I have a date string which coming from the db as follows
/Date(1469167371657)/
Is there any way to convert this date to following format using javascript
MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM
I've searched a lot but unble to find a solution
In plain javascript you have to write your own function for string format a date, for example for your string format:
var date = new Date(1469167371657);
function stringDate(date) {
var mm = date.getMonth()+1;
mm = (mm<10?"0"+mm:mm);
var dd = date.getDate();
dd = (dd<10?"0"+dd:dd);
var hh = date.getHours();
hh = (hh<10?"0"+hh:hh);
var min = date.getMinutes();
min = (min<10?"0"+min:min);
return mm+'/'+dd+'/'+date.getFullYear()+" "+hh+":"+min;
}
console.log(stringDate(date));
drier code version
var date = new Date(1469167371657);
function stringDate(date) {
return ("0" + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2)+'/'
+("0" + date.getDate()).slice(-2)+'/'
+date.getFullYear()+" "
+("0" + date.getHours()).slice(-2)+':'
+("0" + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2)
}
console.log(stringDate(date));
with pure js you can do the folowing
var d = new Date();
console.log(d.getMonth() + 1 + "/" + d.getDate() + "/" + d.getFullYear() + " " + d.getHours() + ":" + d.getMinutes())
You can use - http://momentjs.com/ and have it done like:
moment(1469167371657).format('MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM')
You can do this with the following steps:
1) convert the timestamp to a date object.
var timestamp = "/Date(1469167371657)/"; // However you want to save whatever comes from your database
timestamp = timestamp.substr(timestamp.indexOf("(")+1); // gives 1469167371657)/
timestamp = timestamp.substr(0,timestamp.indexOf(")")); // gives 1469167371657
var d = new Date(timestamp);
2) set it to your format
function leadZero(i) {if(i < 10) {return "0"+i;} return i;} // Simple function to convert 5 to 05 e.g.
var time = leadZero(d.getMonth()+1)+"/"+leadZero(d.getDate())+"/"+d.getFullYear()+" "+leadZero(d.getHours())+":"+leadZero(d.getMinutes());
alert(time);
Note: the date / timestamp you provided is too high for javascript to understand, so this example will not work correclty
I believe that number is milliseconds so to convert it to date, you would do this:
var time = new Date().getTime();
var date = new Date(time);
alert(date.toString()); // Wed Jan 12 2011 12:42:46 GMT-0800 (PST)
var time=1469167371657;
var date = new Date(time);
alert(date.toString());
I am pulling the some information from a stock feed. the time stamp for last update comes in like this:
2016-02-10 13:32:41
How do I format it to be like:
1:32:41pm
2/10/2016
Here is my variable declaration:
time = x[0].getElementsByTagName("LASTDATETIME")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
You could turn the string into a valid javascript date and then use the date methods to display it how you want to. For example to turn it into a javascript date, split it into its parts and then assemble.
var dateAndtime = x[0].getElementsByTagName("LASTDATETIME")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
var date = dateAndtime.split(' ')[0];
var time = dateAndtime.split(' ')[1];
var year = date.split('-')[0];
var month = date.split('-')[1]-1;
var day = date.split('-')[2];
var hour = time.split(':')[0];
var minute = time.split(':')[1];
var second = time.split(':')[2];
var d = new Date(year, month, day, hour, minute, second);
There is no need to create a Date, you can just parse and reformat the string. You have to parse the string anyway, reformatting without a Date is just more efficient.
// 2016-02-10 13:32:41 => m/dd/yyyy h:mm:ssap
function reformatDateString(s) {
var b = s.split(/\D/);
var ap = b[3] < 12? 'am':'pm';
var h = b[3]%12 || 12;
return h + ':' + b[4] + ':' + b[5] + ap +
'\n' + +b[1] + '/' + b[2] + '/' + b[0];
}
document.write(reformatDateString('2016-02-10 13:32:41').replace('\n','<br>'))
document.write('<br>');
document.write(reformatDateString('2016-12-09 03:02:09').replace('\n','<br>'))
In my datepicker the date will be inserted in mm/dd/yyyy format. But after I inserted I want it to be sent in yyyy-mm-dd format. I am using JavaScript to do this. But I wasn't able to do that. So what should I do?
Thanks & regards,

you could also use regular expressions:
var convertDate = function(usDate) {
var dateParts = usDate.split(/(\d{1,2})\/(\d{1,2})\/(\d{4})/);
return dateParts[3] + "-" + dateParts[1] + "-" + dateParts[2];
}
var inDate = "12/06/2013";
var outDate = convertDate(inDate); // 2013-12-06
The expression also works for single digit months and days.
I did the opposite for my website, but it might help you. I let you modify it in order to fit your requierements. Have fun !
getDate
getMonth
getFullYear
Have fun on W3Schools
var d = new Date();
var curr_date = d.getDate();
var curr_month = d.getMonth() + 1; //Months are zero based
var curr_year = d.getFullYear();
if(curr_month < 10)
curr_month = "0"+curr_month;
if(curr_date < 10)
curr_date = "0"+curr_date;
var curr_date_format = curr_date+"/"+curr_month+"/"+curr_year;
Adding more to Christof R's solution (thanks! used it!) to allow for MM-DD-YYYY (- in addition to /) and even MM DD YYYY. Slight change in the regex.
var convertDate = function(usDate) {
var dateParts = usDate.split(/(\d{1,2})[\/ -](\d{1,2})[\/ -](\d{4})/);
return dateParts[3] + "-" + dateParts[1] + "-" + dateParts[2];
}
var inDate = "12/06/2013";
var outDate = convertDate(inDate); // 2013-12-06
As Christof R says: This also works for single digit day and month as well.
// format from M/D/YYYY to YYYYMMDD
Date.prototype.yyyymmdd = function() {
var yyyy = this.getFullYear();
var mm = this.getMonth() < 9 ? "0" + (this.getMonth() + 1) : (this.getMonth() + 1); // getMonth() is zero-based
var dd = this.getDate() < 10 ? "0" + this.getDate() : this.getDate();
return "".concat(yyyy).concat(mm).concat(dd);
};
var siku = new Date();
document.getElementById("day").innerHTML = siku.yyyymmdd();
I get the response for the Date in this format while showing in the text box, how do i covert it to MM/DD/YYYY and Again re covert it to back to this format while sending
/Date(1306348200000)/
function dateToString(date) {
return (date.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + date.getDate() + '/' + date.getYear();
}
function dateFromString(str) {
return new Date(str);
}
Note, that month begins from 0.
To convert the regExp-like string to a real Date Object you could use:
var dateNum = Number('/Date(1306348200000)/'.replace(/[^0-9]/g,''))
, dat = new Date(dateNum); //=>Date {Wed May 25 2011 20:30:00 GMT+0200}
To display formatted dates I use my own small library, which may be of use to you.
var s = '/Date(1306348200000)/';
// convert to javascript date
var date = new Date(parseInt(s.substr(6, 13))); // removes /Date( & )/
// format the date
function pad(n) { return n < 10 ? '0' + n : n; } // leading zeros
var ddmmyy = pad(date.getDate()) + '/' + pad(date.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + date.getFullYear().toString().substr(2);
// convert back
s = '/Date(' + date.getTime() + ')/';
here you can find everything regarding javascript dates http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_obj_date.asp
I'm trying to use JS to turn a date object into a string in YYYYMMDD format. Is there an easier way than concatenating Date.getYear(), Date.getMonth(), and Date.getDay()?
Altered piece of code I often use:
Date.prototype.yyyymmdd = function() {
var mm = this.getMonth() + 1; // getMonth() is zero-based
var dd = this.getDate();
return [this.getFullYear(),
(mm>9 ? '' : '0') + mm,
(dd>9 ? '' : '0') + dd
].join('');
};
var date = new Date();
date.yyyymmdd();
I didn't like adding to the prototype. An alternative would be:
var rightNow = new Date();
var res = rightNow.toISOString().slice(0,10).replace(/-/g,"");
<!-- Next line is for code snippet output only -->
document.body.innerHTML += res;
You can use the toISOString function :
var today = new Date();
today.toISOString().substring(0, 10);
It will give you a "yyyy-mm-dd" format.
Moment.js could be your friend
var date = new Date();
var formattedDate = moment(date).format('YYYYMMDD');
new Date('Jun 5 2016').
toLocaleString('en-us', {year: 'numeric', month: '2-digit', day: '2-digit'}).
replace(/(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)/, '$3-$1-$2');
// => '2016-06-05'
If you don't need a pure JS solution, you can use jQuery UI to do the job like this :
$.datepicker.formatDate('yymmdd', new Date());
I usually don't like to import too much libraries. But jQuery UI is so useful, you will probably use it somewhere else in your project.
Visit http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/ for more examples
This is a single line of code that you can use to create a YYYY-MM-DD string of today's date.
var d = new Date().toISOString().slice(0,10);
I don't like modifying native objects, and I think multiplication is clearer than the string padding the accepted solution.
function yyyymmdd(dateIn) {
var yyyy = dateIn.getFullYear();
var mm = dateIn.getMonth() + 1; // getMonth() is zero-based
var dd = dateIn.getDate();
return String(10000 * yyyy + 100 * mm + dd); // Leading zeros for mm and dd
}
var today = new Date();
console.log(yyyymmdd(today));

In addition to o-o's answer I'd like to recommend separating logic operations from the return and put them as ternaries in the variables instead.
Also, use concat() to ensure safe concatenation of variables
Date.prototype.yyyymmdd = function() {
var yyyy = this.getFullYear();
var mm = this.getMonth() < 9 ? "0" + (this.getMonth() + 1) : (this.getMonth() + 1); // getMonth() is zero-based
var dd = this.getDate() < 10 ? "0" + this.getDate() : this.getDate();
return "".concat(yyyy).concat(mm).concat(dd);
};
Date.prototype.yyyymmddhhmm = function() {
var yyyymmdd = this.yyyymmdd();
var hh = this.getHours() < 10 ? "0" + this.getHours() : this.getHours();
var min = this.getMinutes() < 10 ? "0" + this.getMinutes() : this.getMinutes();
return "".concat(yyyymmdd).concat(hh).concat(min);
};
Date.prototype.yyyymmddhhmmss = function() {
var yyyymmddhhmm = this.yyyymmddhhmm();
var ss = this.getSeconds() < 10 ? "0" + this.getSeconds() : this.getSeconds();
return "".concat(yyyymmddhhmm).concat(ss);
};
var d = new Date();
document.getElementById("a").innerHTML = d.yyyymmdd();
document.getElementById("b").innerHTML = d.yyyymmddhhmm();
document.getElementById("c").innerHTML = d.yyyymmddhhmmss();
<div>
yyyymmdd: <span id="a"></span>
</div>
<div>
yyyymmddhhmm: <span id="b"></span>
</div>
<div>
yyyymmddhhmmss: <span id="c"></span>
</div>
Local time:
var date = new Date();
date = date.toJSON().slice(0, 10);
UTC time:
var date = new Date().toISOString();
date = date.substring(0, 10);
date will print 2020-06-15 today as i write this.
toISOString() method returns the date with the ISO standard which is YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ
The code takes the first 10 characters that we need for a YYYY-MM-DD format.
If you want format without '-' use:
var date = new Date();
date = date.toJSON().slice(0, 10).split`-`.join``;
In .join`` you can add space, dots or whatever you'd like.
Plain JS (ES5) solution without any possible date jump issues caused by Date.toISOString() printing in UTC:
var now = new Date();
var todayUTC = new Date(Date.UTC(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), now.getDate()));
return todayUTC.toISOString().slice(0, 10).replace(/-/g, '');
This in response to #weberste's comment on #Pierre Guilbert's answer.
// UTC/GMT 0
document.write('UTC/GMT 0: ' + (new Date()).toISOString().slice(0, 19).replace(/[^0-9]/g, "")); // 20150812013509
// Client local time
document.write('<br/>Local time: ' + (new Date(Date.now()-(new Date()).getTimezoneOffset() * 60000)).toISOString().slice(0, 19).replace(/[^0-9]/g, "")); // 20150812113509
Another way is to use toLocaleDateString with a locale that has a big-endian date format standard, such as Sweden, Lithuania, Hungary, South Korea, ...:
date.toLocaleDateString('se')
To remove the delimiters (-) is just a matter of replacing the non-digits:
console.log( new Date().toLocaleDateString('se').replace(/\D/g, '') );
This does not have the potential error you can get with UTC date formats: the UTC date may be one day off compared to the date in the local time zone.
var someDate = new Date();
var dateFormated = someDate.toISOString().substr(0,10);
console.log(dateFormated);
dateformat is a very used package.
How to use:
Download and install dateformat from NPM. Require it in your module:
const dateFormat = require('dateformat');
and then just format your stuff:
const myYYYYmmddDate = dateformat(new Date(), 'yyyy-mm-dd');
Shortest
.toJSON().slice(0,10).split`-`.join``;
let d = new Date();
let s = d.toJSON().slice(0,10).split`-`.join``;
console.log(s);
Working from #o-o's answer this will give you back the string of the date according to a format string. You can easily add a 2 digit year regex for the year & milliseconds and the such if you need them.
Date.prototype.getFromFormat = function(format) {
var yyyy = this.getFullYear().toString();
format = format.replace(/yyyy/g, yyyy)
var mm = (this.getMonth()+1).toString();
format = format.replace(/mm/g, (mm[1]?mm:"0"+mm[0]));
var dd = this.getDate().toString();
format = format.replace(/dd/g, (dd[1]?dd:"0"+dd[0]));
var hh = this.getHours().toString();
format = format.replace(/hh/g, (hh[1]?hh:"0"+hh[0]));
var ii = this.getMinutes().toString();
format = format.replace(/ii/g, (ii[1]?ii:"0"+ii[0]));
var ss = this.getSeconds().toString();
format = format.replace(/ss/g, (ss[1]?ss:"0"+ss[0]));
return format;
};
d = new Date();
var date = d.getFromFormat('yyyy-mm-dd hh:ii:ss');
alert(date);
I don't know how efficient that is however, especially perf wise because it uses a lot of regex. It could probably use some work I do not master pure js.
NB: I've kept the predefined class definition but you might wanna put that in a function or a custom class as per best practices.
A little variation for the accepted answer:
function getDate_yyyymmdd() {
const date = new Date();
const yyyy = date.getFullYear();
const mm = String(date.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2,'0');
const dd = String(date.getDate()).padStart(2,'0');
return `${yyyy}${mm}${dd}`
}
console.log(getDate_yyyymmdd())
This guy here => http://blog.stevenlevithan.com/archives/date-time-format wrote a format() function for the Javascript's Date object, so it can be used with familiar literal formats.
If you need full featured Date formatting in your app's Javascript, use it. Otherwise if what you want to do is a one off, then concatenating getYear(), getMonth(), getDay() is probably easiest.
Little bit simplified version for the most popular answer in this thread https://stackoverflow.com/a/3067896/5437379 :
function toYYYYMMDD(d) {
var yyyy = d.getFullYear().toString();
var mm = (d.getMonth() + 101).toString().slice(-2);
var dd = (d.getDate() + 100).toString().slice(-2);
return yyyy + mm + dd;
}
You can simply use This one line code to get date in year
var date = new Date().getFullYear() + "-" + (parseInt(new Date().getMonth()) + 1) + "-" + new Date().getDate();
How about Day.js?
It's only 2KB, and you can also dayjs().format('YYYY-MM-DD').
https://github.com/iamkun/dayjs
Use padStart:
Date.prototype.yyyymmdd = function() {
return [
this.getFullYear(),
(this.getMonth()+1).toString().padStart(2, '0'), // getMonth() is zero-based
this.getDate().toString().padStart(2, '0')
].join('-');
};
This code is fix to Pierre Guilbert's answer:
(it works even after 10000 years)
YYYYMMDD=new Date().toISOString().slice(0,new Date().toISOString().indexOf("T")).replace(/-/g,"")
Answering another for Simplicity & readability.
Also, editing existing predefined class members with new methods is not encouraged:
function getDateInYYYYMMDD() {
let currentDate = new Date();
// year
let yyyy = '' + currentDate.getFullYear();
// month
let mm = ('0' + (currentDate.getMonth() + 1)); // prepend 0 // +1 is because Jan is 0
mm = mm.substr(mm.length - 2); // take last 2 chars
// day
let dd = ('0' + currentDate.getDate()); // prepend 0
dd = dd.substr(dd.length - 2); // take last 2 chars
return yyyy + "" + mm + "" + dd;
}
var currentDateYYYYMMDD = getDateInYYYYMMDD();
console.log('currentDateYYYYMMDD: ' + currentDateYYYYMMDD);
[day,,month,,year]= Intl.DateTimeFormat(undefined, { year: 'numeric', month: '2-digit', day: '2-digit' }).formatToParts(new Date()),year.value+month.value+day.value
or
new Date().toJSON().slice(0,10).replace(/\/|-/g,'')
From ES6 onwards you can use template strings to make it a little shorter:
var now = new Date();
var todayString = `${now.getFullYear()}-${now.getMonth()}-${now.getDate()}`;
This solution does not zero pad. Look to the other good answers to see how to do that.
I usually use the code below when I need to do this.
var date = new Date($.now());
var dateString = (date.getFullYear() + '-'
+ ('0' + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2)
+ '-' + ('0' + (date.getDate())).slice(-2));
console.log(dateString); //Will print "2015-09-18" when this comment was written
To explain, .slice(-2) gives us the last two characters of the string.
So no matter what, we can add "0" to the day or month, and just ask for the last two since those are always the two we want.
So if the MyDate.getMonth() returns 9, it will be:
("0" + "9") // Giving us "09"
so adding .slice(-2) on that gives us the last two characters which is:
("0" + "9").slice(-2)
"09"
But if date.getMonth() returns 10, it will be:
("0" + "10") // Giving us "010"
so adding .slice(-2) gives us the last two characters, or:
("0" + "10").slice(-2)
"10"
It seems that mootools provides Date().format(): https://mootools.net/more/docs/1.6.0/Types/Date
I'm not sure if it worth including just for this particular task though.
If you don't mind including an additional (but small) library, Sugar.js provides lots of nice functionality for working with dates in JavaScript.
To format a date, use the format function:
new Date().format("{yyyy}{MM}{dd}")
