Remove time from GMT time format

Question

I am getting a date that comes in GMT format, Fri, 18 Oct 2013 11:38:23 GMT. The problem is that the time is messing up the timeline that I am using.

How can I strip ou

Answer 1

You could use Moment.js, a library that provides many helper functions to validate, manipulate, display and format dates and times in JavaScript.

Using Moment.js lib:

var dateString = new Date('Mon Jan 12 00:00:00 GMT 2015');
moment(dateString).format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm');

Or simplified:

moment('Mon Jan 12 00:00:00 GMT 2015').format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm')

Answer 2

I'm using this workaround :

// d being your current date with wrong times
new Date(d.getFullYear(), d.getMonth(), d.getDate())
