I have read several questions on stack overflow and all over the internet but somehow I am unable to get it right. I get a date from another function and the value is as below.
var currentDate = new Date("2021-04-27T15:30:27.588+0000");
console.log(currentDate); // this prints Wed Apr 28 2021 00:00:00 GMT+1000 (Australian Eastern Standard Time)
// want to add 45 days to my date
var offset = 45;
var xDate = new Date();
xDate.setDate(currentDate.getDate() + offset);
console.log(xDate);
The output I get is:
Mon Jul 12 2021 19:00:57 GMT+1000 (Australian Eastern Standard Time)
where as this should be some date in June.
Please can someone help me understand what I am doing wrong?
The problem is that when you are initializing a new date object using new Date(), the date object is initialized with the current date. When you increment the days using currentDate.getDate() + offset the day of the month is first set to that of currentDate and incremented by offset but the month from which it is incremented is the current month. Try this one.
var currentDate = new Date("2021-04-27T15:30:27.588+0000");
console.log(currentDate); // this prints Wed Apr 28 2021 00:00:00 GMT+1000 (Australian Eastern Standard Time)
// want to add 45 days to my date
var offset = 45;
var xDate = new Date("2021-04-27T15:30:27.588+0000");
xDate.setDate(currentDate.getDate() + offset);
console.log(xDate);
1 day is equal to 86,400,000 milliseconds. You can multiply that value by 45 and add it to your date:
var currentDate = new Date("2021-04-27T15:30:27.588+0000");
console.log(currentDate);
// Add 45 days
var offset = 45;
var xDate = new Date(currentDate.getTime() + offset * 86400000);
console.log(xDate);
My suggestion:
const addDays = (date, days) => {
var ndt = new Date(date);
ndt.setDate(date.getDate() + days);
return ndt;
};
var date = new Date("2021-04-27T15:30:27.588+0000");
console.log(date);
console.log(addDays(date, 45));
I agree Wais Kamal's answer is right. The below code is more succinct since you avoid time calculations
var currentDate = new Date("2021-04-27T15:30:27.588+0000");
var offset = 45;
var xDate = currentDate.setDate(currentDate.getDate() + offset);
console.log(xDate);
You can make use of the moment here. Link to official docs. Don't forget to install moment package like so (assuming you are using npm)
npm i moment
const myDate = "2021-04-27T15:30:27.588+0000";
const updatedDate = moment
.utc(myDate)
.add(45, 'days')
.format('YYYY-MM-DD');
console.log('updatedDate', updatedDate); // "2021-06-11"
I have table of records and need to get only current month records.
CODE:
let startDate = req.body.startDate
let endDate = req.body.endDate
let result = await caseRegistration.findByDate({ pathology_id : req.body.pathology_id,
created_at: {
'>=': new Date(startDate),
'<=': new Date(endDate)
}
})
Above code I am passing particular dates to get records. But my requirement is If request doesn't have any date then I want to get only current month data. Can you please help me?
var date = new Date();
var firstDay = new Date(date.getFullYear(),date.getMonth(), 1);
var lastDay = new Date(date.getFullYear(),date.getMonth(), daysInMonth(date.getMonth()+1,
date.getFullYear()));
firstDay=>Tue Sep 01 2020 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
lastDay=> Wed Sep 30 2020 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
Please take care of timezone & date formate you want(it could be any)
If startDate and endDate are empty find first date and last date of current month by using this :
var date = new Date();
var firstDateOfCurrentMonth = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), 1);
var endDateOfCurrentMonth = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth() + 1, 0);
Now you can assign these dates to startDate and endDate
statDate=firstDateOfCurrentMonth;
endDate=endDateOfCurrentMonth;
startDate = "2019-03-07 (목) 12:00";
var year = startDate.slice(0,4);
var month = startDate.slice(5,7);
var day = startDate.slice(8,10);
var hour = startDate.slice(15,17);
var minute = startDate.slice(18,20);
var selEndDatetime = new Date(year, month, day, hour, minute);
console.log(selEndDatetime);
I want to see "Tue Mar 07 2019 12:00:00 GMT+0900 (한국 표준시)", but console shows me the message "Sun Apr 07 2019 12:00:00 GMT+0900 (한국 표준시)".
What is wrong this code and how can I modify it to get the desired output?
The month starts at 0. You need to parse month from string to integer and minus 1 when creating a date instance.
startDate = "2019-03-07 (목) 12:00";
var year = startDate.slice(0,4);
var month = parseInt(startDate.slice(5,7))
var day = startDate.slice(8,10);
var hour = startDate.slice(15,17);
var minute = startDate.slice(18,20);
var selEndDatetime = new Date(year, month - 1, day, hour, minute);
console.log(selEndDatetime);
You can simply pass the startDate string as an argument to the Date in order to create selEndDatetime
Code:
const startDate = '2019-03-07 (목) 12:00';
const selEndDatetime = new Date(startDate);
console.log(selEndDatetime);
I have two dates and want to save the days in between (plus start and end date) in an array
var date1 = new Date("Sep 23, 2013 12:00:00"); // Monday
var date2 = new Date("Sep 26, 2013 12:00:00"); // Thursday
var alldates = [];
for (var i=0; date1 <= date2; date1.setDate(date1.getDate() + 1), i++) {
alldates.push(date1);
}
alert(alldates.join('\n'));
With this code alert(alldates.join('\n')); shows the following
Fri Sep 27 2013 12:00:00 GMT+0200
Fri Sep 27 2013 12:00:00 GMT+0200
Fri Sep 27 2013 12:00:00 GMT+0200
Fri Sep 27 2013 12:00:00 GMT+0200
I am new to Javascript and want to get further understanding, so thank you for any explanation why the alert does not show
Mon Sep 23 2013 12:00:00 GMT+0200
Tue Sep 24 2013 12:00:00 GMT+0200
Wed Sep 25 2013 12:00:00 GMT+0200
Thu Sep 26 2013 12:00:00 GMT+0200
The problem you have is that you push references to the date1 object. When you change the date on it in your loop, you update the object, but all references still point to the same object.
You need to either push a text representation of your date, or a copy of your date1 object
for (var i=0; date1 <= date2; date1.setDate(date1.getDate() + 1), i++) {
alldates.push(new Date(date1));
}
alert(alldates.join('\n'));
As suggested, with a while loop
while( date1 <= date2 ) {
alldates.push(new Date(date1));
date1.setDate( date1.getDate() +1 );
}
Your array is storing the references for the single date object and everytime when setDate is called each of them are getting updated with new date value.
So it will be better to push the new date object in array like this,
var date1 = new Date("Sep 23, 2013 12:00:00"); // Monday
var date2 = new Date("Sep 26, 2013 12:00:00"); // Thursday
var alldates = [];
// pushing first date
alldates.push(new Date(date1.setDate(date1.getDate())));
for (var i=0; date1 <= date2; i++) {
alldates.push(new Date(date1.setDate(date1.getDate() + 1)));
}
alert(alldates.join('\n'));
To echo the other answers, the issue is that the element being pushed to the array isn't a value which stays the same - it refers to a Date object which changes in the loop, so all references to date1 stored in alldates are set to the final value of date1.
The accepted answer does the job, but it also mutates the value of date1. The OP set up the code with this side effect, which suggests that this isn't a problem for their use case. But if you'd prefer to not mutate date1, here's an alternative ES6-flavored, side effect-free approach:
const date1 = new Date("Sep 23, 2013 12:00:00"); // Monday
const date2 = new Date("Sep 26, 2013 12:00:00"); // Thursday
const msPerDay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24; // 86400000
const inclusiveDateLength = (date2 - date1) / msPerDay + 1; // 4
const allDates = Array.from(Array(inclusiveDateLength), (_, i) => {
const newDate = new Date(date1);
newDate.setDate(date1.getDate() + i);
return newDate;
});
console.log(allDates.join("\n"));
Explanation: We create an array, fill it new Dates, and increment the day of the month of each of those Dates with Date.prototype.setDate(). A cool feature of Array.from is that it accepts a map function as its second argument. We leverage the index value (i) in the map function to increment the day of the month of each date - note that this also works for wrap-arounds, such as Sep 29 to Oct 02.
When the Temporal API becomes available, it will probably offer a better solution to this problem.
I'm a bit of a rambler, but I'll try to keep this clear -
I'm bored, so I'm working on a "shoutbox", and I'm a little confused over one thing. I want to get the time that a message is entered, and I want to make sure I'm getting the server time, or at least make sure I'm not getting the local time of the user. I know it doesn't matter, since this thing won't be used by anyone besides me, but I want to be thorough. I've looked around and tested a few things, and I think the only way to do this is to get the milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC, since that'd be the same for everyone.
I'm doing that like so:
var time = new Date();
var time = time.getTime();
That returns a number like 1294862756114.
Is there a way to convert 1294862756114 to a more readable date, like DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS?
So, basically, I'm looking for JavaScript's equivalent of PHP's date(); function.
var time = new Date().getTime(); // get your number
var date = new Date(time); // create Date object
console.log(date.toString()); // result: Wed Jan 12 2011 12:42:46 GMT-0800 (PST)
If you want custom formatting for your date I offer a simple function for it:
var now = new Date;
console.log( now.customFormat( "#DD#/#MM#/#YYYY# #hh#:#mm#:#ss#" ) );
Here are the tokens supported:
token: description: example:
#YYYY# 4-digit year 1999
#YY# 2-digit year 99
#MMMM# full month name February
#MMM# 3-letter month name Feb
#MM# 2-digit month number 02
#M# month number 2
#DDDD# full weekday name Wednesday
#DDD# 3-letter weekday name Wed
#DD# 2-digit day number 09
#D# day number 9
#th# day ordinal suffix nd
#hhhh# 2-digit 24-based hour 17
#hhh# military/24-based hour 17
#hh# 2-digit hour 05
#h# hour 5
#mm# 2-digit minute 07
#m# minute 7
#ss# 2-digit second 09
#s# second 9
#ampm# "am" or "pm" pm
#AMPM# "AM" or "PM" PM
And here's the code:
//*** This code is copyright 2002-2016 by Gavin Kistner, !#phrogz.net
//*** It is covered under the license viewable at http://phrogz.net/JS/_ReuseLicense.txt
Date.prototype.customFormat = function(formatString){
var YYYY,YY,MMMM,MMM,MM,M,DDDD,DDD,DD,D,hhhh,hhh,hh,h,mm,m,ss,s,ampm,AMPM,dMod,th;
YY = ((YYYY=this.getFullYear())+"").slice(-2);
MM = (M=this.getMonth()+1)<10?('0'+M):M;
MMM = (MMMM=["January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"][M-1]).substring(0,3);
DD = (D=this.getDate())<10?('0'+D):D;
DDD = (DDDD=["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"][this.getDay()]).substring(0,3);
th=(D>=10&&D<=20)?'th':((dMod=D%10)==1)?'st':(dMod==2)?'nd':(dMod==3)?'rd':'th';
formatString = formatString.replace("#YYYY#",YYYY).replace("#YY#",YY).replace("#MMMM#",MMMM).replace("#MMM#",MMM).replace("#MM#",MM).replace("#M#",M).replace("#DDDD#",DDDD).replace("#DDD#",DDD).replace("#DD#",DD).replace("#D#",D).replace("#th#",th);
h=(hhh=this.getHours());
if (h==0) h=24;
if (h>12) h-=12;
hh = h<10?('0'+h):h;
hhhh = hhh<10?('0'+hhh):hhh;
AMPM=(ampm=hhh<12?'am':'pm').toUpperCase();
mm=(m=this.getMinutes())<10?('0'+m):m;
ss=(s=this.getSeconds())<10?('0'+s):s;
return formatString.replace("#hhhh#",hhhh).replace("#hhh#",hhh).replace("#hh#",hh).replace("#h#",h).replace("#mm#",mm).replace("#m#",m).replace("#ss#",ss).replace("#s#",s).replace("#ampm#",ampm).replace("#AMPM#",AMPM);
};
You can simply us the Datejs library in order to convert the date to your desired format.
I've run couples of test and it works.
Below is a snippet illustrating how you can achieve that:
var d = new Date(1469433907836);
d.toLocaleString(); // expected output: "7/25/2016, 1:35:07 PM"
d.toLocaleDateString(); // expected output: "7/25/2016"
d.toDateString(); // expected output: "Mon Jul 25 2016"
d.toTimeString(); // expected output: "13:35:07 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)"
d.toLocaleTimeString(); // expected output: "1:35:07 PM"
Below is a snippet to enable you format the date to a desirable output:
var time = new Date();
var time = time.getTime();
var theyear = time.getFullYear();
var themonth = time.getMonth() + 1;
var thetoday = time.getDate();
document.write("The date is: ");
document.write(theyear + "/" + themonth + "/" + thetoday);
Try using this code:
var datetime = 1383066000000; // anything
var date = new Date(datetime);
var options = {
year: 'numeric', month: 'numeric', day: 'numeric',
};
var result = date.toLocaleDateString('en', options); // 10/29/2013
See more: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toLocaleDateString
Try using this code:
var milisegundos = parseInt(data.replace("/Date(", "").replace(")/", ""));
var newDate = new Date(milisegundos).toLocaleDateString("en-UE");
Enjoy it!
so you need to pass that var time after getTime() into another new Date()
here is my example:
var time = new Date()
var time = time.getTime()
var newTime = new Date(time)
console.log(newTime)
//Wed Oct 20 2021 15:21:12 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
here output is my datetime standard format for you it will be in country format
if you want it in another format then you can apply another date function on var newTime
like
var newTime = new Date(time).toDateString()
console.log(newTime)
//Wed Oct 20 2021
Try this one :
var time = new Date().toJSON();
One line code.
var date = new Date(new Date().getTime());
or
var date = new Date(1584120305684);
/Date(1383066000000)/
function convertDate(data) {
var getdate = parseInt(data.replace("/Date(", "").replace(")/", ""));
var ConvDate= new Date(getdate);
return ConvDate.getDate() + "/" + ConvDate.getMonth() + "/" + ConvDate.getFullYear();
}
Assume the date as milliseconds date is 1526813885836, so you can access the date as string with this sample code:
console.log(new Date(1526813885836).toString());
For clearness see below code:
const theTime = new Date(1526813885836);
console.log(theTime.toString());
use datejs
new Date().toString('yyyy-MM-d-h-mm-ss');
