I am storing time in a MySQL database as a Unix timestamp and that gets sent to some JavaScript code. How would I get just the time out of it?
For example, in HH/MM/SS format.
let unix_timestamp = 1549312452
// Create a new JavaScript Date object based on the timestamp
// multiplied by 1000 so that the argument is in milliseconds, not seconds.
var date = new Date(unix_timestamp * 1000);
// Hours part from the timestamp
var hours = date.getHours();
// Minutes part from the timestamp
var minutes = "0" + date.getMinutes();
// Seconds part from the timestamp
var seconds = "0" + date.getSeconds();
// Will display time in 10:30:23 format
var formattedTime = hours + ':' + minutes.substr(-2) + ':' + seconds.substr(-2);
console.log(formattedTime);
For more information regarding the Date object, please refer to MDN or the ECMAScript 5 specification.
function timeConverter(UNIX_timestamp){
var a = new Date(UNIX_timestamp * 1000);
var months = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'];
var year = a.getFullYear();
var month = months[a.getMonth()];
var date = a.getDate();
var hour = a.getHours();
var min = a.getMinutes();
var sec = a.getSeconds();
var time = date + ' ' + month + ' ' + year + ' ' + hour + ':' + min + ':' + sec ;
return time;
}
console.log(timeConverter(0));
JavaScript works in milliseconds, so you'll first have to convert the UNIX timestamp from seconds to milliseconds.
var date = new Date(UNIX_Timestamp * 1000);
// Manipulate JavaScript Date object here...
Use:
var s = new Date(1504095567183).toLocaleDateString("en-US")
console.log(s)
// expected output "8/30/2017"
and for time:
var s = new Date(1504095567183).toLocaleTimeString("en-US")
console.log(s)
// expected output "3:19:27 PM"
see Date.prototype.toLocaleDateString()
Modern Solution (for 2020)
In the new world, we should be moving towards the standard Intl JavaScript object, that has a handy DateTimeFormat constructor with .format() method:
function format_time(s) {
const dtFormat = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-GB', {
timeStyle: 'medium',
timeZone: 'UTC'
});
return dtFormat.format(new Date(s * 1e3));
}
console.log( format_time(12345) ); // "03:25:45"
Eternal Solution
But to be 100% compatible with all legacy JavaScript engines, here is the shortest one-liner solution to format seconds as hh:mm:ss:
function format_time(s) {
return new Date(s * 1e3).toISOString().slice(-13, -5);
}
console.log( format_time(12345) ); // "03:25:45"
Method Date.prototype.toISOString() returns time in
simplified extended ISO 8601 format, which is always 24 or 27 characters long (i.e. YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ or
±YYYYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ respectively). The timezone is always
zero UTC offset.
This solution does not require any third-party libraries and is supported in all browsers and JavaScript engines.
I'm partial to Jacob Wright's Date.format() library, which implements JavaScript date formatting in the style of PHP's date() function.
new Date(unix_timestamp * 1000).format('h:i:s')
I'd think about using a library like momentjs.com, that makes this really simple:
Based on a Unix timestamp:
var timestamp = moment.unix(1293683278);
console.log( timestamp.format("HH/mm/ss") );
Based on a MySQL date string:
var now = moment("2010-10-10 12:03:15");
console.log( now.format("HH/mm/ss") );
shortest one-liner solution to format seconds as hh:mm:ss: variant:
console.log(new Date(1549312452 * 1000).toISOString().slice(0, 19).replace('T', ' '));
// "2019-02-04 20:34:12"
In moment you must use unix timestamp:
const dateTimeString = moment.unix(1466760005).format("DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm:ss");
This works with PHP timestamps
var d = 1541415288860;
//var d =val.timestamp;
//NB: use + before variable name
var date = new Date(+d);
console.log(d);
console.log(date.toDateString());
console.log(date.getFullYear());
console.log(date.getMinutes());
console.log(date.getSeconds());
console.log(date.getHours());
console.log(date.toLocaleTimeString());
var d =val.timestamp;
var date=new Date(+d); //NB: use + before variable name
console.log(d);
console.log(date.toDateString());
console.log(date.getFullYear());
console.log(date.getMinutes());
console.log(date.getSeconds());
console.log(date.getHours());
console.log(date.toLocaleTimeString());
the methods above will generate this results

There's a bunch of methods that work perfectly with timestamps. Cant list them all
UNIX timestamp is number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970 (according to Wikipedia).
Argument of Date object in Javascript is number of miliseconds since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970 (according to W3Schools Javascript documentation).
See code below for example:
function tm(unix_tm) {
var dt = new Date(unix_tm*1000);
document.writeln(dt.getHours() + '/' + dt.getMinutes() + '/' + dt.getSeconds() + ' -- ' + dt + '<br>');
}
tm(60);
tm(86400);
gives:
1/1/0 -- Thu Jan 01 1970 01:01:00 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)
1/0/0 -- Fri Jan 02 1970 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)
Using Moment.js, you can get time and date like this:
var dateTimeString = moment(1439198499).format("DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm:ss");
And you can get only time using this:
var timeString = moment(1439198499).format("HH:mm:ss");
The problem with the aforementioned solutions is, that if hour, minute or second, has only one digit (i.e. 0-9), the time would be wrong, e.g. it could be 2:3:9, but it should rather be 02:03:09.
According to this page it seems to be a better solution to use Date's "toLocaleTimeString" method.
Another way - from an ISO 8601 date.
var timestamp = 1293683278;
var date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);
var iso = date.toISOString().match(/(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})/)
alert(iso[1]);
Based on #shomrat's answer, here is a snippet that automatically writes datetime like this (a bit similar to StackOverflow's date for answers: answered Nov 6 '16 at 11:51):
today, 11:23
or
yersterday, 11:23
or (if different but same year than today)
6 Nov, 11:23
or (if another year than today)
6 Nov 2016, 11:23
function timeConverter(t) {
var a = new Date(t * 1000);
var today = new Date();
var yesterday = new Date(Date.now() - 86400000);
var months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];
var year = a.getFullYear();
var month = months[a.getMonth()];
var date = a.getDate();
var hour = a.getHours();
var min = a.getMinutes();
if (a.setHours(0,0,0,0) == today.setHours(0,0,0,0))
return 'today, ' + hour + ':' + min;
else if (a.setHours(0,0,0,0) == yesterday.setHours(0,0,0,0))
return 'yesterday, ' + hour + ':' + min;
else if (year == today.getFullYear())
return date + ' ' + month + ', ' + hour + ':' + min;
else
return date + ' ' + month + ' ' + year + ', ' + hour + ':' + min;
}
function getTIMESTAMP() {
var date = new Date();
var year = date.getFullYear();
var month = ("0" + (date.getMonth() + 1)).substr(-2);
var day = ("0" + date.getDate()).substr(-2);
var hour = ("0" + date.getHours()).substr(-2);
var minutes = ("0" + date.getMinutes()).substr(-2);
var seconds = ("0" + date.getSeconds()).substr(-2);
return year + "-" + month + "-" + day + " " + hour + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
}
//2016-01-14 02:40:01
The modern solution that doesn't need a 40 KB library:
Intl.DateTimeFormat is the non-culturally imperialistic way to format a date/time.
// Setup once
var options = {
//weekday: 'long',
//month: 'short',
//year: 'numeric',
//day: 'numeric',
hour: 'numeric',
minute: 'numeric',
second: 'numeric'
},
intlDate = new Intl.DateTimeFormat( undefined, options );
// Reusable formatter
var timeStamp = 1412743273;
console.log( intlDate.format( new Date( 1000 * timeStamp ) ) );
Pay attention to the zero problem with some of the answers. For example, the timestamp 1439329773 would be mistakenly converted to 12/08/2015 0:49.
I would suggest on using the following to overcome this issue:
var timestamp = 1439329773; // replace your timestamp
var date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);
var formattedDate = ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2) + '/' + ('0' + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + '/' + date.getFullYear() + ' ' + ('0' + date.getHours()).slice(-2) + ':' + ('0' + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
console.log(formattedDate);
Now results in:
12/08/2015 00:49
There are multiple ways to convert unix timestamp to time (HH/MM/SS)
Using new Date() - this is in-built in javascript
moment package - this is a famous node module, but this is going to deprecate.
dayjs package - this is one of the latest and fast growing node module
Using new Date()
const dateTimeStr = new Date(1504052527183).toLocaleString()
const result = (dateTimeStr.split(", ")[1]).split(":").join("/")
console.log(result)
Using moment
const moment = require('moment')
const timestampObj = moment.unix(1504052527183);
const result = timestampObj.format("HH/mm/ss")
console.log(result);
Using day.js
const dayjs = require('dayjs')
const result = dayjs(1504052527183).format("HH/mm/ss")
console.log(result);
you can check the timestamp to time conversion with an online time conversion tool
// Format value as two digits 0 => 00, 1 => 01
function twoDigits(value) {
if(value < 10) {
return '0' + value;
}
return value;
}
var date = new Date(unix_timestamp*1000);
// display in format HH:MM:SS
var formattedTime = twoDigits(date.getHours())
+ ':' + twoDigits(date.getMinutes())
+ ':' + twoDigits(date.getSeconds());
function getDateTimeFromTimestamp(unixTimeStamp) {
let date = new Date(unixTimeStamp);
return ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2) + '/' + ('0' + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + '/' + date.getFullYear() + ' ' + ('0' + date.getHours()).slice(-2) + ':' + ('0' + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
}
const myTime = getDateTimeFromTimestamp(1435986900000);
console.log(myTime); // output 01/05/2000 11:00
You can use the following function to convert your timestamp to HH:MM:SS format :
var convertTime = function(timestamp, separator) {
var pad = function(input) {return input < 10 ? "0" + input : input;};
var date = timestamp ? new Date(timestamp * 1000) : new Date();
return [
pad(date.getHours()),
pad(date.getMinutes()),
pad(date.getSeconds())
].join(typeof separator !== 'undefined' ? separator : ':' );
}
Without passing a separator, it uses : as the (default) separator :
time = convertTime(1061351153); // --> OUTPUT = 05:45:53
If you want to use / as a separator, just pass it as the second parameter:
time = convertTime(920535115, '/'); // --> OUTPUT = 09/11/55
Demo
var convertTime = function(timestamp, separator) {
var pad = function(input) {return input < 10 ? "0" + input : input;};
var date = timestamp ? new Date(timestamp * 1000) : new Date();
return [
pad(date.getHours()),
pad(date.getMinutes()),
pad(date.getSeconds())
].join(typeof separator !== 'undefined' ? separator : ':' );
}
document.body.innerHTML = '<pre>' + JSON.stringify({
920535115 : convertTime(920535115, '/'),
1061351153 : convertTime(1061351153, ':'),
1435651350 : convertTime(1435651350, '-'),
1487938926 : convertTime(1487938926),
1555135551 : convertTime(1555135551, '.')
}, null, '\t') + '</pre>';

See Date/Epoch Converter.
You need to ParseInt, otherwise it wouldn't work:
if (!window.a)
window.a = new Date();
var mEpoch = parseInt(UNIX_timestamp);
if (mEpoch < 10000000000)
mEpoch *= 1000;

If you want to convert Unix time duration to real hours, minutes, and seconds, you could use the following code:
var hours = Math.floor(timestamp / 60 / 60);
var minutes = Math.floor((timestamp - hours * 60 * 60) / 60);
var seconds = Math.floor(timestamp - hours * 60 * 60 - minutes * 60 );
var duration = hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds;
Code below also provides 3-digit millisecs, ideal for console log prefixes:
const timeStrGet = date => {
const milliSecsStr = date.getMilliseconds().toString().padStart(3, '0') ;
return `${date.toLocaleTimeString('it-US')}.${milliSecsStr}`;
};
setInterval(() => console.log(timeStrGet(new Date())), 299);
I have a date in format YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS and need to get the date in format DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:SS .
I do such:
var dateTimeFormat;
var dateAsString = dataTimeFormat.split('', dateTimeFormat.lenght);
var year = dateAsString.splice(0, 4).join('');
var month = dateAsString.splice(0, 2).join('');
var day = dateAsString.splice(0, 2).join('');
var hours = dateAsString.splice(1, 2).join('');
var minutes = dateAsString.splice(1, 2).join('');
var seconds = dateAsString.splice(1, 2).join('');
var date = day + '.' + month + '.' + year + ' ' + hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds;
return date;
But how can I convert date to Date format?
After transforming string into a known format, Date::parse() will be enough:
var yourDate = new Date(Date.parse(date));
WORKING DEMO:
var date = "2016.06.15 10:10:10";
var yourDate = new Date(Date.parse(date));
alert(yourDate);
NOTE: your format is a bit weird, but maybe parse will accept it as long as it accept many string formats such as:
Date.parse("Aug 9, 1995");
Date.parse("Wed, 09 Aug 1995 00:00:00");
Date.parse("Wed, 09 Aug 1995 00:00:00 GMT");
i think this is easy way to do this =). hope it help
<script>
dateTimeFormat = '20161506T112130';
str = dateTimeFormat.split("");
date = str[0] + str[1] + str[2] + str[3] + '.' + str[4] + str[5] + '.' + str[6] + str[7] + ' ' + str[9] + str[10] + ':' + str[11] + str[12] + ':' + str[13] + str[14];
console.log(date);

In BIRT, i have a column containing a datetime stored as a string. I need to convert these string to datetime format and put the result in another column using Javascript.
The string is the form of: for example: Fri 21 Feb 2014, 09:40 AM.
Hence this when converted to a datetime format and exported to excel, the column should be treat as a date.
Can any one of you help me to do it?
Cheers,
Other answers do not take into consideration this question is in a BIRT context.
Create a computed column in your dataset, with "Date time" as datatype
Enter as expression:
new Date(row["myDateStringField"]);
Where "myDateStringField" is your DateTime column in a String format. Then use this computed column in your report instead of the String column.
That's it!
Checkout momentjs!
You can parse your time of any format like
moment("12-25-1995", "MM-DD-YYYY");
In your case, you don't even have to specify the format. It automatically recognizes it.
And you can output ISO format or convert it to a Javascript Date object.
This is extremely easy to do with javascript. The following code will make a date in a format that Excel will recognize as a date.
http://jsfiddle.net/bbankes/d7SwQ/
var dateString = 'Fri 21 Feb 2014, 09:40 AM';
var date = new Date(dateString);
var yr = date.getFullYear();
var mo = date.getMonth() + 1;
var day = date.getDate();
var hours = date.getHours();
var hr = hours < 10 ? '0' + hours : hours;
var minutes = date.getMinutes();
var min = (minutes < 10) ? '0' + minutes : minutes;
var seconds = date.getSeconds();
var sec = (seconds < 10) ? '0' + seconds : seconds;
var newDateString = yr + '-' + mo + '-' + day;
var newTimeString = hr + ':' + min + ':' + sec;
var excelDateString = newDateString + ' ' + newTimeString;
If you just want to reformat 'Fri 21 Feb 2014, 09:04 AM' as '2014-02-21 09:04', then the following will do:
function stringToTimestamp(s) {
var t = s.match(/[\d\w]+/g);
var months = {jan:'01',feb:'02',mar:'03',apr:'04',may:'05',jun:'06',
jul:'07',aug:'08',sep:'09',oct:'10',nov:'11',dec:'12'};
function pad(n){return (n<10?'0':'') + +n;}
var hrs = t[4] % 12;
hrs += /pm$/i.test(t[6])? 12 : 0;
return t[3] + '-' + months[t[2].toLowerCase()] + '-' + pad(t[1]) + ' ' +
pad(hrs) + ':' + pad(t[5]);
}
console.log(stringToTimestamp('Fri 21 Feb 2014, 09:04 AM')); // 2014-02-21 09:04
use the ISO format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS or YYYY-MM-DD
new Date('2011-04-11T11:51:00');
or
new Date('2011-04-11');
I'm working with Javascript dates, and I'm getting a bit confused with trying to take a date from a string.
This is the code I have:
var formatDate = function(dateObj) {
// make sure date values are two digits and months start at 1
var adjMonth = dateObj.getMonth() + 1;
var adjDate = dateObj.getDate();
if (adjMonth < 10) adjMonth = '0' + adjMonth;
if (adjDate < 10) adjDate = '0' + adjDate;
// build and return dateStr
var dateStr = dateObj.getFullYear() + '-' + adjMonth + '-' + adjDate;
return dateStr;
};
$(document).ready(function() {
var testIn1 = "2012-02-01";
var testDate1 = new Date(testIn1);
var testDate1Str = formatDate(testDate1);
var testIn2 = "2012-01-31";
var testDate2 = new Date(testIn2);
var testDate2Str = formatDate(testDate2);
$('#output').html("---Input = '" + testIn1 + "':<br>" + testDate1 + "<br>" + testDate1Str + "<br>"
+"---Input = '" + testIn2 + "':<br>" + testDate2 + "<br>" + testDate2Str + "<br>");
});
Results I get from this are:
---Input = '2012-02-01':
Tue Jan 31 2012 18:00:00 GMT-0600 (CST)
2012-01-31
---Input = '2012-01-31':
Mon Jan 30 2012 18:00:00 GMT-0600 (CST)
2012-01-30
Which makes no sense to me, why are the days one off? Doesn't seem sensical to get 2012-01-31 from 2012-02-01... What am I missing here?
It looks like Date.parse uses 00:00:00 GMT if you don't pass a time, and it will be 18:00:00 the previous day in your time zone (GMT-6). If you do pass an explicit time, then this behaviour is suppressed:
Date.parse(testIn1 + " 00:00:00");
I am storing time in a MySQL database as a Unix timestamp and that gets sent to some JavaScript code. How would I get just the time out of it?
For example, in HH/MM/SS format.
let unix_timestamp = 1549312452
// Create a new JavaScript Date object based on the timestamp
// multiplied by 1000 so that the argument is in milliseconds, not seconds.
var date = new Date(unix_timestamp * 1000);
// Hours part from the timestamp
var hours = date.getHours();
// Minutes part from the timestamp
var minutes = "0" + date.getMinutes();
// Seconds part from the timestamp
var seconds = "0" + date.getSeconds();
// Will display time in 10:30:23 format
var formattedTime = hours + ':' + minutes.substr(-2) + ':' + seconds.substr(-2);
console.log(formattedTime);
For more information regarding the Date object, please refer to MDN or the ECMAScript 5 specification.
function timeConverter(UNIX_timestamp){
var a = new Date(UNIX_timestamp * 1000);
var months = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'];
var year = a.getFullYear();
var month = months[a.getMonth()];
var date = a.getDate();
var hour = a.getHours();
var min = a.getMinutes();
var sec = a.getSeconds();
var time = date + ' ' + month + ' ' + year + ' ' + hour + ':' + min + ':' + sec ;
return time;
}
console.log(timeConverter(0));
JavaScript works in milliseconds, so you'll first have to convert the UNIX timestamp from seconds to milliseconds.
var date = new Date(UNIX_Timestamp * 1000);
// Manipulate JavaScript Date object here...
Use:
var s = new Date(1504095567183).toLocaleDateString("en-US")
console.log(s)
// expected output "8/30/2017"
and for time:
var s = new Date(1504095567183).toLocaleTimeString("en-US")
console.log(s)
// expected output "3:19:27 PM"
see Date.prototype.toLocaleDateString()
Modern Solution (for 2020)
In the new world, we should be moving towards the standard Intl JavaScript object, that has a handy DateTimeFormat constructor with .format() method:
function format_time(s) {
const dtFormat = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-GB', {
timeStyle: 'medium',
timeZone: 'UTC'
});
return dtFormat.format(new Date(s * 1e3));
}
console.log( format_time(12345) ); // "03:25:45"
Eternal Solution
But to be 100% compatible with all legacy JavaScript engines, here is the shortest one-liner solution to format seconds as hh:mm:ss:
function format_time(s) {
return new Date(s * 1e3).toISOString().slice(-13, -5);
}
console.log( format_time(12345) ); // "03:25:45"
Method Date.prototype.toISOString() returns time in
simplified extended ISO 8601 format, which is always 24 or 27 characters long (i.e. YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ or
±YYYYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ respectively). The timezone is always
zero UTC offset.
This solution does not require any third-party libraries and is supported in all browsers and JavaScript engines.
I'm partial to Jacob Wright's Date.format() library, which implements JavaScript date formatting in the style of PHP's date() function.
new Date(unix_timestamp * 1000).format('h:i:s')
I'd think about using a library like momentjs.com, that makes this really simple:
Based on a Unix timestamp:
var timestamp = moment.unix(1293683278);
console.log( timestamp.format("HH/mm/ss") );
Based on a MySQL date string:
var now = moment("2010-10-10 12:03:15");
console.log( now.format("HH/mm/ss") );
shortest one-liner solution to format seconds as hh:mm:ss: variant:
console.log(new Date(1549312452 * 1000).toISOString().slice(0, 19).replace('T', ' '));
// "2019-02-04 20:34:12"
In moment you must use unix timestamp:
const dateTimeString = moment.unix(1466760005).format("DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm:ss");
This works with PHP timestamps
var d = 1541415288860;
//var d =val.timestamp;
//NB: use + before variable name
var date = new Date(+d);
console.log(d);
console.log(date.toDateString());
console.log(date.getFullYear());
console.log(date.getMinutes());
console.log(date.getSeconds());
console.log(date.getHours());
console.log(date.toLocaleTimeString());
var d =val.timestamp;
var date=new Date(+d); //NB: use + before variable name
console.log(d);
console.log(date.toDateString());
console.log(date.getFullYear());
console.log(date.getMinutes());
console.log(date.getSeconds());
console.log(date.getHours());
console.log(date.toLocaleTimeString());
the methods above will generate this results

There's a bunch of methods that work perfectly with timestamps. Cant list them all
UNIX timestamp is number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970 (according to Wikipedia).
Argument of Date object in Javascript is number of miliseconds since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970 (according to W3Schools Javascript documentation).
See code below for example:
function tm(unix_tm) {
var dt = new Date(unix_tm*1000);
document.writeln(dt.getHours() + '/' + dt.getMinutes() + '/' + dt.getSeconds() + ' -- ' + dt + '<br>');
}
tm(60);
tm(86400);
gives:
1/1/0 -- Thu Jan 01 1970 01:01:00 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)
1/0/0 -- Fri Jan 02 1970 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)
Using Moment.js, you can get time and date like this:
var dateTimeString = moment(1439198499).format("DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm:ss");
And you can get only time using this:
var timeString = moment(1439198499).format("HH:mm:ss");
The problem with the aforementioned solutions is, that if hour, minute or second, has only one digit (i.e. 0-9), the time would be wrong, e.g. it could be 2:3:9, but it should rather be 02:03:09.
According to this page it seems to be a better solution to use Date's "toLocaleTimeString" method.
Another way - from an ISO 8601 date.
var timestamp = 1293683278;
var date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);
var iso = date.toISOString().match(/(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})/)
alert(iso[1]);
Based on #shomrat's answer, here is a snippet that automatically writes datetime like this (a bit similar to StackOverflow's date for answers: answered Nov 6 '16 at 11:51):
today, 11:23
or
yersterday, 11:23
or (if different but same year than today)
6 Nov, 11:23
or (if another year than today)
6 Nov 2016, 11:23
function timeConverter(t) {
var a = new Date(t * 1000);
var today = new Date();
var yesterday = new Date(Date.now() - 86400000);
var months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];
var year = a.getFullYear();
var month = months[a.getMonth()];
var date = a.getDate();
var hour = a.getHours();
var min = a.getMinutes();
if (a.setHours(0,0,0,0) == today.setHours(0,0,0,0))
return 'today, ' + hour + ':' + min;
else if (a.setHours(0,0,0,0) == yesterday.setHours(0,0,0,0))
return 'yesterday, ' + hour + ':' + min;
else if (year == today.getFullYear())
return date + ' ' + month + ', ' + hour + ':' + min;
else
return date + ' ' + month + ' ' + year + ', ' + hour + ':' + min;
}
function getTIMESTAMP() {
var date = new Date();
var year = date.getFullYear();
var month = ("0" + (date.getMonth() + 1)).substr(-2);
var day = ("0" + date.getDate()).substr(-2);
var hour = ("0" + date.getHours()).substr(-2);
var minutes = ("0" + date.getMinutes()).substr(-2);
var seconds = ("0" + date.getSeconds()).substr(-2);
return year + "-" + month + "-" + day + " " + hour + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
}
//2016-01-14 02:40:01
The modern solution that doesn't need a 40 KB library:
Intl.DateTimeFormat is the non-culturally imperialistic way to format a date/time.
// Setup once
var options = {
//weekday: 'long',
//month: 'short',
//year: 'numeric',
//day: 'numeric',
hour: 'numeric',
minute: 'numeric',
second: 'numeric'
},
intlDate = new Intl.DateTimeFormat( undefined, options );
// Reusable formatter
var timeStamp = 1412743273;
console.log( intlDate.format( new Date( 1000 * timeStamp ) ) );
Pay attention to the zero problem with some of the answers. For example, the timestamp 1439329773 would be mistakenly converted to 12/08/2015 0:49.
I would suggest on using the following to overcome this issue:
var timestamp = 1439329773; // replace your timestamp
var date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);
var formattedDate = ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2) + '/' + ('0' + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + '/' + date.getFullYear() + ' ' + ('0' + date.getHours()).slice(-2) + ':' + ('0' + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
console.log(formattedDate);
Now results in:
12/08/2015 00:49
There are multiple ways to convert unix timestamp to time (HH/MM/SS)
Using new Date() - this is in-built in javascript
moment package - this is a famous node module, but this is going to deprecate.
dayjs package - this is one of the latest and fast growing node module
Using new Date()
const dateTimeStr = new Date(1504052527183).toLocaleString()
const result = (dateTimeStr.split(", ")[1]).split(":").join("/")
console.log(result)
Using moment
const moment = require('moment')
const timestampObj = moment.unix(1504052527183);
const result = timestampObj.format("HH/mm/ss")
console.log(result);
Using day.js
const dayjs = require('dayjs')
const result = dayjs(1504052527183).format("HH/mm/ss")
console.log(result);
you can check the timestamp to time conversion with an online time conversion tool
// Format value as two digits 0 => 00, 1 => 01
function twoDigits(value) {
if(value < 10) {
return '0' + value;
}
return value;
}
var date = new Date(unix_timestamp*1000);
// display in format HH:MM:SS
var formattedTime = twoDigits(date.getHours())
+ ':' + twoDigits(date.getMinutes())
+ ':' + twoDigits(date.getSeconds());
function getDateTimeFromTimestamp(unixTimeStamp) {
let date = new Date(unixTimeStamp);
return ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2) + '/' + ('0' + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + '/' + date.getFullYear() + ' ' + ('0' + date.getHours()).slice(-2) + ':' + ('0' + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
}
const myTime = getDateTimeFromTimestamp(1435986900000);
console.log(myTime); // output 01/05/2000 11:00
You can use the following function to convert your timestamp to HH:MM:SS format :
var convertTime = function(timestamp, separator) {
var pad = function(input) {return input < 10 ? "0" + input : input;};
var date = timestamp ? new Date(timestamp * 1000) : new Date();
return [
pad(date.getHours()),
pad(date.getMinutes()),
pad(date.getSeconds())
].join(typeof separator !== 'undefined' ? separator : ':' );
}
Without passing a separator, it uses : as the (default) separator :
time = convertTime(1061351153); // --> OUTPUT = 05:45:53
If you want to use / as a separator, just pass it as the second parameter:
time = convertTime(920535115, '/'); // --> OUTPUT = 09/11/55
Demo
var convertTime = function(timestamp, separator) {
var pad = function(input) {return input < 10 ? "0" + input : input;};
var date = timestamp ? new Date(timestamp * 1000) : new Date();
return [
pad(date.getHours()),
pad(date.getMinutes()),
pad(date.getSeconds())
].join(typeof separator !== 'undefined' ? separator : ':' );
}
document.body.innerHTML = '<pre>' + JSON.stringify({
920535115 : convertTime(920535115, '/'),
1061351153 : convertTime(1061351153, ':'),
1435651350 : convertTime(1435651350, '-'),
1487938926 : convertTime(1487938926),
1555135551 : convertTime(1555135551, '.')
}, null, '\t') + '</pre>';

function timeConverter(UNIX_timestamp){
var a = new Date(UNIX_timestamp*1000);
var hour = a.getUTCHours();
var min = a.getUTCMinutes();
var sec = a.getUTCSeconds();
var time = hour+':'+min+':'+sec ;
return time;
}
See Date/Epoch Converter.
You need to ParseInt, otherwise it wouldn't work:
if (!window.a)
window.a = new Date();
var mEpoch = parseInt(UNIX_timestamp);
if (mEpoch < 10000000000)
mEpoch *= 1000;
------
a.setTime(mEpoch);
var year = a.getFullYear();
...
return time;
Shortest
(new Date(ts*1000)+'').slice(16,24)
let ts = 1549312452;
let time = (new Date(ts*1000)+'').slice(16,24);
console.log(time);
Try this :
new Date(1638525320* 1e3).toISOString() //2021-12-03T09:55:20.000Z
function getDateTime(unixTimeStamp) {
var d = new Date(unixTimeStamp);
var h = (d.getHours().toString().length == 1) ? ('0' + d.getHours()) : d.getHours();
var m = (d.getMinutes().toString().length == 1) ? ('0' + d.getMinutes()) : d.getMinutes();
var s = (d.getSeconds().toString().length == 1) ? ('0' + d.getSeconds()) : d.getSeconds();
var time = h + '/' + m + '/' + s;
return time;
}
var myTime = getDateTime(1435986900000);
console.log(myTime); // output 01/15/00
moment.js
convert timestamps to date string in js
https://momentjs.com/
moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss');
// "2020-01-10 11:55:43"
moment(1578478211000).format('YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss');
// "2020-01-08 06:10:11"
If you want to convert Unix time duration to real hours, minutes, and seconds, you could use the following code:
var hours = Math.floor(timestamp / 60 / 60);
var minutes = Math.floor((timestamp - hours * 60 * 60) / 60);
var seconds = Math.floor(timestamp - hours * 60 * 60 - minutes * 60 );
var duration = hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds;
Code below also provides 3-digit millisecs, ideal for console log prefixes:
const timeStrGet = date => {
const milliSecsStr = date.getMilliseconds().toString().padStart(3, '0') ;
return `${date.toLocaleTimeString('it-US')}.${milliSecsStr}`;
};
setInterval(() => console.log(timeStrGet(new Date())), 299);
