I have the following code which I get from parameters in the URL.
This is what I have in the URL
&dateStart=15.01.2015&timeStart=08%3A00&
After getting the parameters I have the following: 15.01.2015:08:00
Using Javascript how can I parse this string to get the date in milliseconds?
Date.parse(15.01.2015:08:00)
But obviously this doesn't work.
Date.parse(15-01-2015)
This works and I can change this but then how do I add or get the milliseconds from the time??
This is quite possibly the ugliest JavaScript function I've written in my life but it should work for you.
function millisecondsFromMyDateTime(dateTime) {
var dayMonth = dateTime.split('.');
var yearHourMinute = dayMonth[2].split(':');
var year = yearHourMinute[0];
var month = parseInt(dayMonth[1]) - 1;
var day = dayMonth[0];
var hour = yearHourMinute[1];
var minute = yearHourMinute[2];
var dateTimeObj = new Date(year, month, day, hour, minute, 0, 0);
return dateTimeObj.getTime();
}
It will work with the format that your DateTime is in aka day.month.year:hours:minutes.
You can achieve it using Javascript Date Object and JavaScript getTime() Method:
var dateString="01.15.2015 08:00";
var d = new Date(dateString);
console.log(d);
var ms=d.getTime();
console.log(ms);
ms+=10000;
console.log(new Date(ms));
Here is a DEMO Fiddle.
Note: Change your date string from 15.01.2015:08:00 to "01.15.2015 08:00" because it's not a valid Date format.
Check for format
Date() in javascript :
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date
Format allowed :
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2822#page-14
You can try to use moment.js library like this:
moment('15.01.2015 08:00', 'DD.MM.YYYY HH:mm').milliseconds()
Just for the sake of completion, you can always extract the information and create a Date object from the extracted data.
var dateStart = '15.01.2015'
var timeStart = '08:00';
var year = dateStart.substring(6,10);
var month = dateStart.substring(3,5);
var day = dateStart.substring(0,2);
var hour = timeStart.substring(0,2);
var mins = timeStart.substring(3,5);
var fulldate = new Date(year, month-1, day, hour, mins);
console.log(fulldate.getTime());

I have 2 DateTime field in a form, and I want the difference between these 2 fields in minute.
I tried to parse DateTime into Date but it's not working :
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#mybundle_evenement_button").click(function () {
var field1 = $("#mybundle_evenement_debut").val();
var field2 = $("#mybundle_evenement_fin").val();
var date1 = new Date(field1);
var date2 = new Date(field2);
alert(date1);
});
});
</script>
If I alert() date1, it shows Invalid Date.
But if I alert() field1, it shows 15/09/2017 13:32 (format is : days/months/year hour:minutes).
Is it possible that new Date(field1) isn't working because of the format ?
I know that if I succeed to parse DateTime into Date, it'll be easy to have the difference in minutes, but I don't understand why it says Invalid Date.
dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm isn't a valid date format for Date.parse()
You have to format your date to a valid Date Time String Format, for example:
var field1 = $("#mybundle_evenement_debut").val();
var ISODate1 = field1.replace(/(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)/, "$3-$2-$1")
var date1 = new Date(ISODate1);
alert(date1) // => Fri Sep 15 2017 13:32:00 ...
The problem is about the format you are getting the date from the field. new Date() don't accepts this format. I think the best is to parse the string yourself. If the format is always the same just use new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds).
var day = field.splice(0,2); field.splice(0,1);
var month = field.splice(0,2); field.splice(0,1);
var year = field.splice(0,2); field.splice(0,1);
var hour = field.splice(0,2); field.splice(0,1);
var minute = field.splice(0,2);
It's depend on your browser. I'll suggest to use the standard format is '2013/12/09 10:00'.
Okay! come to the point. You need to manually format the date from my latest answer regarding this same kind of issue. Please take a look at this link : Stange javascript Date behaviour on particular dates
And you could try this below code for getting the date difference in minutes.
var startTime = new Date('2013/12/09 10:00');
var endTime = new Date('2014/12/09 10:00');
var difference = endTime.getTime() - startTime.getTime();
var result = Math.round(difference / 60000);
alert(result);
I was trying to find the difference between two days, I'm getting NaN.
function formatDate(oldFormat,duration,timestamp){
var formattedDate = Utilities.formatDate(oldFormat, "IST","yyyy,MM,dd");
Logger.log(timestamp);
var newDate=new Date(timestamp*1000);
Logger.log(newDate);
newDate=Utilities.formatDate(newDate,"IST","yyyy,MM,dd");
Logger.log(formattedDate);
Logger.log(newDate);
var date1=new Date(formattedDate).getTime();
Logger.log(date1)
var date2=new Date(newDate).getTime();
Logger.log(date2)
var diff=daydiff(date2,date1);
Logger.log(diff); }
function daydiff(first, second) {
return (second-first)/(1000*60*60*24);}
How to find the difference between two date in days? I've date in this format :
date 1 : 2015,05,12
date 2: 2015,05,28
There is no point to use Utilities.formatDate() as it is meant to convert a normal date in to any format, not the other way round.
Also not sure what (oldFormat,duration,timestamp) stand for. You do not use duration in your script, and both dates you showed seem to be the same format.
If you are simply trying to find the difference between two dates, try this:
function formatDate(date1,date2){
date1 = new Date(fixDate(date1));
date2 = new Date(fixDate(date2));
var diff = (date2-date1)/(1000*60*60*24);
return(diff);
}
function fixDate(date){
var collector = date;
if (collector.match(",")!=null){
collector = collector.split(",");
var myString = [collector[1], collector[2], collector[0]].join("/");
return myString
}
}
I have a date string like 08/27/2014 and time string like 18:29 . I want to convert it into javascript Date object.
Previously i was only concerned about the date so i was doing
var date = $.datepicker.parseDate('mm/dd/yy', '08/27/2014');
But now i am concerned about the time also. How can i include time now.?
I did something like this now
var d_p = $('#dt').val().split('/');
var t_p = $('#tt').val().split(':');
var date = new Date(d_p[2], d_p[0], d_p[1], t_p[0], t_p[1], 0, 0);
But looks ugly..
var myDate = new Date('2014-08-27T18:29:00');
alert(myDate);
This is Date constructor:
new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
How about this:
var date = $.datepicker.parseDate('mm/dd/yy', '08/27/2014');
date.setHours(18).setMinutes(29);
Is there a way I could get the year, month (0 based) and day from '03/05/2013'
If so, how?
Thanks
Is there a safe way to do it that can check if it is in the correct format?
You have the Date.parse method which parses a Date string and returns its timestamp, so you can call new Date().
Something like this:
new Date(Date.parse('03/06/2013'))
Most easy is using the split() function, i think:
var date = "03/05/2013";
var dateParts = date.split("/");
var day = dateParts[0];
var month = dateParts[1];
var year = dateParts[2];

I want to parse date in the format ddMMyyhhmm (eg 2804121530 representing 28th April 2012, 3:30 PM) to javascript Date() object.
Is there any oneliner solution to it? I'm looking for something of the kind:
var date = Date.parse('2804121530', 'ddMMyyhhmm');
or
var date = new Date('2804121530', 'ddMMyyhhmm');
Thanks for help!
A useful library here is DateJs. Just add a reference:
<script src="http://datejs.googlecode.com/files/date.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
and use Date.parseExact:
var dateStr = '2804121530';
var date = Date.parseExact(dateStr, 'ddMMyyHHmm');
For a fast solution you can brake that string into pieces and create date from those pieces
function myDateFormat(myDate){
var day = myDate[0]+''+myDate[1];
var month = parseInt(myDate[2]+''+myDate[3], 10) - 1;
var year = '20'+myDate[4]+''+myDate[5];
var hour = myDate[6]+''+myDate[7];
var minute = myDate[8]+''+myDate[9];
return new Date(year,month,day,hour,minute,0,0);
}
var myDate = myDateFormat('2804121530');
or a simper solution:
function myDateFormat(myDate){
return new Date(('20'+myDate.slice(4,6)),(parseInt(myDate.slice(2,4), 10)-1),myDate.slice(0,2),myDate.slice(6,8),myDate.slice(8,10),0,0);
}
var myDate = myDateFormat('2804121530');
(new Date(1381344723000)).toUTCString()
