[swagger-faker] Use ISO 8601 for Date and Time in swagger-faker when dateType='string'

[rwhendry]

What is the problem this feature would solve?

Currently the implementation for both Date and Time in swagger-faker is

date: (type: 'date' | 'string' = 'string') => (type === 'string' ? 'faker.date.anytime().toString()' : 'faker.date.anytime()'),
time: (type: 'date' | 'string' = 'string') => (type === 'string' ? 'faker.date.anytime().toString()' : 'faker.date.anytime()'),

Which gives Date and Time format with type string will produce datetime format like 2022-07-31T01:33:29.567Z.

The enhancement that I requested is to have Date and Time format with type string will produce ISO8601 string where forDate it will looks like 2022-07-31 and Time 01:33:29.567

Without something like dayjs or date temporal, it will be hard and I am not sure if Kubb should require a developer also to install something like dayjs. It's possible with Javascript but that will require a couple of extra lines of code to add and maintain.

If that is the case, then what do you think about adding config on the swagger-faker config so users can define the function manually. For example user can define the date to be

date: moment(faker.date.anytime()).format("YYYY-MM-DD")

Or is there any alternative/suggestion?

@rwhendry I will add a new option called dateParse where you could set it to dayjs or moment.

Behind the scenes Kubb will add the import and use

• dayjs(faker.date.anytime()).format("YYYY-MM-DD") for format:date
• dayjs(faker.date.anytime()).format("HH:mm:ss") for format time.
