How to convert a Date to UTC?
(34 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I want to get the Current Date object in UTC. I tried using new Date(), Date.now() etc. But they return the local time. How do I get the UTC date object?
I want the Date object, not string representation.
Just use new Date(new Date().toUTCString())
After converting to UTC, we have to again convert it into Date object if we need a Date Object.

Let's say I have a string 2021-08-13 and want to convert this to August 13, 2021. How would you achieve this as it's not a date object.
In my mind I can think of setting each numeric month to a text version of that month and re-arrange, however seeing if there are better ways of doing this.
Simple: convert the string into a Date object and use the toLocaleString function.
If you want to get rid of the timezone so the date stays the same wherever the user is you can first convert it into an ISO string, get rid of the 'Z' in the end, and then convert it back into the Date object.
const dateString = '2021-08-13'
const localeOptions = {dateStyle: 'long'}
const dateTimezone = new Date(dateString).toLocaleString('en-US', localeOptions)
const dateWithoutTimezone = new Date(new Date(dateString).toISOString().slice(0,-1)).toLocaleString('en-US', localeOptions)
console.log(dateTimezone)
console.log(dateWithoutTimezone)
Convert your string date to a JS Date Object
let strDate = "2021-08-13";
let date = new Date(strDate);
console.log(date.toDateString())

How to convert date to timestamp?

Closed 2 years ago.
i am a newcomer in javascript and have a question regarding unix timestamps in javascript.
suppose the date is "2009/11/23" or "1890-03-12" or "1890-03-12 12:23:00" or current date through "new Date()".
How to convert these dates to unix timestamps or epoch timestamps with detailed explanation ?
I am confused and have no idea about how to convert it into epoch timestamps in javascript ?
for unix timestamp
new Date('2020.08.24').getTime() / 1000
For more information go through Documentation
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date
You're probably looking for Date.parse (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse) which parses a date string to return an epoch timestamp.

You can change the timezone with the offset at the end of the date string (e.g. -05:00).
And then create the date string you want using get functions.
You will need to pad the month, day, hour and minutes. However, the .get (eg .getMonth) functions return numbers, so you will also have to convert them to strings.
For example: event.getMonth().toString().padStart(2,0);
event is your date object.
.getMonth() returns the numeric value of the month of your date object
.toString() converts that number to a string value
.padStart(2,0) will add zeros to the front of the string if it is less than 2 characters.
// Set the date with timezone offset
let event = new Date("2020-03-11T02:59:00-08:00");
// Format your string
let newEvent = `${event.getFullYear()}-${event.getMonth().toString().padStart(2,0)}-${event.getDate().toString().padStart(2,0)}T${event.getHours().toString().padStart(2,0)}:${event.getMinutes().toString().padStart(2,0)}`;
console.log(newEvent);

How can I format date from DD.MM.YY format to any other format (preferably DD/MM/YYYY) with full 4 digits year value that I can input to new Date() by using javascript?
I find similar issue but in PHP code, is there an library that can convert that in javascript?
I'm getting Invalid Date error when inputting that date format to new Date()
Vanilla JavaScript can be used to convert the date string into a Date object by calling split(",") on the string, parseInt() on each returned array item, and then adding 1900 or 2000 to the year component based on your own needs. Date() takes the year, month, and day as arguments.
Once you have a JavaScript date object, a method like this using padStart() can output the date into the DD/MM/YYYY format.

How to do that?
Unix time stamp is in seconds since epoch right? You can convert it into milliseconds (by multiplying it by 1000) and passing it to the date constructor like this to convert it to a Date object.
new Date(unixtimestamp*1000)
Then you can use the Date APIs to get parts of the date.
unix timestamp has an accuration of second, so convert to milisecond and pass to Date constructor:
var d = new Date(timestamp * 1000)
As long as it's a valid date string, you should be able to get a Date object out of it using Date.parse().
