I have got this:
startDate = new Date();
startDate = new Date(Date.parse('2014-10-20'));
finishDate = new Date();
finishDate = new Date(Date.parse('2014-11-21'));
The startDate is Mon Oct 20 2014 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (Hora de Verão de GMT);
The finishDate is Fri Nov 21 2014 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Hora padrão de GMT);
You can see the GMT+0100 in the startDate and not in the finishDate, possibly because after 26 October the winter time is on.
I want to get those dates without regard to the timezone, winter or summer time.
You could use Date#toUTCString(). This will return a string with the date in UTC timezone, which naturally will ignore daylight savings time.

I'm reading data from a API server:
opTMP:
{ DATAI: "2019-10-27T00:00:00", …}
{ DATAI: "2019-10-31T00:00:00", …}
then I create a new date:
const opTMP1 = this.opTMP.map(x => Object.assign({}, x));
for (const op of opTMP1){
let d = new Date(op.DATAI);
console.log(d);
...
}
but in console I got different results,one is GMT+0300 and one GMT+0200 :
d: Sun Oct 27 2019 00:00:00 GMT+0300 (Eastern European Summer Time)
d: Thu Oct 31 2019 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)
because of that I got problems when comparing it,I want to get only day month and year,no time info needed,how can I reset both to the same time or to 0:00:00?
Converting date to epoch time is good way to comparing the dates.
let d = new Date(op.DATAI).getTime();
var date1 = new Date('1900-01-01');
console.log(date1);
Yields:
"Mon Jan 01 1900 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (W. Europe Standard Time)"
var date2 = new Date(1900,1,1);
console.log(date2);
Yields:
"Thu Feb 01 1900 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (W. Europe Standard Time)"
Fiddle
But I don't understand why!
You can see the month difference since when you pass individual components (year, month, day, etc) to the Date object constructor, you have to consider that month parameter should start with 0:
console.log( new Date('1900-01-01').getMonth() ); // 0
Other than Jan/Feb there shouldn't be any differences in dates.

What is the correct way to format this when using MomentJS's fromNow() functionality?
The date was generated using Javascripts Date.now() function.
Thu Nov 19 2015 19:58:03 GMT+0000 (GMT)
My first attempt was this.
var date = Thu Nov 19 2015 19:58:03 GMT+0000 (GMT);
var parsed = moment(date, "dd MMM d YYYY h:mm:ss").fromNow();
But I'm quite sure that dd MMM d YYYY h:mm:ss isn't the correct way to format this.
You can simply use:
var date = "Thu Nov 19 2015 19:58:03 GMT+0000 (GMT)";
moment(date).fromNow(); // 1 hour ago
See: http://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string/
I have this string "Mon Oct 21 2013 21:00:00 GMT-0300 (ART)" and I need to convert it to the timezone (GMT-0300) using just moment.js (not moment-timezone.js)
I'm doing this but it's returning the same hour.
var startDateTime = moment(date).format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm Z'),
startMoment = moment.parseZone(startDateTime).zone();
console.log(moment(startDateTime).zone(startMoment).format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm"));
Any help ?
To convert a moment object with timezone A to timezone B, you can do the following:
var startDateTime = "Mon Oct 21 2013 21:00:00 GMT-0300 (ART)";
var newDateTime = moment(startDateTime).zone('-0400').format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm')
Also note that in your example, the initial time "Mon Oct 21 2013 21:00:00 GMT-0300 (ART)" is already GMT-0300.
I get time in milliseconds from the server. I convert it to Date and get -
Mon Jul 22 2013 11:16:01 GMT+0200 (W. Europe Daylight Time) as the date in the record.
I want to separate out data of Monday, Tuesday etc into arrays. I am thinking of converting this date to Mon Jul 22 2013 23:59:59 GMT+0200 (W. Europe Daylight Time) and then filter out the records.
How can i change the date to the required end of the day time? or is there an easier way to do this ?
You could always construct a new DateTime object just using the year, month and day properties from the existing date, like so:
var actualDate = new Date(); // 2013-07-30 17:11:00
var endOfDayDate = new Date(actualDate.getFullYear()
,actualDate.getMonth()
,actualDate.getDate()
,23,59,59); // 2013-07-30 23:59:59
For future visitors, just use
var start = new Date();
var end = new Date();
start.setHours(0,0,0,0);
end.setHours(23,59,59,999);
Using http://momentjs.com:
var now = new Date().getTime();
var endOfDay = moment(now).endOf("day").toDate(); // Wed Jan 20 2016 23:59:59 GMT-0800 (PST)
var actualDate = new Date()
var eodDate = new Date(Math.floor(actualDate.getTime()/86400000+1)*86400000 + actualDate .getTimezoneOffset()*60000 - 1000)
where 86400000 are total milliseconds in a day
If two Date Objects are on the same day then they have the same Date String:
new Date('1374488161000').toDateString()
=> "Tue Jul 30 2013"
new Date('13744917610403').toDateString()
=> "Tue Jul 30 2013"
Although a rather naive method of comparing days, it's probably the simplest comparison.
