In the contact entries example you’ll see that we use a relative date filter to output the created date in the format of … minutes ago, hours ago,…days ago

With the following config on the standard label list view field

1 [UIOMaticListViewField(Config = “{’format’ : ‘{{value|relativeDate}}’}“)]
2 [UIOMaticField(View = UIOMatic.Constants.FieldEditors.DateTime)]
3 public DateTime Created { get; set; }

But of course it’s also possible to plug in custom filters

Show me

So let me extend the contact entries example and truncate the message if it’s to large.

I’ve downloaded this truncate filter from github and added that to my project, also added a package manifest and a script where I do the include, so I get the following structure in my AppPlugins folder

Import looks like

1 var app = angular.module(“umbraco“);
2 
3 //These are my Angular modules that I want to inject/require
4 
5 app.requires.push(‘truncate‘);

So with that in place I can now use the new filter

1 [SpecialDbType(SpecialDbTypes.NTEXT)]
2 [Required]
3 [UIOMaticListViewField(Config = “{’format’ : ‘{{value|characters:25}}’}“)]
4 [UIOMaticField(View = UIOMatic.Constants.FieldEditors.Textarea)]
5 public string Message { get; set; }

And now we get a truncated message (tailed with …)
