How do you convert a Unix timestamp to Jalali/Shamsi/Persian format?
you can use toLocalDateString()
let mydate = new Date(timestamp);
let mypersiandate = mydate.toLocaleDateString('fa-IR');
console.log(mypersiandate);
I would suggest using moment.js
(https://momentjs.com/) which is reliable JavaScript Time library that allows you to format your timestamp in JavaScript. Below is an example of how you can parse a timestamp and format it to whatever you want using it.
//formatting Unix timestamp.
var date = moment.unix(value).format("MM/DD/YYYY");
You also tagged localization which can be done by using;
var localeDate = moment(date).locale("LT");
More examples can be found on there website.
This in conjunction with https://www.npmjs.com/package/jalali-date will get you your jalali date.
There is a moment.js extension for Persian here also https://www.npmjs.com/package/moment-jalaali (From moment to Jalali)
Another Jalali conversion library https://www.npmjs.com/package/jalaali-js (To Jalai)
An example fiddle using moment.js Jalali conversion from Unix Timestamp https://jsfiddle.net/uw82ozpd/9/
Relevant code snippet with comments:
var UnixValue;
var JalaliValue;
$(document).ready(function() {
//get the Unix Date from HTML
var UnixValue = $(".Unix-Date").html();
//Get a moment timestamp in the format simmilar to our next conversion
var date = moment.unix(UnixValue).format("MM/DD/YY");
//Convert from normal moment to our jalali moment exstension using j's as below
var JalaliValue = moment(date).format('jYYYY/jM/jD');
$(".Jalali-Date").text(JalaliValue);
});
I have these simple functions:
function convertTimeStampToJalali(timestamp){
var date = new Date(timestamp);
if(!date)
return false;
return ( gregorian_to_jalali(date.getFullYear(),(date.getMonth()+1),date.getDate()) );
}//end of function convertTimeStampToJalali
function gregorian_to_jalali(gy,gm,gd){
g_d_m=[0,31,59,90,120,151,181,212,243,273,304,334];
if(gy > 1600){
jy=979;
gy-=1600;
}else{
jy=0;
gy-=621;
}
gy2=(gm > 2)?(gy+1):gy;
days=(365*gy) +(parseInt((gy2+3)/4)) -(parseInt((gy2+99)/100)) +(parseInt((gy2+399)/400)) -80 +gd +g_d_m[gm-1];
jy+=33*(parseInt(days/12053));
days%=12053;
jy+=4*(parseInt(days/1461));
days%=1461;
if(days > 365){
jy+=parseInt((days-1)/365);
days=(days-1)%365;
}
jm=(days < 186)?1+parseInt(days/31):7+parseInt((days-186)/30);
jd=1+((days < 186)?(days%31):((days-186)%30));
return [jy,jm,jd];
}//end of function gregorian_to_jalali
