Angular grid timestamp columns should have the option to display datePlusTime

[Jane Sandberg]

In the angular web staff client, you can create a timestamp column like so:

<eg-grid-column name="start_time" label="Start Time" i18n-label path="start_time" datatype="timestamp"></eg-grid-column>

The datatype="timestamp" attribute nicely puts the data from the database into a nice, human-readable date. However, there doesn't appear to be an option to display the full time (date + time) in the column with a nice format.

It looks like format.service.ts has a datePlusTime? property, which could be used to display that full time. If there were a nice way to pass this parameter in via some attribute in the <eg-grid-column>, it would be really handy.

I have not looked at the new Angular grid date and time code in detail, but the AngularJS version has quite a bit of tooling around the display of timestamps, including knowing how to respect the timezone of a related org unit. We leverage moment.js heavily for much of that. Just wanted to note that for whichever future-us ends up looking into this bug.

Here's a branch to handle just the grid option for displaying date + time (includes sandbox example).

http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/berick/lp1807764-grid-datetime

Still need to implement timezone/org handling.

Works well for me, Bill. Thanks! Here's a signoff branch: user/sandbergja/lp1807764-grid-datetime-signedoff

Should the timezone/org handling work live on this LP bug, or would it be better as a new LP bug?

Just a note that I just split the timezone piece into a new bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1812325 -- let me know if there's another piece of this puzzle that I'm missing.

Thanks for the new bug, Jane. I have merged the commit for this bug into master for 3.3.
