// Since CommonModule does not export it as a provider you'll have to do it yourself. This is not very complicated.
//1) Import DatePipe:
import { DatePipe } from '@angular/common';
// 2) Include DatePipe in your module's providers:
NgModule({
providers: [DatePipe]
})
export class AppModule {
}
// or component's providers:
@Component({
selector: 'home',
styleUrls: ['./home.component.css'],
templateUrl: './home.component.html',
providers: [DatePipe]
})
export class HomeComponent {
...
// 3) Inject it into your component's constructor like any other service:
constructor(private datePipe: DatePipe) {
}
// 4) Use it:
ngOnInit() {
this.time = this.datePipe.transform(new Date());
}
