I have got a date and I like to convert it 'toLocaleDateString' but in the language I like. I am trying to do it, but it always give me the format of the user language(spanish).
var date = new Date();//or any date
console.log("date: " + date.toLocaleDateString("en-GB");
Thanks!

I need to format this value in milliseconds "1543325996" to date like this "18/01/1970, 11:42:05 PM". I've already got the right result using 'toLocaleTimeString' function, but this result has String type. I need exactly Date type.
function dateFormat(date) {
var formDate = new Date(+date).toLocaleDateString("en-GB");
var formTime = new Date(+date).toLocaleTimeString("en-US");
var concatDate = (formDate + ", " + formTime);
// here I've got error 'Invalid Date'. I know that it's a wrong way, but don't know what to do.
var newDate = new Date(concatDate);
return newDate;
}
but this returns error "Invalid Date". Is there another way to convert String to Date?
...but this result has String type. I need exactly Date type.
Date objects don't have a format. Formatting is intrinsically a textual thing (e.g., string).
If you want Dates, then new Date(+date) is giving you that. There's nothing further required. Later, at some point, if you want to display that date in a textual form, use toLocaleDateString or Intl.DateTimeFormat or similar to format them in the way you want them formatted. But not until/unless you need to convert them to text (a string).
I try to convert the format: 2017-03-07T17:26:15-03:00 to a format like
yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss for i can use DateTime in MySQL DataBase. I receveid those values from a XML file.
I find a lot of options here, but not working, i'm using PDI from Pentaho to convert the XML and save in a Database.
Use JavaScript to convert a date string with timezone to a date object in local time
Thanks so much.
You can extract individual date parts and combine them to get the desired string. Something like this:
var d = new Date('2017-03-07T17:26:00-03:00');
var result = d.getFullYear()+
'/'+('0' + (d.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2)+
'/'+('0' + d.getDate()).slice(-2)+
' '+('0' + d.getHours()).slice(-2)+
':'+('0' + d.getMinutes()).slice(-2)+
':'+('0' + d.getSeconds()).slice(-2);
console.log(result);
You cant use the calculator step, create a copy of field A, wich is the date that you want to change, and select the format date that you want, sorry for my english, is rusty, regards
I need to convert my date to mm-dd-yyyy format. So I used a method like this:
var dt=new Date(2016-06-21);
var ddte='';
ddte=(("0" + (dt.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2))+"-"+(("0" + dt.getDate()).slice(-2))+"-"+dt.getFullYear();
It works fine in my local timezone (GMT+05:30). But when I change my timezone to GMT -5:00, it gives the wrong result: 06-20-2016. The result I want is 06-21-2016.
Can anyone please explain the problem?
How can I get the correct result?
Is it a bug?
Your date passed to Date() constructor will be treated as UTC time zone. Getting the time with Date.getMonth() will get your local time zone. You're probably looking for Date.getUTCMonth().
var dt=new Date("2016-06-21");
var ddte='';
ddte=(("0" + (dt.getUTCMonth() + 1)).slice(-2))+"-"+(("0" + dt.getUTCDate()).slice(-2))+"-"+dt.getUTCFullYear();
console.log(ddte);
Though in this case I see no use for using Date at all; this should suffice:
var parsedDate = "2016-06-21".replace(/(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})/, "$2-$3-$1");
console.log(parsedDate);
It isn't a bug. It's just how time zones work (it isn't the same calendar day everywhere in the world at the same time).
If you don't actually want advanced date features (it seems you only want some good old string manipulation) my tip is to just not use Date in the first place.
var parts = "2016-06-21".split("-");
var mdy = parts[1] + "-" + parts[2] + "-" + parts[0];
Add some error checking and you're done.
I have a text box that is populated from a datepicker in Javascript. The date is stored as 30-Jan-2013. I want to convert this to a date so I can use it in other calculations.
I have tried
var date1 = new Date(document.getElementById('textbox').value)
but this returns Nan
if I drop the new Date part e.g.
var date1 = (document.getElementById('textbox').value
I get the date 30-Jan-2013 I just don't seem to be able to convert this?
Looks like Date.parse is not going to work because the format the datepicker is returning.
You might want to look at the following thread for parsing solutions or change your format that the datepicker outputs to one of the supported formats.
How can I convert string to datetime with format specification in JavaScript?

I'd like to recommend you a simple, easy to use and fast library [moment.js][1]
moment("30-Jan-2013").format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a');
will return "January 30th 2013, 12:00:00 am"
Hope this will work for your problem
var date= document.getElementById('textbox').value.split("-");;
var date1 = new Date(date[2] + " " + date[1] + " " + date[0]);
date1 .toLocaleDateString("en-GB");
I'm using calendar from Yahoo UI as follows:
calDate = (calDate.getMonth() + 1) +
'/' + calDate.getDate() + '/' +
calDate.getFullYear();
This displays a MMDDYYYY format.
I want to change this format to YYYY-MM-DD so that I can insert it into a MySQL database.
I changed the code to:
calDate = calDate.getFullYear() + '-'
+ (calDate.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + calDate.getDate();
It worked but the problem is now that when I want to change the selected date the calender doesn't display the date and instead shows NAN.
It's typically best to pass the date to your back end as a unix timestamp and convert it in the database itself. In the code where you construct your POST data for the server, you'd pass something like this:
var t = calDate.getTime()/1000;
Note the divide by 1000. This is required because javascript timestamps are in milliseconds, while MySQL requires seconds.
In your SQL statement, you'll pass the timestamp as is, and use the FROM_UNIXTIME function to convert it to your required format:
INSERT INTO ... VALUES ( FROM_UNIXTIME($t), ...)
Naturally there will be some code in between that converts t from javascript into $t in your back end script, and then passes that on to the SQL.
Now, if you really need to format dates on the front end, you can make use of the handy YAHOO.util.Date utility. Just do something like this:
alert(YAHOO.util.Date.format(calDate, {format: "%Y-%m-%d" }));
Much easier than calling getFullYear, getMonth, and getDate
bluesmoon has also written two excellent articles on YUIBlog on the subject of date formatting:

You should change the format of the date just before it is inserted on the server side, let the client side have the format that it wants, and change the date around later.
cal1.cfg.setProperty("DATE_FIELD_DELIMITER", "-");
cal1.cfg.setProperty("MDY_YEAR_POSITION", 1);
cal1.cfg.setProperty("MDY_MONTH_POSITION", 2);
cal1.cfg.setProperty("MDY_DAY_POSITION", 3);
