[Calendar] should provide leading zero

[MarcelMpunkt]

Feature Request

Description

in Forms the date is outputed in this format 6.5.1999
it should be possible to be like 06.05.1999 -> with leading zeros

Workaround

put certain if-statements in the formatter property
formatter: {
date: function (date, settings) {
if (!date) return '';
var day = date.getDate();
if (day.toString().length < 2) {
day = "0" + day
}
var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
if (month.toString().length < 2) {
month = "0" + month
}
var year = date.getFullYear();
return day + '.' + month + '.' + year;
}
},

Testcase

This should be implemented using an optional setting like leadingZeros:true (at least to avoid being a breaking change).
I wonder if this new setting should also affect the input validator? So should this setting also force the user to input 02.06.2019 ?

🤔 The default formatter for dates in the calendar module does not have the code you were referring to. The default template displays the full month name instead

Fomantic-UI/src/definitions/modules/calendar.js

Lines 1186 to 1191 in 783786b

	var day = date.getDate();
	var month = settings.text.months[date.getMonth()];
	var year = date.getFullYear();
	return settings.type === 'year' ? year :
	settings.type === 'month' ? month + ' ' + year :
	(settings.monthFirst ? month + ' ' + day : day + ' ' + month) + ', ' + year;

So i suggest to implement/support a more generic formatter option instead. Otherwise that kind of feature request is the reason why the formatter can be given dynamically as a function like you did in your fiddle.

I think it should be optional as well.
May be there should also be a kind of string handler as for the year
If u input 2.6.66 it could be corrected to 02.06.1966

This is now fixed/possible by #2324 using dateformat tokens DD.MM.YYYY
