ENH: simple datetimes

Daniel Hornung requested to merge f-simple-datetimes into dev

Summary

This adds basic datetime customization to the WebUI.

  • New caosdb-f-property-datetime-value css class for special handling of datetime properties.
  • Customization is controlled (currently on on/off) via variable BUILD_MODULE_EXT_COSMETICS_CUSTOMDATETIME
  • Also new css classes caosdb-v-property-datetime-customized and caosdb-v-property-datetime-customized-newvalue.

Focus

There was a lot of cargo-cult copy&paste, please check if it made sense:

  • All the CSS classes: are they necessary?
  • Does the edit-mode handling make sense?
  • Does the previewReadyEvent hook make sense?

Test Environment

Start a server with the correct environment variable, then call this Python code to create a complex datetime property (this is more than what the edit mode currently can do):

rec = db.Record(id="316").retrieve()
rec.properties[1].value = "2023-01-02T12:34+0800"
rec.update()

Then open: https://localhost:10443/Entity/316
