Change time stamp from unix to MM/DD/YYY in a multidimensional array [duplicate]

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

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);

Setting date in html date input using JavaScript

I'm trying to set two dates into two different HTML date inputs. One for today and one for 30 days in the future. Here is my code:
function SetDate(date, dest){
var dd = String(date.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
var mm = String(date.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
var yyyy = date.getFullYear();
document.getElementById(dest).value = yyyy + '-' + mm + '-' + dd;
}
const date = new Date();
SetDate(date, 'sent');
SetDate(date.setDate(date.getDate() + 30), 'due');
This works for today's date and set's the correct date into the first HTML input, however, when it tries to set the second date 30 days in advance I get this error
Uncaught TypeError: date.getDate is not a function ... myscript.js:2
I just can't seem to figure out what the problem is.

Your function SetDate expects a Date object as the first parameter. When you call
SetDate(date.setDate(date.getDate() + 30), 'due');
you are passing a number, not a date, because date.setDate(date.getDate() + 30) will return a number. You can fix this by doing something like:
let date = new Date();
SetDate(date, 'sent');
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 30);
SetDate(date, 'due');

By doing date.setDate(date.getDate() + 30) you'll get the number of MS.
You need to add days to a new Date() and return a new Date()
const dateToISO8601 = (date) => `${date.getFullYear()}-${String(date.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2,'0')}-${String(date.getDate()).padStart(2,'0')}`;
const dateAddDays = (date, days) => new Date(new Date().setDate(date.getDate() + days));
const EL = (sel, par) => (par || document).querySelector(sel);
const dateNow = new Date();
EL('#sent').value = dateToISO8601(dateNow);
EL('#due').value = dateToISO8601(dateAddDays(dateNow, 30));
<input id="sent">
<input id="due">

Is there an easier way to write this method?

Hello everybody reading this.
I have a method to get todays date with current time.
If the deadline value in database is null it will get current datetime and formats it to the right format. else it will just format the deadline.
But I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this?
formatDateTime(deadline){
var DateTime;
if(deadline == null){
var myDate = new Date();
var month = ('0' + (myDate.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);
var date = ('0' + myDate.getDate()).slice(-2);
var year = myDate.getFullYear();
var hour = ('0' + myDate.getHours()).slice(-2);
var minute = ('0' + myDate.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
var formattedDate = year + '-' + month + '-' + date + 'T' + hour + ':' + minute;
DateTime = moment(formattedDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm').format('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm');
} else {
DateTime = moment(deadline, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm').format('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm');
};
return DateTime;
}

As #Andrew said, You are already using moment
So this version will do exactly what your current function do
function formatDateTime(deadline){
if(deadline == null){
deadline = moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm');
}
return moment(deadline, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm').format('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm');
}

if you're using momentjs, you can just pass a Date object to the moment function. if the function receives no arguments, it will default to the current time (same as new Date()).
formatDateTime(deadline) {
return moment(deadline).format('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm');
}

round up hour difference in time to 2 decimal places with javascript

i'm trying to calculate the hours difference between to times using javascript. But i keep get the results NaN in the console. I get the current time using javascript and the late time from the localstorage
var log_time = localStorage.getItem('login_time')
var currentDate = new Date()
var day = currentDate.getDate()
var month = currentDate.getMonth() + 1
var year = currentDate.getFullYear()
var hour = currentDate.getHours(); // => 9
var minute= currentDate.getMinutes(); // => 30
var second= currentDate.getSeconds(); // => 51
console.log(log_time);
var today = day + "/" + month + "/" + year
var time = hour + ":" + minute + ":" + second
console.log(today+' '+time);
var date1 = (log_time);
var date2 = (today+' '+time);
var hours = Math.abs(date2 - date1) / 36e5;
console.log(hours.toFixed(2))
the time from the localstorage reads 15/7/2017 9:30:46

You need to change your date format little bit This may Help you and also parse those dates because those are stirng formate.
Working Fiddle
var log_time1 = '2017-07-15 09:30:46';//Examples of ISO format: YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.
var log_time = new Date(log_time1)//string parsing date
var currentDate = new Date()
var day = currentDate.getDate()
var month = currentDate.getMonth() + 1
var year = currentDate.getFullYear()
var hour = currentDate.getHours(); // => 9
var minute= currentDate.getMinutes(); // => 30
var second= currentDate.getSeconds(); // => 51
var today = year + "-" + month + "-" + day
var time = hour + ":" + minute + ":" + second
var date1 = (log_time);
var test_date2 = (today+' '+time);
var date2= new Date(test_date2);//string parsing date
var hours = Math.abs(date2 - date1) / 36e5;
alert(hours.toFixed(2))

localStorage will store stringified version of any object, you need to parse it. If you converted it to milliseconds then also you need to parse it to number, it can save only string
var earlierDate = new Date( localStorage.getItem('login_time'))
// or var earlierDate = parseInt(localStorage.getItem('login_time'))
var currentDate = new Date()
var diff = currentDate - earlierDate;
Then convert diff to hour/minutes/seconds with your logic

Im not shure what youre trying to do here:
date2 - date1
These are booth strings, you cannot substract them. However you might convert them to milliseconds since 1970 which you could then do Math on:
var log_time = localStorage.getItem('login_time').split(" ");
log_time[0]=log_time[0].split("/").reverse().map((el,i)=>i?("0"+el).slice(-2):el).join("-");//5/4/2017 => 2017-04-05
log_time[1]=("0"+log_time[1]).slice(-8);// 9:30:10 => 09:30:10
var difference= new Date() - new Date(log_time.join("T"));
var hours=Math.floor(difference/(1000*60*60 /* one hour in ms */));
You may overthink the stored format. Its quite complicated to parse it properly.

JavaScript Get Time Central Time Zone

I am using a button to update a form field with a date and timestamp. The issue now is that the request has been made so that anytime these are used they are being updated to the central time zone. Can anyone help me update the below so I can accomodate?
function getTimeStamp() {
var now = new Date();
return ((now.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + (now.getDate()) + '/' + now.getFullYear() + " " + now.getHours() + ':' +
((now.getMinutes() < 10) ? ("0" + now.getMinutes()) : (now.getMinutes())) + ':' + ((now.getSeconds() < 10) ? ("0" + now
.getSeconds()) : (now.getSeconds())));
}
function setTime() {
document.getElementById('InsertRecordDate_Received').value = getTimeStamp();
}

From http://www.techrepublic.com/article/convert-the-local-time-to-another-time-zone-with-this-javascript/6016329
/**
* function to calculate local time
* in a different city
* given the city's UTC offset
*/
function calcTime(city, offset) {
// create Date object for current location
var d = new Date();
// convert to msec
// add local time zone offset
// get UTC time in msec
var utc = d.getTime() + (d.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);
// create new Date object for different city
// using supplied offset
var nd = new Date(utc + (3600000*offset));
// return time as a string
return "The local time in " + city + " is " + nd.toLocaleString();
}

Check out moment.js, and its complement moment-timezone.js:
http://momentjs.com
http://momentjs.com/timezone
For example, this will output the current time converted to central timezone:
moment().tz('America/Chicago').format('hh:mm:ss z')
> 03:48:34 CST
moment().tz('America/Chicago').format('hh:mm:ss z Z')
> 03:50:35 CST -06:00
moment().tz('America/Chicago').format()
> 2016-12-05T15:52:09-06:00
