How to Output Edm.DateTime Without Time?

Question

<m:Text text="{
  path: 'Begda',
  type: 'sap.ui.model.type.DateTime',
  formatOptions: {
    style: 'short'
  },
  constraints: {
    nullable: true,
    displayFormat: 'Date'
  }
}"/>

From the documentation I understood that I should use displayFormat: 'Date' to show the date only. The expected output is a localized display of day/month/year (or in another localized order).

The output that I get is 17/08/16 02:00.

You were very close. In order to display the date only..:

Same as this question, you need to replace the regular type with the odata type: ~~sap.ui.model.type.DateTime~~ --> sap.ui.model.odata.type.DateTime.

This class represents the OData V2 primitive type Edm.DateTime.
And then use this constraint, as mentioned here:
```
constraints: {
  displayFormat: 'Date'
}
```
About the displayFormat: 'Date':

In this case, only the date part is used, the time part is always 00:00:00, and the time zone is UTC to avoid time-zone-related problems.

Specify the pattern property and change the type property for sap.ui.model.type.Date:

<Text text="{path: '/someDate',
            type: 'sap.ui.model.type.Date',
            formatOptions: {
                source: {
                    pattern: 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.AAAZ'   <-- Source property is optional
                },
            pattern: 'yyyy/MM/dd'
            }
        }" />
