datatable definition:
<lightning:datatable
keyField="id"
data="{! v.eeObject.serviceBranches }"
columns="{! v.serviceColumns }"
hideCheckboxColumn="true"/>

typeAttributes:{ month: "numeric", day: "numeric" }, cellAttributes: { alignment: 'right' }},
{label: 'Exit Date', fieldName: 'serviceExitDate', type: 'date-local',
typeAttributes:{ month: "numeric", day: "numeric" }, cellAttributes: { alignment: 'left' }}
]);
