I'm still new to programming, and am having trouble converting this date. I'm using ajax with a chat application, and pull the date from SQL Server database record but can't seem to convert it. The line of code getting the date is simply:
var timeStart = results.d[i].CreateDate;
the result I get is: /Date(1365692153250)/
I tried adding 'new Date( )' before, and/or '.format(MMMM ...)' after. This is probably an easy one, but I've looked all over. Please let me know if any additional info is needed. Thanks.
I think this question and answers will help you:
Convert a Unix timestamp to time in JavaScript
You just need to convert your timestamp.
Good luck.
You will want to construct a Date() and use the getters to build up the format.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date
For passing in a format, you will want to include your own library, here is one solution for generating it:

Thanks #mattmanser for this thread, which answered my question... Converting .NET DateTime to JSON
Solution:
var timeStart = results.d[i].CreateDate.replace(/\/Date\((-?\d+)\)\//, '$1');
var d = new Date(parseInt(timeStart));
I hate to 'answer my own question' but want to provide the solution to anyone else who may need it.

Why does Date.parse give incorrect results?

I'm working on legacy system and in DB the birthday is coming this way '1992-05-18' in json. I am using AngularJS and when applying the data binding of this variable in an input type = "date", of an update form, it is necessary to instantiate a Date object. Like this:
//person.byrthday = '1992-04-26'
var person.birthday = new Date (person.birthday);
// after person.byrthday = '1992-04-25T00:00:00.000Z'
How can I solve this problem through Front End in an elegant way, without "breaking" two way data binding?
I find myself in Brasil UTC -03:00
There are a few ways to solve this problem. A quick and dirty solution could be to leverage moment.js. You can convert the response from the API to a true date format this way.
If you don't want to use an additionally library, you can make a function to parse the date string. You can do the following to parse is to become a correct date:
var dateSplit = person.birthday.split('-');
var mydate = new Date(dateSplit[0], dateSplit[1] - 1, dateSplit[2]);
person.birthday= mydate;
Take note that the month index starts at 0 (aka January=0). Hopefully this helps.
I have a regular date i.e.:
date= 03-12-2014
I need to convert it to JSON or .Net date format. Like this:
"\/Date(1283219926108)\/"
I can see a lot of posts that go from JSON date to regular date but not backward. Please let me know how to do it. I am hoping for some easy JavaScript way to do it.
Do you know/Have you tried (new Date).getTime()
That's the most easiest "cross-browser" solution I know of ...
In your situation something like:
(new Date(date)).getTime()
It's a little bit vague to see what the difference is between .net- and javascript code.
Can you point it out more clearly?
Take a look at this little jQuery file. https://gist.github.com/gigi81/1868478
It does date parsing for .NET.
I am parsing 2 different date strings
var d1 = '2014-02-01T00:00:00.000+0530'
var d2 = '2014-02-23T00:00:00.000+0530'
when i parse them using moment
alert(moment(d1, 'YYYY-MM-dd"T"HH:mm:ss.fffffff"Z"').toDate());
alert(moment(d2, 'YYYY-MM-dd"T"HH:mm:ss.fffffff"Z"').toDate());
both of them print Sat Feb 1 2014 xxxxx
what is wrong with it??
here is the link to the fiddle i created
jsfiddle
I think your moment formatting string is causing you the problem. If I remove this, the dates do not print as the same.
http://jsfiddle.net/K5ub8/7/
EDIT: The specific issue is you are using dd for day, instead of DD. http://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string-format/
Here is your fiddle fixed:
http://jsfiddle.net/K5ub8/9/
However, I am not 100% sure about the fractional seconds, I believe it is SSS instead of fffffff but I would test this if you need to cater for fractional seconds.
I should mention that if you are converting it back into a JavaScript date object anyway with toDate(), then you don't really need the moment formatting parameter as the date will be formatted in JSON Date format.
I would question why you would want to generate a moment formatted date, and then convert it back to JavaScript, a normal practice might be to receive a date in JavaScript format, then create a moment object which you can use to perform calculations and display in a nice user friendly way.
Simple answer: your format was off a bit.
http://jsfiddle.net/K5ub8/8/
After tweaking the format to be 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSZZ' rather than 'YYYY-MM-dd"T"HH:mm:ss.fffffff"Z"' it worked just fine. When you're trying to debug issues like this, it's always good to keep the format in a separate variable so you can use the same format that you're trying to parse out to display what you're getting. Had you done that, you would have noticed that 'YYYY-MM-dd"T"HH:mm:ss.fffffff"Z"' was messed up due to it printing out 2014-01-Fr"T"11:32:03.fffffff"-08:00". Which obviously isn't quite right.
In the same spirit as discussed here, is there a recommended way to generate / parse dates from within a bash script so that it can be interfaced to Javascript Date?
To be precise, I get this strings when doing json encoding of a Javascript Date object:
2011-10-31T10:23:47.278Z
I could put together a bash hack to generate / parse that date format, but I would prefer to avoid reinventing the wheel. Does somebody have a working solution?
I am more interested in the "generating" side: I want to generate current dates from a bash script and save them in a json document (couchdb) so that they can be automatically ordered by the view engine.
The closest I am coming is this:
date -u +"%FT%T.000Z"
Which gives this output:
2011-11-03T06:43:08.000Z
I do not like that I have to put the T, the Z and the milliseconds to 0 manually (I can use %N for nanoseconds, and truncate with sed or whatever, but seems like overkill just to get millisecond precission), and I was hoping that there would be a built-in format token for date which would produce that UTC date. I assumed - wrongly it seems - that the format is common enough that it can be specified with just one format token.
JavaScript can convert many different values into dates. Not sure if that's what you mean, but for example. Your bash could generate this string: "2011/11/10 08:08:08"
When it gets to JavaScript land you can do this
var date = new Date("2011/11/10 08:08:08")
You can also do this:
var now = 1320287813362
var date = new Date(now)

How can I convert datetime microformat to local time in javascript?
Im writing up an ajax application where i have to interpret this date "2009-09-16T11:10:00" and output another string to something more readable.
That's the ISO 8601 date format. There's an example here. If that doesn't suit your needs then a quick google search should help.
No, there isn't a built-in function for doing that. You'd have to parse it yourself. Maybe something like this:
var s = "2009-09-16T11:10:00";
var tokens = s.split(/[\-T:]/);
var date = new Date(tokens[0], tokens[1] - 1, tokens[2],
tokens[3], tokens[4], tokens[5], 0);
Then access the date string with:
alert(date.toString());
Try this js library:
http://www.datejs.com
Pretty good and recognizes different date formats. You can also test your date right on the front page.
