusiasm. It is great to see that you are eager to use Tabulator.

But could i ask that you take a bit of time to get to know the system and search existing issues before creating a stream of issues. Things like the "optional column" definition have already been covered in other threads.

Cheers

Oli :)

@olifolkerd sorry, but I did not find where suggestion about optional parameter "columns" are covered

This reply comes outdated, but in case it might be of any help, here it goes:

The date handling in tabulator depends on a library called moment.js (https://momentjs.com/)
You can download it and add it to your project. It must be linked before tabulator.js.
That solves the issue.

@KES777 I didn't tag you on my previous reply.

Hi I just had this issue. This is how I fixed it.

1. npm i moment
2. I am using electron so I had to this:

const moment = require('moment')

/* 
tabulator expects moment to be globally available and this is not the case in latest version of moment, as I understand. So I had to add it to the window object. That fixed the issue. 
*/
window.moment = moment

Hope that helps.

@jcramirez Thank you for mentioning the statement:
window.moment = moment
I use tabulator in my React app and need moment.js to provide date formatting in the grid. It solves the problem.

not using node.js, but a plain html page, just adding the "scriptTablePrereqDateTimeSort" row below made the sorter I had just added to an autocolumn work fine without any more work (sorter:"date", sorterParams:{format:"D/M/YYYY"})
