I am receiving a JSON object from a the DarkShy weather api, and I want to access the timestamp for each report for a Chart.JS chart where I will display the temperature over day, right now I am stuck in converting the timestamp into a HH:DD:SS format.
This is what I tried
// Displays the wrong time according to https://www.epochconverter.com/
var timeofDay = new Date(daily[i].time)
time.push( timeofDay.toTimeString().split(' ')[0] )
// Gets rid off the time, tho It get the date correctly
var timeofDay = new Date(parseFloat(daily[i].time) * 1000)
time.push( timeofDay )
// Returns the wrong date and time
time.push(new Date(daily[i]))
Here's how I loop through the JSON file
let time = []
let temperatureDaily = []
for(var i=0; i<daily.length; i++){
// Push the values into the arrays
var timeofDay = new Date(parseFloat(daily[i].time) * 1000)
time.push( timeofDay )
temperatureDaily.push( (parseFloat(daily[i].temperatureHigh) + parseFloat(daily[i].temperatureLow)) /2)
}
console.log(time);
If you're only interested in the time, and it seems you want UTC, use UTC methods to format the time. Or you can use toISOString and trim the bits you don't want, e.g.
let timeValue = 1569304800;
let d = new Date(timeValue * 1000);
// Use toISOString
let hms = d.toISOString().substr(11,8);
console.log(hms);
// Manual format
function toHMS(date){
let z = n => ('0'+n).slice(-2);
return `${z(d.getUTCHours())}:${z(d.getUTCMinutes())}:${z(d.getUTCSeconds())}`
}
console.log(toHMS(d));
Try moment.js.
It gives a lot of date utilities and formatting becomes super easy.

I am using moment.js library for time.
I want to check if the time I am getting from the backend is in between 8AM to Noon (12PM). I want to store all the objects whose time is in between 8AM to 12PM.
I am getting date in this format - "2022-04-04T21:43:59Z". I want to use timezone"America/Detroit".
Here is what I have tried but this didn't work;
//this code is inside forEach loop
moment.tz.setDefault($scope.userData.account.timeZone);
var format = 'hh:mm:ss'
var time = moment(response.date,format),
beforeTime = moment('08:00:00', format),
afterTime = moment('11:59:59', format);
if (time.isBetween(beforeTime, afterTime)) {
console.log('is between')
} else {
console.log('is not between')
}
In the output I am getting is not between for all the data but in real there is some data which is having date and time falling under 8am - 12pm.
Is there anything wrong because of timezone?
The reason why your compare isn't working it's because it's not only using time but also the date.
You should first extrapolate the time from the input datetime and use that data to make the comparison like this:
let datetime = moment('2022-04-04T10:00:00Z', 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ');
moment({
hour:datetime.hour(),
minute:datetime.minute(),
second:datetime.second()
}).isBetween(beforeTime, afterTime);
//returns bool true or false
That's because all those 3 datetimes will lay in the same solar day and only time will be relevant to the comparison.
Plus you incorrectly dealt with formats when parsing both your input datetimes and times used for before and after.
This is a working solution showing the concept:
//those are the formats your input uses for datetimes and times
const datetime_format = 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ';
const time_format = 'HH:mm:ss';
//this is your input crafted as objects having the prop date
var response_timeYESInBetween = {date : "2022-04-04T10:00:00Z"};
var response_timeNOTInBetween = {date : "2022-04-04T21:43:59Z"};
//moment.tz.setDefault($scope.userData.account.timeZone);
//this is where you parse those timestamp strings as moment datetime
var datetime_YESInBetween = moment(response_timeYESInBetween.date, datetime_format);
var datetime_NOTInBetween = moment(response_timeNOTInBetween.date, datetime_format);
//this is where those moment datetime get used to create new datetimes holding those same time but laying on today instead of their original dates
var timeonly_YESinBetween = moment({hour:datetime_YESInBetween.hour(), minute:datetime_YESInBetween.minute(), second:datetime_YESInBetween.second()});
var timeonly_NOTinBetween = moment({hour:datetime_NOTInBetween.hour(), minute:datetime_NOTInBetween.minute(), second:datetime_NOTInBetween.second()});
//this is where we create datetimes (ignoring to pass the date, sets them at today)
var beforeTime = moment('08:00:00', time_format);
var afterTime = moment('11:59:59', time_format);
//we make the comparison to know which times are between beforeTime and afterTime
//note: now all those datetimes are all in the same day and only time will affect the comparison result
var firstComparison = timeonly_YESinBetween.isBetween(beforeTime, afterTime);
var secondComparison = timeonly_NOTinBetween.isBetween(beforeTime, afterTime)
console.log( firstComparison );
//outputs: true
console.log( secondComparison );
//outputs: false

And if we wanted to better factor the parts:
console.log( isBetween('2022-04-04T10:00:00Z', '08:00:00', '11:59:59') );
//true
console.log( isBetween('2022-04-04T21:43:59Z', '08:00:00', '11:59:59') );
//false
function isBetween(datetime, before, after){
const datetime_format = 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ';
const time_format = 'HH:mm:ss';
let originalDatetime = moment(datetime, datetime_format);
let transformed = moment({hour:originalDatetime.hour(), minute:originalDatetime.minute(), second:originalDatetime.second()});
var beforeTime = moment(before, time_format);
var afterTime = moment(after, time_format);
return transformed.isBetween(beforeTime, afterTime);
}

I am working on firebase cloud functions that i'm new to , using javascript. I have a need to add n number of days to a user who has renewed a subscription.
Here is part of the function
...
var sellerRef = admin.firestore().doc('sellerProfile/'+req.query.sellerId)
var seller = sellerRef.get().then(snapshot=>{
const data= snapshot.data()
var currentDate = data.subscriptionDeadline.toDate()
Date.prototype.addDays= function(d){
this.setDate(this.getDate() + d);
return this;
};
var newDate = currentDate.addDays(30);
res.send(newDate)
})
sellerRef.update({
subscriptionDeadline: Date.parse(newDate)
})
...
In that code i got the subscription deadline of an individual then used a prototype to add 30 days as a subscription renewal. How do i convert the days back to timestamp to be able to save the new subscription deadline to firestore or better if i could add the 30 days without converting the timestamp to date.
Firestore Timestamps objects don't offer any date math operations. It will be easier if you do convert the Timestamp into a Date (or something else that lets you do math), the convert back to a Timestamp.
const timestamp = data.subscriptionDeadline;
const date = timestamp.toDate();
const laterDate = new Date(date.getTime() + 30*60*60*1000);
const laterTimestamp = admin.firestore.Timestamp.fromDate(laterDate);
I'm currently working with a project where I need to find if a time in HH:mm is before another time.
I am using moment time zone and setting the time zone globally to UTC.
The date which I am comparing is: 2020-09-02T00:00:00.0000+00:00
I am running a check where I am doing the following:
const example = '2020-09-02T00:00:00.0000+00:00'
const time = moment(example)
const timeStart = moment('08:00', 'HH:mm')
console.log(time.isBefore(timeStart))
The console log returns a result of false.
The reason I believe is that the timeStart is evaluating to the current day, so it's failing due to the date being in the future. I need to stop moment from comparing the date, is there a way to do this?
What I am trying to achieve is something of the following
'00:00:00'.isBefore('08:00')
const time = moment('2020-09-02T00:00:00.0000+00:00')
const timeStart = moment('08:00', 'HH:mm')
console.log(time)
console.log(timeStart)
console.log(time.isBefore(timeStart))
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/momentjs/2.13.0/moment.min.js"></script>
You can do this with moment.js by converting the timestamp to a moment object, then cloning the object and setting its time to the required comparison time. That way you're always comparing times on the same date.
To keep everything as UTC, use utc. E.g.
let ts = '2020-09-02T00:00:00.0000+00:00';
let d = moment.utc(ts); // Invoke UTC mode
let time = '08:30';
let [h, m] = time.split(':');
let e = d.clone().hours(h).minutes(m).seconds(0).milliseconds(0);
console.log(d.format() + ' is before\n' +
e.format() + '? ' + d.isBefore(e));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.27.0/moment.min.js"></script>
You can compare just the time with plain JS fairly easily:
/**
* Compare a time to just the time part of a
* Date, all using UTC.
*
* #param {Date} date - date to compare
* #param {string} time - time in HH:mm format
* #returns {boolean} true if time in date is before time passed to function
*/
function isTimeBefore(date = new Date(), time) {
// Get time value for start of UTC day
// Copy date so don't affect original
let dayStart = new Date(+date).setUTCHours(0,0,0,0);
// Convert the time to milliseconds since midnight
let [h, m] = time.split(':');
let ms = h*3.6e6 + m*6e4;
// Compare to the date's milliseconds elapsed since midnight
return ms > (date - dayStart);
}
// UTC timestamp
let ts = '2020-09-02T00:00:00.0000+00:00';
// Convert to Date
let d = new Date(ts);
// local time
let time = '08:30';
console.log('UTC: ' + d.toISOString() + '\nis before ' + time + ' UTC? : ' + isTimeBefore(d, time));
The built–in parser should generally be avoided, however the above uses it to convert the timestamp to a Date because it's about the only supported format that is reliably parsed by browsers in use.
const time = moment('2020-09-02T00:00:00.0000+00:00')
const timeStart = moment('09:00', 'HH:mm')
time.isBefore(timeStart) //returns true
returns true to me.
All I am trying to do is this.
Let's say in Google Sheets, I have a page which has the following columns:
In column I3 I have the date of 11/30/19.
In column J3, I have Today's date of 4/30/20.
I want to be able to calculate the difference between these two dates and tell me how many months has it been since 11/30/19.
Currently, I think the code is working somewhat but the result I get is:
[20-05-02 01:43:18:650 MDT] 5 months, 6 days
[20-05-02 01:43:18:656 MDT] 5 months, 6 days
[20-05-02 01:43:18:660 MDT] 5 months, 6 days
But the date calculations are still wrong. For example from Jan 1st - Jan 25, 2020, it shows 5 month and 6 days.
Also the loop I have inside Filter 1, is just calculating the first available date and then it does this three times instead of going to the next record and calculate.
I have the following code so far:
function myFunction() {
}
var moment = Moment.load();
/**
* #summary gets date difference
* #param {Date} startDate
* #param {Date} endDate
* #returns {string}
*/
function getDuration(startDate, endDate) {
const start = moment(startDate);
const end = moment(endDate);
const units = ['years', 'months', 'days'];
const lastIndex = units.length - 1;
const parts = units
.map((unit,i) => {
const diff = Math.floor(end.diff(start, unit, true));
if (diff > 0 || i === lastIndex) {
end.subtract(unit, diff);
return `${diff} ${unit}`;
}
})
.filter(Boolean);
return parts.join(', ');
}
function Filter2() { // Calculate the Time
const spread = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
const sheets = spread.getSheets();
const [ sheet_1, sheet_2 ] = sheets;
const row = sheet_1.getRange("A:M");
const arr_col = sheet_1.getRange("I3:I50");
const lastSeen_col = sheet_1.getRange("J3:J50");
const startDate = arr_col.getValue();
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var headerRowNumber = 2;
var rows = sheet.getDataRange().offset(headerRowNumber, 0, sheet.getLastRow() - headerRowNumber).getValues();
var filter = rows.filter(row => row[9] !== '');
// var digest = filter[0][9];
for(var i=0;i<filter.length; i++){
var res = getDuration(startDate, lastSeen_col);
Logger.log(res);
}
}
Why Dec, 31 1969
31st of December, 1969 in GMT-7 timezone offset is January 1st, 1970 00:00:00 UTC, which is the unix epoch. Therefore it is likely to be caused by an invalid date format passed to the Moment class instance.
Problem
getRange() method call returns an instance of Range from which you have to extract value via getValue() / getValues() before being able to use it. With that in mind, let's track what's going on in your script:
var ArrRow = sheet_1.getRange("I3:I") returns an instance of Range
mydata1 is defined somewhere globally (let's assume it holds an instance of Date)
getDuration is thus called like this: getDuration( <Range>, <Date> )
startDate and endDate are respectively an instance of Range and Date
start and end hold results of invoking the moment factory that creates a wrapper around Date object.
Step 5 is most likely to be the culprit, as per Moment library docs, moment() can accept String, Number, Date instances as well as format options, but start recieves a Range instance instead.
Possible solution
First, you need to ensure you pass in correct types (this why a lot of folks prefer TypeScript - if that's not your cup of tea, at least start using JSDoc - it will save you a ton of debug time).
I don't know how big the I3:I range is, so I assumed from the context that it is a single cell containing start date. Also note that I removed the var sld = new Date(dateString) assignment since you return a human readable string from getDuration() of format Y years, M months, D days which is not a dateString that Date constructor can accept.
Additionally, I would suggest changing forEach() to map() method for cleaner and less side effect prone code. General rule of thumb is that if input and output are of the same type, you likely want to use a mapping function.
function myFunction() {
Filter2();
}
function Filter2() {
const spread = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
const sheets = spread.getSheets();
const [ sheet_1, sheet_2 ] = sheets;
const arr_col = sheet_1.getRange("I3:I");
const startDate = arr_col.getValue();
var dateString = getDuration(startDate, mydata1);
Logger.log(dateString);
}
var moment = Moment.load();
/**
* #summary gets date difference
* #param {Date} startDate
* #param {Date} endDate
* #returns {string}
*/
function getDuration(startDate, endDate) {
const start = moment(startDate);
const end = moment(endDate);
const units = ['years', 'months', 'days'];
const lastIndex = units.length - 1;
const parts = units
.map((unit,i) => {
const diff = Math.floor(end.diff(start, unit, true));
if (diff > 5 || i === lastIndex) {
end.subtract(unit, diff);
return `${diff} ${unit}`;
}
})
.filter(Boolean);
return parts.join(', ');
}
Notes
The answer assumes you use V8 engine (if you don't - switch to it, old one will be deprecated some time in the future, and as a bonus you get to use all the juciest language features [well, most of them]).

So I am trying to make a post request to an API, and one of the values required is a date that according to there documentation should be in the following format
Start time of the timesheet, in ISO 8601 format
(YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm). Time should reflect the user's local time.
But when I try to make a new Date().toISOString() value in the ISO format I get this
2019-07-17T19:50:08.057Z
So I guess my question is, how can I produce the supposed format that they are looking for which is apparently a different ISO 8601 format? Or what would be the format for the following timestamp?
2018-07-25T13:10:23-07:00
here is the documentation to the api that I am playing around with https://tsheetsteam.github.io/api_docs/#create-timesheets
Your question is similar to Javascript date format like ISO but local but you want the timezone also, so:
function toISOLocal(date) {
// Pad single digit numbers with leading zero
function z(n){return (n<10?'0':'')+n}
// Copy the input date
var d = new Date(date);
// Get offset and adjust
var offset = d.getTimezoneOffset();
d.setMinutes(d.getMinutes() - offset);
// Build timestamp with adjusted date and local offset
var sign = offset < 0? '+' : '-';
offset = Math.abs(offset);
var offsetStr = sign + z(offset/60|0) + ':' + z(offset%60);
return d.toISOString().replace(/z$/i, offsetStr);
}
console.log(toISOLocal(new Date()));
However I suspect you can get by with the built–in toISOString and just replace the trailing Z with +00:00. You might need to remove the decimal seconds part also:
function modifyISO(d) {
return d.toISOString().replace(/\.\d+/, '').replace(/z$/i,'+00:00');
}
console.log(modifyISO(new Date()));
Just remove the tail. Something like this.
console.log(new Date().toISOString().replace(/(.+)(\..+?$)/g,'$1'));
You need set location time to make reference to meridian 0 + or - , you can set with library like momentjs, basically you set a reference to compare
var newYork = moment.tz("2014-06-01 12:00", "America/New_York");
var losAngeles = newYork.clone().tz("America/Los_Angeles");
var london = newYork.clone().tz("Europe/London");
newYork.format(); // 2014-06-01T12:00:00-04:00
losAngeles.format(); // 2014-06-01T09:00:00-07:00
london.format(); // 2014-06-01T17:00:00+01:00
