Convert epoch time to date string in REST call response

REST
1

I am calling Backendless REST API from Adalo mobile app platform. They have no easy way to convert epoch time to date/time string. Is it possible to have Backendless REST API return a date string in REST response, rather than epoch time?

Hello @Navjeet_Chabbewal

you can use afterFind EventHandle, here is a doc for Codeless, but it is also supported for Java and JS

I am not sure how to add event handler for REST this API call https://api.backendless.com/DA677CC1-F5D0-508E-FF76-FA621192F000/8A4A86D7-D753-41B1-9857-7E6C5C2A20C4/data/Bookings?property=Court&property=StartsAt&property=BookedBy
Can add logic to this API in Codeless? Is there a video to provide more details?
