convert time stamp to Date inside angular expression like {{new Date(timestamp)}}

Question

Today I found that\'s it\'s not working to convert for a date inside angular expression.

So I just making something like

{{new Date(elem.times         


        

Answer 1

Because angular expressions do not accept arbitrary Javascript code, including creating new objects. What you are looking for is called angular filters, they were specifically designed for this case.

So instead of

{{new Date(elem.timestamp)}}

you should write

{{elem.timestamp | date: 'yyyy-MM-dd'}}

More info on date filter can be found here. More on filters in general can be found here.
