Question

I\'m using bootstrap 3 date/time picker here:

Is it possible to customise the output text in the date/ti

Answer 1

You have to use square brackets in your format option, because the component uses moment tokens.

Moment docs has an Escaping characters section which states:

To escape characters in format strings, you can wrap the characters in square brackets.

moment().format('[today] ffffdd'); // 'today Sunday'

Here is a working sample:

$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({
  defaultDate:'now',
  ignoreReadonly: true,
  format: '[Departing:] DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss'
});
