i am trying to convert a string into date type.i am giving the string value to new date().
but it's returning next day date instead of date which i am trying to convert.
var endDate = new Date("2017-03-23T23:59:59.000Z");
//end date value is now ------ Fri Mar 24 2017 05:29:59 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time).
Please suggest me how can get correct date in the format MM/DD/YYYY
This hack can help you,
var endDate = new Date("2017-03-23T23:59:59.000Z").toISOString();
it will give you,
"2017-03-23T23:59:59.000Z"
Further if you want to convert it to DD/MM/YYYY then you can use native javascript or lib like moment for that,
This simpile js will help to convert it to any format.
var endDate = new Date("2017-03-23T23:59:59.000Z").toISOString();
var d1 = endDate.split('T'); //spliting date from T
var d2 = d1[0].split('-'); //getting date part
console.log('yyyy/MM/dd', d2[0] + "/" + d2[1] + "/" + d2[2]) //YYYY/MM/DD
console.log("DD/MM/YYYY", d2[2] + "/" + d2[1] + "/" + d2[0])

if your time is in IST use below
var endDate = new Date("2017-03-23T23:59:59.00+0530");
If you check dates, you will see that your dates differs in 5h 30 mins, that is same as your date saying GMT +0530. Your original date has .000Z that is time zone of GMT +0.
Make sure you use same time zone when working with date.
Try using Date.UTC('your date')
JavaScript Date objects carry no timezone information. The only reason you saw a non-UTC date is that the browser chooses by default to display dates as local time in the console. If you don't care about the date object aligning with the exact instant in local time, you can use the following format function to turn it into MM/DD/YYYY format:
function format (date) {
var mm = ('0' + (date.getUTCMonth() + 1)).slice(-2)
var dd = ('0' + date.getUTCDate()).slice(-2)
var yyyy = date.getUTCFullYear()
return mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy
}
var endDate = new Date("2017-03-23T23:59:59.000Z")
console.log(endDate.toISOString())
console.log(format(endDate))

Currently the input is "12 09 2016 00:00:00" and should assume it is in inputted as GMT date and time. But rather, it accepts it as local and converts it as such. And when it is turned to ISOString(), it converts it to GMT, and adds the time difference.
How can I take an input in "12 09 2016 00:00:00" format, take it as GMT/UTC, and do .toISOString() to turn it into the ISO format, "2016-12-09T00:00:00.000Z"?
var dateAndTime = new Date("12 09 2016 00:00:00")
//Returns: "Fri Dec 09 2016 00:00:00 GMT-0800 (PST)"
//Want it to return: "Fri Dec 09 2016 00:00:00 (GMT)"
var gmtDateAndTime = dateAndTime.toISOString();
//Returns: "2016-12-09T08:00:00.000Z"
//Want it to return: "2016-12-09T00:00:00.000Z"

It seems you just want to reformat the string, so just do that:
// Reformat string in MM DD YYYY HH:mm:ss format to
// ISO 8601 UTC
function formatDateStringISO(s) {
var b = s.split(/\D/);
return b[2] + '-' + b[0] + '-' + b[1] +
'T' + b[3] + ':' + b[4] + ':' + b[5] + '.000Z';
}
console.log(formatDateStringISO('12 09 2016 00:00:00'))
If you want to parse the string to a Date then output an ISO 8601 format string, do that:
// Parse string in MM DD YYYY HH:mm:ss format
// If date string is invalid, returns an invalid Date
function parseDateAsUTC(s) {
var b = s.split(/\D/);
var d = new Date(Date.UTC(b[2], --b[0], b[1], b[3], b[4], b[5]));
// Validate date
return d && d.getMonth() == b[0]? d : new Date(NaN);
}
// Valid date Invalid date
['12 09 2016 00:00:00', '12 34 2016 00:00:00'].forEach(function(s) {
var d = parseDateAsUTC(s);
console.log(s + ' => ' + d[isNaN(d)? 'toString' : 'toISOString']());
});
You need to use another Date constructor. The default constructor creates time in your local timezone.
Replace this:
var dateAndTime = new Date("12 09 2016 00:00:00")
With this:
var dateAndTime = new Date(Date.UTC(2016, 09, 12, 0, 0, 0));
If you can't convert your string ("12 09 2016 00:00:00") manually to the individual UTC parameters, you can use this (but unreliable especially in IE):
var utcDate = Date.parse("12 09 2016 00:00:00");
Do not use Date to parse happenstance date strings. Date.parse only works in a well defined manner when the input is an ISO8061 string.
From "15.9.4.2 Date.parse" in the ECMA 5 standard:
The function first attempts to parse the format of the String according to the rules called out in Date Time String Format (15.9.1.15). If the String does not conform to that format the function may fall back to any implementation-specific heuristics or implementation-specific date formats.
and from 15.9.1.15 the string format recognized is
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ
which looks very much the ISO string you want to arrive at, not start with.
Alternative choices to solve the issue might include:
write your own function to parse a user input string. Has the problem that "12 09 2016" could mean "Dec 9 2016" or "Sep 12 2016" depending on user locale.
Use a date and time library. Moment.js is frequently mentioned in SO answers regarding such libraries.
Use the output of a date picker or validated data from a data base. Avoids issues with locale dependent formats.
Hard code conversion to ISO8061 format without parsing may be an option if the input string is absolutely guaranteed to be in "mm dd yyyy hh:mm:ss" format, as for example using
function isoFromZ( str) {
return str.substr(6,4) + "-" +
str.substr(0,2) + "-" +
str.substr(3,2) + "T" +
str.substring(11) + ".000Z";
}
In summary extract the UTC date and time components from a custom input string before creating a Date object. If extraction produced an ISO8061 date string it can be passed directly to the Date constructor as a parameter.
Date from datetimepicker have format:
var currentDate = new Date(); currentDate = Thu Jul 14 2016 09:10:04 GMT+0200 (Środkowoeuropejski czas letni) {}
And this date have methods like .getFullYear() etc.
But when I send it to my API where this date is DateTime and send back it to frontend it look that 2016-07-22T22:00:00Z and it doesn't have methods like .getFullYear() etc.
That is problem for me. I need detect if the date is formatted yyyy-mm-ddThh-mm-ssZ and convert it to the first format.
How I can do it? I can't use momentjs.
format your date string in javascript
var date = new Date();
var day = date.getDay();
var month = date.getMonth();
var year = date.getFullYear();
var hour = date.getHours();
var minute = date.getMinutes();
var second = date.getSeconds();
var datetime= day + "/" + month + "/" + year + " " + hour + ':' + minute + ':' + second;
Then in c#
DateTime.ParseExact(DatetimeString , "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Why you do not use this:
http://momentjs.com/
this allows all sorts if formatting and its safer to use due to incorrect dates possible
var a = moment('2016-01-01');
var b = a.add(1, 'week');
a.format();
"2016-01-08T00:00:00-06:00"
moment().format("MMM Do YY"); // Jul 14th 16
Use standard format yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss
You're possibly receiving a string from your API. So you have to parse it back to Date object
var newDateObject = new Date(dateStringFromAPI);
Then you can access newDateObject.getDay() newDateObject.getFullYear() etc
as you are using AngularJS you can simply format date with Angular's date filter https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/filter/date
Good day to you!
Looks like the front-end doesn't parse the API-dataset to create a date-object (no date-object—no date-methods)—here is a solution:
Enable date-parsing on the front-end;
If needed, apply a date-time format on API output (MSDN-articles: Date and Time Format Strings—Standard and Custom);
Send the API-processed data to the front-end.
From the server I get a datetime variable in this format: 6/29/2011 4:52:48 PM and it is in UTC time. I want to convert it to the current user’s browser time zone using JavaScript.
How this can be done using JavaScript or jQuery?
Append 'UTC' to the string before converting it to a date in javascript:
var date = new Date('6/29/2011 4:52:48 PM UTC');
date.toString() // "Wed Jun 29 2011 09:52:48 GMT-0700 (PDT)"
In my point of view servers should always in the general case return a datetime in the standardized ISO 8601-format.
More info here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
IN this case the server would return '2011-06-29T16:52:48.000Z' which would feed directly into the JS Date object.
var utcDate = '2011-06-29T16:52:48.000Z'; // ISO-8601 formatted date returned from server
var localDate = new Date(utcDate);
The localDate will be in the right local time which in my case would be two hours later (DK time).
You really don't have to do all this parsing which just complicates stuff, as long as you are consistent with what format to expect from the server.
This is an universal solution:
function convertUTCDateToLocalDate(date) {
var newDate = new Date(date.getTime()+date.getTimezoneOffset()*60*1000);
var offset = date.getTimezoneOffset() / 60;
var hours = date.getHours();
newDate.setHours(hours - offset);
return newDate;
}
Usage:
var date = convertUTCDateToLocalDate(new Date(date_string_you_received));
Display the date based on the client local setting:
date.toLocaleString();
For me above solutions didn't work.
With IE the UTC date-time conversion to local is little tricky.
For me, the date-time from web API is '2018-02-15T05:37:26.007' and I wanted to convert as per local timezone so I used below code in JavaScript.
var createdDateTime = new Date('2018-02-15T05:37:26.007' + 'Z');
You should get the (UTC) offset (in minutes) of the client:
var offset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset();
And then do the correspondent adding or substraction to the time you get from the server.
Hope this helps.
This works for me:
function convertUTCDateToLocalDate(date) {
var newDate = new Date(date.getTime() - date.getTimezoneOffset()*60*1000);
return newDate;
}
Put this function in your head:
<script type="text/javascript">
function localize(t)
{
var d=new Date(t+" UTC");
document.write(d.toString());
}
</script>
Then generate the following for each date in the body of your page:
<script type="text/javascript">localize("6/29/2011 4:52:48 PM");</script>
To remove the GMT and time zone, change the following line:
document.write(d.toString().replace(/GMT.*/g,""));
This is a simplified solution based on Adorjan Princ´s answer:
function convertUTCDateToLocalDate(date) {
var newDate = new Date(date);
newDate.setMinutes(date.getMinutes() - date.getTimezoneOffset());
return newDate;
}
or simpler (though it mutates the original date):
function convertUTCDateToLocalDate(date) {
date.setMinutes(date.getMinutes() - date.getTimezoneOffset());
return date;
}
Usage:
var date = convertUTCDateToLocalDate(new Date(date_string_you_received));
After trying a few others posted here without good results, this seemed to work for me:
convertUTCDateToLocalDate: function (date) {
return new Date(Date.UTC(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate(), date.getHours(), date.getMinutes(), date.getSeconds()));
}
And this works to go the opposite way, from Local Date to UTC:
convertLocalDatetoUTCDate: function(date){
return new Date(date.getUTCFullYear(), date.getUTCMonth(), date.getUTCDate(), date.getUTCHours(), date.getUTCMinutes(), date.getUTCSeconds());
}
Add the time zone at the end, in this case 'UTC':
theDate = new Date( Date.parse('6/29/2011 4:52:48 PM UTC'));
after that, use toLocale()* function families to display the date in the correct locale
theDate.toLocaleString(); // "6/29/2011, 9:52:48 AM"
theDate.toLocaleTimeString(); // "9:52:48 AM"
theDate.toLocaleDateString(); // "6/29/2011"
if you have
"2021-12-28T18:00:45.959Z" format
you can use this in js :
// myDateTime is 2021-12-28T18:00:45.959Z
myDate = new Date(myDateTime).toLocaleDateString('en-US');
// myDate is 12/28/2021
myTime = new Date(myDateTime).toLocaleTimeString('en-US');
// myTime is 9:30:45 PM
you just have to put your area string instead of "en-US" (e.g. "fa-IR").
also you can use options for toLocaleTimeString like { hour: '2-digit', minute: '2-digit' }
myTime = new Date(myDateTime).toLocaleTimeString('en-US',{ hour: '2-digit', minute: '2-digit' });
// myTime is 09:30 PM
more information for toLocaleTimeString and toLocaleDateString
Matt's answer is missing the fact that the daylight savings time could be different between Date() and the date time it needs to convert - here is my solution:
function ConvertUTCTimeToLocalTime(UTCDateString)
{
var convertdLocalTime = new Date(UTCDateString);
var hourOffset = convertdLocalTime.getTimezoneOffset() / 60;
convertdLocalTime.setHours( convertdLocalTime.getHours() + hourOffset );
return convertdLocalTime;
}
And the results in the debugger:
UTCDateString: "2014-02-26T00:00:00"
convertdLocalTime: Wed Feb 26 2014 00:00:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)
Use this for UTC and Local time convert and vice versa.
//Covert datetime by GMT offset
//If toUTC is true then return UTC time other wise return local time
function convertLocalDateToUTCDate(date, toUTC) {
date = new Date(date);
//Local time converted to UTC
console.log("Time: " + date);
var localOffset = date.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000;
var localTime = date.getTime();
if (toUTC) {
date = localTime + localOffset;
} else {
date = localTime - localOffset;
}
date = new Date(date);
console.log("Converted time: " + date);
return date;
}
In case you don't mind usingmoment.js and your time is in UTC just use the following:
moment.utc('6/29/2011 4:52:48 PM').toDate();
if your time is not in utc but any other locale known to you, then use following:
moment('6/29/2011 4:52:48 PM', 'MM-DD-YYYY', 'fr').toDate();
if your time is already in local, then use following:
moment('6/29/2011 4:52:48 PM', 'MM-DD-YYYY');
To me the simplest seemed using
datetime.setUTCHours(datetime.getHours());
datetime.setUTCMinutes(datetime.getMinutes());
(i thought the first line could be enough but there are timezones which are off in fractions of hours)
This is what I'm doing to convert UTC to my Local Time:
const dataDate = '2020-09-15 07:08:08'
const utcDate = new Date(dataDate);
const myLocalDate = new Date(Date.UTC(
utcDate.getFullYear(),
utcDate.getMonth(),
utcDate.getDate(),
utcDate.getHours(),
utcDate.getMinutes()
));
document.getElementById("dataDate").innerHTML = dataDate;
document.getElementById("myLocalDate").innerHTML = myLocalDate;
<p>UTC<p>
<p id="dataDate"></p>
<p>Local(GMT +7)<p>
<p id="myLocalDate"></p>
Result: Tue Sep 15 2020 14:08:00 GMT+0700 (Indochina Time).
Using YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss format :
var date = new Date('2011-06-29T16:52:48+00:00');
date.toString() // "Wed Jun 29 2011 09:52:48 GMT-0700 (PDT)"
For converting from the YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss format, make sure your date follow the ISO 8601 format.
Year:
YYYY (eg 1997)
Year and month:
YYYY-MM (eg 1997-07)
Complete date:
YYYY-MM-DD (eg 1997-07-16)
Complete date plus hours and minutes:
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mmTZD (eg 1997-07-16T19:20+01:00)
Complete date plus hours, minutes and seconds:
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD (eg 1997-07-16T19:20:30+01:00)
Complete date plus hours, minutes, seconds and a decimal fraction of a second
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sTZD (eg 1997-07-16T19:20:30.45+01:00) where:
YYYY = four-digit year
MM = two-digit month (01=January, etc.)
DD = two-digit day of month (01 through 31)
hh = two digits of hour (00 through 23) (am/pm NOT allowed)
mm = two digits of minute (00 through 59)
ss = two digits of second (00 through 59)
s = one or more digits representing a decimal fraction of a second
TZD = time zone designator (Z or +hh:mm or -hh:mm)
Important things to note
You must separate the date and the time by a T, a space will not work in some browsers
You must set the timezone using this format +hh:mm, using a string for a timezone (ex. : 'UTC') will not work in many browsers. +hh:mm represent the offset from the UTC timezone.
A JSON date string (serialized in C#) looks like "2015-10-13T18:58:17".
In angular, (following Hulvej) make a localdate filter:
myFilters.filter('localdate', function () {
return function(input) {
var date = new Date(input + '.000Z');
return date;
};
})
Then, display local time like:
{{order.createDate | localdate | date : 'MMM d, y h:mm a' }}
For me, this works well
if (typeof date === "number") {
time = new Date(date).toLocaleString();
} else if (typeof date === "string"){
time = new Date(`${date} UTC`).toLocaleString();
}
I Answering This If Any one want function that display converted time to specific id element and apply date format string yyyy-mm-dd
here date1 is string and ids is id of element that time going to display.
function convertUTCDateToLocalDate(date1, ids)
{
var newDate = new Date();
var ary = date1.split(" ");
var ary2 = ary[0].split("-");
var ary1 = ary[1].split(":");
var month_short = Array('Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec');
newDate.setUTCHours(parseInt(ary1[0]));
newDate.setUTCMinutes(ary1[1]);
newDate.setUTCSeconds(ary1[2]);
newDate.setUTCFullYear(ary2[0]);
newDate.setUTCMonth(ary2[1]);
newDate.setUTCDate(ary2[2]);
ids = document.getElementById(ids);
ids.innerHTML = " " + newDate.getDate() + "-" + month_short[newDate.getMonth() - 1] + "-" + newDate.getFullYear() + " " + newDate.getHours() + ":" + newDate.getMinutes() + ":" + newDate.getSeconds();
}
i know that answer has been already accepted but i get here cause of google and i did solve with getting inspiration from accepted answer so i did want to just share it if someone need.
#Adorojan's answer is almost correct. But addition of offset is not correct since offset value will be negative if browser date is ahead of GMT and vice versa.
Below is the solution which I came with and is working perfectly fine for me:
// Input time in UTC
var inputInUtc = "6/29/2011 4:52:48";
var dateInUtc = new Date(Date.parse(inputInUtc+" UTC"));
//Print date in UTC time
document.write("Date in UTC : " + dateInUtc.toISOString()+"<br>");
var dateInLocalTz = convertUtcToLocalTz(dateInUtc);
//Print date in local time
document.write("Date in Local : " + dateInLocalTz.toISOString());
function convertUtcToLocalTz(dateInUtc) {
//Convert to local timezone
return new Date(dateInUtc.getTime() - dateInUtc.getTimezoneOffset()*60*1000);
}
Based on #digitalbath answer, here is a small function to grab the UTC timestamp and display the local time in a given DOM element (using jQuery for this last part):
https://jsfiddle.net/moriz/6ktb4sv8/1/
<div id="eventTimestamp" class="timeStamp">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Convert UTC timestamp to local time and display in specified DOM element
function convertAndDisplayUTCtime(date,hour,minutes,elementID) {
var eventDate = new Date(''+date+' '+hour+':'+minutes+':00 UTC');
eventDate.toString();
$('#'+elementID).html(eventDate);
}
convertAndDisplayUTCtime('06/03/2015',16,32,'eventTimestamp');
</script>
You can use momentjs ,moment(date).format() will always give result in local date.
Bonus , you can format in any way you want. For eg.
moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a'); // September 14th 2018, 12:51:03 pm
moment().format('dddd'); // Friday
moment().format("MMM Do YY");
For more details you can refer Moment js website
this worked well for me with safari/chrome/firefox :
const localDate = new Date(`${utcDate.replace(/-/g, '/')} UTC`);
I believe this is the best solution:
let date = new Date(objDate);
date.setMinutes(date.getTimezoneOffset());
This will update your date by the offset appropriately since it is presented in minutes.
tl;dr (new Date('6/29/2011 4:52:48 PM UTC')).toString()
The source string must specify a time zone or UTC.
One-liner:
(new Date('6/29/2011 4:52:48 PM UTC')).toString()
Result in one of my web browsers:
"Wed Jun 29 2011 09:52:48 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)"
This approach even selects standard/daylight time appropriately.
(new Date('1/29/2011 4:52:48 PM UTC')).toString()
Result in my browser:
"Sat Jan 29 2011 08:52:48 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)"
using dayjs library:
(new Date()).toISOString(); // returns 2021-03-26T09:58:57.156Z (GMT time)
dayjs().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss,SSS'); // returns 2021-03-26 10:58:57,156 (local time)
(in nodejs, you must do before using it: const dayjs = require('dayjs');
in other environtments, read dayjs documentation.)
This works on my side
Option 1: If date format is something like "yyyy-mm-dd" or "yyyy-mm-dd H:n:s", ex: "2021-12-16 06:07:40"
With this format It doesnt really know if its a local format or a UTC time. So since we know that the date is a UTC we have to make sure that JS will know that its a UTC. So we have to set the date as UTC.
function setDateAsUTC(d) {
let date = new Date(d);
return new Date(
Date.UTC(
date.getFullYear(),
date.getMonth(),
date.getDate(),
date.getHours(),
date.getMinutes(),
date.getSeconds()
)
);
}
and then use it
let d = "2021-12-16 06:07:40";
setDateAsUTC(d).toLocaleString();
// output: 12/16/2021, 6:07:40 AM
Options 2: If UTC date format is ISO-8601. Mostly servers timestampz format are in ISO-8601 ex: '2011-06-29T16:52:48.000Z'. With this we can just pass it to the date function and toLocaleString() function.
let newDate = "2011-06-29T16:52:48.000Z"
new Date(newDate).toLocaleString();
//output: 6/29/2011, 4:52:48 PM
In JavaScript I used:
var updaated_time= "2022-10-25T06:47:42.000Z"
{{updaated_time | date: 'dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm'}} //output: 26-10-2022 12:00
I wrote a nice little script that takes a UTC epoch and converts it the client system timezone and returns it in d/m/Y H:i:s (like the PHP date function) format:
getTimezoneDate = function ( e ) {
function p(s) { return (s < 10) ? '0' + s : s; }
var t = new Date(0);
t.setUTCSeconds(e);
var d = p(t.getDate()),
m = p(t.getMonth()+1),
Y = p(t.getFullYear()),
H = p(t.getHours()),
i = p(t.getMinutes()),
s = p(t.getSeconds());
d = [d, m, Y].join('/') + ' ' + [H, i, s].join(':');
return d;
};
