I would like help to update this date.js code to remove the document.write statements as it is now obsolete
if (Date.parse(document.lastModified) != 0) {
var modiDate = new Date(document.lastModified);
var monthName = new Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May",
"June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
document.write(monthName[modiDate.getMonth()] + " ");
document.write(modiDate.getDate() + ", " + modiDate.getFullYear());
}
What do I put in place of document.write(...... please
the javascript code produces a (File) Updated on September 12, 2019 at the bottom of the web page via this code snipit
<p>Updated <script type="text/javascript" src="/public/jsscripts/date.js"> </script>
Thanks Mark
You can use insertAdjacentHTML, which is the closest equivalent replacement of document.write together with currentScript to get the HTML element of the script, that's being evaluated.
<p>Updated
<script>
var modiDate = new Date(document.lastModified);
var monthName = new Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May",
"June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
var text = monthName[modiDate.getMonth()] + " ";
text += modiDate.getDate() + ", " + modiDate.getFullYear();
document.currentScript.insertAdjacentHTML('afterend', text);
</script>
</p>
Something like this maybe.
It'll update all elements with the class documentLastModified.
<p>Updated <span class="documentLastModified" /></p>
<script>
var modiDate = new Date(document.lastModified);
[].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.documentLastModified')).forEach((el) => {
el.innerHTML = modiDate.toDateString();
});
</script>
Use getElementById and toLocaleDateString
// date.js
document.getElementById('updated-date').textContent = new Date().toLocaleDateString('en-US', { /* new Date(document.lastModified)... */
month: 'long',
day: 'numeric',
year: 'numeric'
})
<p>Updated <span id="updated-date"></span></p>

I have a date like 2019-02-01. how can I change it to February 2019?
You can just do this:
const monthNames = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
"July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
];
const d = new Date("2019/02/01");
const dateString = `${monthNames[d.getMonth()]} ${d.getFullYear()}`;
console.log(dateString);
This will return the month in English, no matter the system's language.
Note that you should use new Date("2019/02/01") (with slashes) to specify a date in your timezone. If you use new Date("2019-02-01"), then it will assume UTC time, and weird stuff will happen (see this answer for more info on this).
const d = new Date("2019/02/01");
const m = d.toLocaleString('default', { month: 'long' });
console.log(m, d.getFullYear());
/* you can use the following code to convert date to the required format. */
var todaysDate = new Date();
var months = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
var formatted_date = months[todaysDate.getMonth()] + " " + todaysDate.getDate() + " " + todaysDate.getFullYear();
I have an array of strings that are actually dates in the form of 201001 ,201002. I would like to convert those array items to something like 2010 January, 2010 February. Is there any way to do this.
var Array = ["201005", "201006", "201007", "201008", "201009", "201010", "201011", "201012", "201101", "201102", "201103", "201104", "201106", "201107", "201108", "201109", "201110", "201111", "201112", "201201", "201202", "201203", "201204", "201205", "201206", "201207", "201208", "201209", "201210", "201211", "201212", "201301", "201302", "201303", "201304", "201305", "201306", "201307"];
I'm looking for an array like :
var expected = ["2010 january", "2010 February" etc]
You could do this:
const monthMap = {
"01": "January",
"02": "February",
"03": "March",
"04": "April",
"05": "May",
"06": "June",
"07": "July",
"08": "August",
"09": "September",
"10": "October",
"11": "November",
"12": "December"
};
xAxisArray = xAxisArray.map(axis => {
const year = axis.substring(0, 4);
const month = axis.substring(4, 6);
return `${year} ${monthMap[month]}`;
});
Or you could use moment, but that might be overkill.
You can try my code
function formatDate(date) {
var monthNames = [
"January", "February", "March",
"April", "May", "June", "July",
"August", "September", "October",
"November", "December"
];
var monthIndex = date.getMonth();
var year = date.getFullYear();
return year + ' ' + monthNames[monthIndex];
}
var result = xAxisArray.map(item => {
var strDate = item.slice(0, 4) + '-' + item.slice(4, 6) + '-01'
return formatDate(new Date(strDate))
})
console.log(result)
This is a demo: https://codepen.io/phuongnm153/pen/xxKgKYp
You can try the following code:
var xAxisArray = ["201005", "201006", "201007", "201008", "201009", "201010", "201011", "201012", "201101", "201102", "201103", "201104", "201106", "201107", "201108", "201109", "201110", "201111", "201112", "201201", "201202", "201203", "201204", "201205", "201206", "201207", "201208", "201209", "201210", "201211", "201212", "201301", "201302", "201303", "201304", "201305", "201306", "201307"];
//Array to link month number to name
const monthNames = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
"July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
];
//Result array
var formattedArray = [];
//Loop through the old array and push the formatted date to the new array
xAxisArray.forEach(function(element) {
var formatted = element.substr(0,4) + '-' + element.substr(4); //Add the dash between year and month
var date = new Date(formatted); //Create date object
var year = date.getFullYear(); //Get the year
var month = date.getMonth(); //Get the month
formattedArray.push(year + ' ' + monthNames[month]);
});
console.log(formattedArray);
First, create a date from the string. Then convert that date to the desired format and last add the new formatted string to a new array.
If you want to have the full name of the month, and not just the first three letter, you need to have them somewhere, for example:
const MONTHS = [
"January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
"July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
];
Then you can simply have:
const format = (value) => {
// assuming the format is 4 digits followed by 2 digits
const [, year, month] = value.match(/(\d{4})(\d{2})/);
return `${year} ${MONTHS[month - 1]}`
}
Then you can map your array such as:
const expected = xAxisArray.map(format);
Hope it helps!
You can get your answer by following approach .
xAxisArray.forEach(function(value , index){
var last2 = value.slice(-2);
const date = new Date(value.slice(4), last2); // 2009-11-10
const month = date.toLocaleString('default', { month: 'long' });
xAxisArray[index] = value.substring(0,4) +" "+ month;
});
Your problem will get solve .
You can use moment library for this:
const result = xAxisArray.map(item => {
const year = item.substring(0,4)
const month = item.substring(4,2)
return moment(`01/${month}/${year}`).format('YYYY MMMM')
})
console.log(result)
By using moment.js libary you can convert , use below expression convert it
moment("your value").format("YYYY MMM");
ex:moment(201005).format("YYYY MMM");
I am trying to display current date by finding string and replacing with current date, its working fine, but additionally I want to display another date where if string has some comma seprated value then it will add to the current date and will display accodrdingly, So lets say if I add (,30) in string it will add 30 days additional in current date and display
var setCurrentDate = function() {
var disclaimerStr = $(".dynamic-date").html(),
currDateStr = "{currentdate}",
date = new Date(),

"July",
"August",
"September",
"October",
"November",
"December"
],
currDate =
months[date.getMonth()] +
" " +
date.getDate() +
", " +
date.getFullYear(),
newDisclaimerStr;
if (disclaimerStr.indexOf(currDateStr) != -1) {
newDisclaimerStr = disclaimerStr.replace(currDateStr, currDate);
$(".dynamic-date").html(newDisclaimerStr);

var reg = new RegExp(/\{currentdate(,(\d+))\}/);
var currDateStr2 = '{currentdate,30}'; // you need to change here!
var days = parseInt(reg.exec(currDateStr2)[2], 10);
console.log(days) //30
var date2 = new Date();

This question already has answers here:
Where can I find documentation on formatting a date in JavaScript?
(39 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I'm getting date value from jQuery BeatPicker like "14/07/2014", I need to format this value as "July 14, 2014".
Is there any easy way to achieve this using javascript/jQuery/plugin?
Thanks
If you wanted to stick with pure Javascript
function formatDate(dateString){
var monthNames = new Array("January", "February", "March",
"April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September",
"October", "November", "December");
var dateArray = dateString.split("/");
var month = monthNames[dateArray[1]-1];
var day = dateArray[0];
var year = dateArray[2];
return month + " " + day + ", " + year;
}
var text = "14/07/2014";
var output = text.replace(/(\d\d)\/(\d\d)\/(\d\d\d\d)/, function($0, $1, $2, $3) {
var monthNames = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
return monthNames[parseInt($2, 10) - 1] + " " + $1 + ", " + $3;
});
Totally untested, and yes - the regex is messy (should use curly brackets however this reads more easily), but should work about right...
Trying to show the date on the webpage as "Wednesday, January 22, 2014" Instead I am getting a undefined, January 22, 2014.
What am I missing?
<p>Today's date is: <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var days = new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday");
var months = new Array(
"January", "February", "March", "April",
"May", "June", "July", "August", "September",
"October", "November", "December");
var currentTime = new Date();
var month = currentTime.getMonth();
var day = currentTime.getDate();
var year = currentTime.getFullYear();
document.write(days[day] + ", " + months[month] + " " + day + ", " + year);
//-->
</script>
not that you've asked but what about using moment.js
Nevermind. Should have tried one more thing:
<p>Today's date is: <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var days = new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday");
var months = new Array(
"January", "February", "March", "April",
"May", "June", "July", "August", "September",
"October", "November", "December");
var currentTime = new Date();
var today = currentTime.getDay();
var month = currentTime.getMonth();
var day = currentTime.getDate();
var year = currentTime.getFullYear();
document.write(days[today] + ", " + months[month] + " " + day + ", " + year);
//-->
</script>
