Convert a Unix timestamp to time in JavaScript

Question

I am storing time in a MySQL database as a Unix timestamp and that gets sent to some JavaScript code. How would I get just the time out of it?

For example, in HH/MM/

Answer 1

I'd think about using a library like momentjs.com, that makes this really simple:

Based on a Unix timestamp:

var timestamp = moment.unix(1293683278);
console.log( timestamp.format("HH/mm/ss") );

Based on a MySQL date string:

var now = moment("2010-10-10 12:03:15");
console.log( now.format("HH/mm/ss") );
