I have a date with the format Sun May 11,2014
. How can I convert it to 2014-05-11
using JavaScript?
If you use momentjs
, now they include a constant for that format YYYY-MM-DD
:
date.format(moment.HTML5_FMT.DATE)
Simply use this:
var date = new Date('1970-01-01'); // Or your date here
console.log((date.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + date.getDate() + '/' + date.getFullYear());
Simple and sweet ;)
var d = new Date("Sun May 1,2014");
var year = d.getFullYear();
var month = d.getMonth() + 1;
var day = d.getDate();
month = checkZero(month);
day = checkZero(day);
var date = "";
date += year;
date += "-";
date += month;
date += "-";
date += day;
document.querySelector("#display").innerHTML = date;
function checkZero(i)
{
if (i < 10)
{
i = "0" + i
}; // add zero in front of numbers < 10
return i;
}
<div id="display"></div>
format = function date2str(x, y) {
var z = {
M: x.getMonth() + 1,
d: x.getDate(),
h: x.getHours(),
m: x.getMinutes(),
s: x.getSeconds()
};
y = y.replace(/(M+|d+|h+|m+|s+)/g, function(v) {
return ((v.length > 1 ? "0" : "") + eval('z.' + v.slice(-1))).slice(-2)
});
return y.replace(/(y+)/g, function(v) {
return x.getFullYear().toString().slice(-v.length)
});
}
format(new Date('Sun May 11,2014'), 'yyyy-MM-dd')
"2014-05-11
You can use toLocaleDateString('fr-CA')
on Date
object
console.log(new Date('Sun May 11,2014').toLocaleDateString('fr-CA'));
Also I found out that those locales give right result from this locales list List of All Locales and Their Short Codes?
'en-CA'
'fr-CA'
'lt-LT'
'sv-FI'
'sv-SE'

localesList.forEach(lcl => {
if ("2014-05-11" === new Date('Sun May 11,2014').toLocaleDateString(lcl)) {
console.log(lcl, new Date('Sun May 11,2014').toLocaleDateString(lcl));
}
});
You can do:
function formatDate(date) {
var d = new Date(date),
month = '' + (d.getMonth() + 1),
day = '' + d.getDate(),
year = d.getFullYear();
if (month.length < 2)
month = '0' + month;
if (day.length < 2)
day = '0' + day;
return [year, month, day].join('-');
}
Usage example:
alert(formatDate('Sun May 11,2014'));
Output:
2014-05-11
