Javascript + 7 days ( Only want dd-mm-yy)

I want to change this date to be formatted to DD-MM-YY
new Date(new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() + 7)))
Current result: Thu Sep 15 2022 02:16:38 GMT+0200 (Central European Summer Time)
Wanted result: 15-09-22

I suggest solving the problem step by step.
Check the Date object documentation. There are methods that return the day, month, and year.
Add leading "0" when you need it. For instance, like this: ${value < 10 ? '0' : ''}${value}.
Concatenate the strings:
`${dayString}-${monthString}-${date.getFullYear()}`
let date = new Date()
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 7);
const day = date.getDate();
const month = date.getMonth();
const dayString = `${day < 10 ? '0' : ''}${day}`;
const monthString = `${month < 10 ? '0' : ''}${month}`;
const formatted = `${dayString}-${monthString}-${date.getFullYear()}`;

const event = new Date(new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() + 7));
var day = event.getDate();
var month = event.getMonth();
var year = event.getFullYear();
var date = day + '-' + month + '-' + year;
date.toString();

How to convert timestamp to readable date/time?

I have an API result giving out timestamp like this 1447804800000. How do I convert this to a readable format using Javascript/jQuery?

You can convert this to a readable date using new Date() method
if you have a specific date stamp, you can get the corresponding date time format by the following method
var date = new Date(timeStamp);
in your case
var date = new Date(1447804800000);
this will return
Wed Nov 18 2015 05:30:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

Call This function and pass your date :
JS :
function getDateFormat(date) {
var d = new Date(date),
month = '' + (d.getMonth() + 1),
day = '' + d.getDate(),
year = d.getFullYear();
if (month.length < 2)
month = '0' + month;
if (day.length < 2)
day = '0' + day;
var date = new Date();
date.toLocaleDateString();
return [day, month, year].join('-');
}
;

In my case, the REST API returned timestamp with decimal. Below code snippet example worked for me.
var ts= 1551246342.000100; // say this is the format for decimal timestamp.
var dt = new Date(ts * 1000);
alert(dt.toLocaleString()); // 2/27/2019, 12:45:42 AM this for displayed

JS: Change Date format returned from DatePicker

I'm not that good at JS, so I have a problem with dates.
I want to set range for my DatePickers - that's why when the date is changed, I get it in the following format:
Wed Jul 08 2015 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (CEST)
I need to change it to the date in format dd/mm/yyyy to use the value later. Till now it looks like following:
var nowTemp = new Date();
$("#datepickerStart").on("changeDate", function (e) {
minDate = e.date;
console.log(minDate); // Wed Jul 08 2015 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (CEST)
// day = minDate.getDate(); <- doesn't work
// monthIndex = minDate.getMonth();
// year = minDate.getFullYear();
});
$('#datepickerStart').datepicker({
format: "dd/mm/yyyy",
startDate : new Date('01/01/2009'),
endDate : new Date()
});
$('#datepickerEnd').datepicker({
format: "dd/mm/yyyy",
startDate : minDate,//""+day+"/"+monthIndex+"/"+year,<- tried different approaches
endDate : new Date()
});
If I use minDate.format("dd/mm/yyyy"), it returns error "Uncaught TypeError: minDate.format is not a function".
Thanks in advance for help.

A good alternative for doing this is using momenjs library.
Other alternative is that you create a function which formats your date as follow:
var formatDate = function(d) {
var date = d.getDate();
var month = d.getMonth();
var year = d.getFullYear();
var newDate = (date < 10 ? ('0' + date) : date) + '/' + (month < 10 ? ('0' + month) : month) + '/' + year;
alert(newDate);
}
// Usage example
var now = new Date();
formatDate(now)

Javascript Date Modifiying

I have written these two javascript functions:
function getDateFromDateAtHourOfDay(date, hour)
{
var year = date.getFullYear();
var month = date.getMonth();
var day = date.getDate();
var newDate = new Date(year, month, day, hour, 0, 0);
return (newDate);
}
and
function getDateDescriptionFromDate(date)
{
var year = date.getFullYear();
var month = date.getMonth();
var day = date.getDate();
return ( (day < 10 ? ("0" + day) : (day)) + "." + (month < 10 ? ("0" + month) : (month)) + "." + year);
}
The first one should return a new date with the same year/month/day but with a different hour of the day (e.g. switch 2015-04-05 15:00 to 2015-04-05 16:00).
The second one should just return a date-string in the format dd.MM.yyyy.
Now if I call
var selectedDate = new Date(); // normally function parameter
var startDate = getDateFromDateAtHourOfDay(selectedDate, hour);
document.getElementById("dateLabel").innerHTML = getDateDescriptionFromDate(startDate);
Where hour is a function parameter and for example 15 (tested with alert), in my "dateLabel" it says 05.01.2015. But if I do
alert (selectedDate);
the result is: Sun Apr 05 2015 15:52:26 GMT+0200 (CEST) => now.
selectedDate is not modified between the calls (alert and set the innerHTML).
I think the two functions do not do what I suppose them to, but maybe you find the mistake.
Thank you !
EDIT:
I tried this code:
selectedDate = new Date();
alert(selectedDate); // Sun Apr 05 2015 16:36:07 GMT+0200 (CEST)
var startDate = getDateFromDateAtHourOfDay(selectedDate, hour);
alert(hour); // 8
alert(startDate); // Thu Mar 05 2015 08:00:00 GMT+0100 (CET)
document.getElementById("datumLabel").innerHTML = getDateDescriptionFromDate(startDate); // 05.01.2015

I don't know why you're surprised by what selectedDate is returning. You have only set it to new Date() (now). Nothing in the code is manipulating this variable from the point of creation.
You are, however, manipulating the value and storing the change in startDate and dateLabel.innerHTML. You would only notice the formatting though since the second function strips any change in "time" (done by the first function).
So, in short: You create a date (now), change the time, then format it to only show date.
var selectedDate = new Date();
//selectedDate value = the date and time right now
var startDate = getDateFromDateAtHourOfDay(selectedDate, hour);
//startDate value = whatever selectedDate was + hours sent as parameter
document.getElementById("dateLabel").innerHTML = getDateDescriptionFromDate(startDate);
//Formatted value of startDate, to only show date
As per comment:
You're missing that month in javascript is zero-based. So you'll have to do something like:
var month = date.getMonth() + 1; //in the second function
function getDateFromDateAtHourOfDay(date, hour)
{
var year = date.getFullYear();
var month = date.getMonth();
var day = date.getDate();
var newDate = new Date(year, month, day, hour, 0, 0);
return (newDate);
}
function getDateDescriptionFromDate(date)
{
var year = date.getFullYear();
var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
var day = date.getDate();
return ( (day < 10 ? ("0" + day) : (day)) + "." + (month < 10 ? ("0" + month) : (month)) + "." + year);
}
var selectedDate = new Date(); // normally function parameter
var startDate = getDateFromDateAtHourOfDay(selectedDate, 15);
document.getElementById("dateLabel").innerHTML = 'Your current system date: ' + getDateDescriptionFromDate(startDate);
<div id="dateLabel"></div>

If you try this, this should give you save value for your alert and Label, the value you are using for the Label is different than the value you are trying to use alert on.
selectedDate = new Date();
alert(selectedDate); // Sun Apr 05 2015 16:36:07 GMT+0200 (CEST)
var startDate = getDateFromDateAtHourOfDay(selectedDate, hour);
alert(hour); // 8
alert(startDate); // Thu Mar 05 2015 08:00:00 GMT+0100 (CET)
var startDateDesc = getDateDescriptionFromDate(startDate);
alert(startDateDesc) // 05.01.2015
document.getElementById("datumLabel").innerHTML = startDateDesc; // 05.01.2015

How can I format a json date in dd/mm/yy format in javascript?

I have a json date like \/Date(1334514600000)\/ in my response and when I convert it in javascript then I got this date Tue Apr 17 2012 11:37:10 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time),
but I need the date format like 17/04/2012 and I fail every time. Can anyone tell me how can I resolve it?

I don't think that the other posted answers are quite right, you have already accepted one as working for you so I won't edit it.
Here is an updated version of your accepted answer.
var dateString = "\/Date(1334514600000)\/".substr(6);
var currentTime = new Date(parseInt(dateString ));
var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1;
var day = currentTime.getDate();
var year = currentTime.getFullYear();
var date = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
alert(date);
It uses a technique from this answer to extract the epoch from the JSON date.

I found very helpful the row1 answer, however i got stuck on the format for input type="date" as only returns one string for decimals under 10, I was able to modify to work on input type="date", I basically adapted the code from row1 to the code from the link http://venkatbaggu.com/convert-json-date-to-date-format-in-jquery/
I was able through jquery .val add the date to the input
var dateString = "\/Date(1334514600000)\/".substr(6);
var currentTime = new Date(parseInt(dateString));
var month = ("0" + (currentTime.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);
var day = ("0" + currentTime.getDate()).slice(-2);
var year = currentTime.getFullYear();
var date = year + '-' + month + '-' + day;
alert(date);

var currentTime = new Date()
var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
var day = currentTime.getDate()
var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
var date = day + "/" + month + "/" + year
alert(date);

It's answer to your question...
Build the date object with your timestamp
var currentTime = new Date(1334514600000)
var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
var day = currentTime.getDate()
var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
var date = day + "/" + month + "/" + year
alert(date);​
it works
http://jsfiddle.net/ChgUa/

//parse JSON formatted date to javascript date object
var bdate = new Date(parseInt(emp.Birthdate.substr(6)));
//format display date (e.g. 04/10/2012)
var displayDate = $.datepicker.formatDate("mm/dd/yy", bdate);

Easiest way of formatting date is by using pipes if you are using Angular.
Click here
//in .ts file
ngOnInit() {
this.currentDate = new Date()
}
//in html file
<p>Current date is:</p>{{currentDate | date: 'dd/MM/yyyy'}}
//Output: 22/04/2020

Here is an updated version of your accepted answer. DD/MM/YYYY Format Get Try This..
var dateString = "/Date(1623781800000+0530)/"+.substr(6);
var currentTime = new Date(parseInt(dateString));
var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1;
var day = currentTime.getDate();
var year = currentTime.getFullYear();
if (month.toString().length == 1)
month = "0" + month.toString();
if (day.toString().length == 1){
day = "0" + currentTime.getDate();}
var datenew = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;

var Date = new Date(Tue Jun 15 2021 23:52:47 GMT+0800 (Malaysia Time)).toDateString(); console.log(Date);
Result == Tue Jun 15 2021
