Timestamp to human readable format
getDay()
returns the day of the week. To get the date, use date.getDate()
. getMonth()
retrieves the month, but month is zero based, so using getMonth() + 1
should give you the right month. Time value seems to be ok here, albeit the hour is 23 here (GMT+1). If you want universal values, add UTC
to the methods (e.g. date.getUTCFullYear()
, date.getUTCHours()
)
const timestamp = 1301090400;
const date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);
const datevalues = [
date.getFullYear(),
date.getMonth()+1,
date.getDate(),
date.getHours(),
date.getMinutes(),
date.getSeconds(),
];
alert(datevalues); //=> [2011, 3, 25, 23, 0, 0]
Here is a small helper idea to retrieve values of a given Date
:
const dateHelper = dateHelperFactory();
const formatMe = date => {
const vals = `yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mmi,ss,mms`.split(`,`);
const myDate = dateHelper(date).toArr(...vals);
return `${myDate.slice(0, 3).join(`/`)} ${
myDate.slice(3, 6).join(`:`)}.${
myDate.slice(-1)[0]}`;
};
// to a formatted date with zero padded values
console.log(formatMe(new Date(1301090400 * 1000)));
// the raw values
console.log(dateHelper(new Date(1301090400 * 1000)).values);
function dateHelperFactory() {
const padZero = (val, len = 2) => `${val}`.padStart(len, `0`);
const setValues = date => {
let vals = {
yyyy: date.getFullYear(),
m: date.getMonth()+1,
d: date.getDate(),
h: date.getHours(),
mi: date.getMinutes(),
s: date.getSeconds(),
ms: date.getMilliseconds(), };
Object.keys(vals).filter(k => k !== `yyyy`).forEach(k =>
vals[k[0]+k] = padZero(vals[k], k === `ms` && 3 || 2) );
return vals;
};
return date => ( {
values: setValues(date),
toArr(...items) { return items.map(i => this.values[i]); },
} );
}
.as-console-wrapper {
max-height: 100% !important;
}
Or see this small stackblitz project (a little bit more efficient).
use Date.prototype.toLocaleTimeString()
as documented here
please note the locale example en-US in the url.
here is kooilnc's answer w/ padded 0's
function getFormattedDate() {
var date = new Date();
var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
var day = date.getDate();
var hour = date.getHours();
var min = date.getMinutes();
var sec = date.getSeconds();
month = (month < 10 ? "0" : "") + month;
day = (day < 10 ? "0" : "") + day;
hour = (hour < 10 ? "0" : "") + hour;
min = (min < 10 ? "0" : "") + min;
sec = (sec < 10 ? "0" : "") + sec;
var str = date.getFullYear() + "-" + month + "-" + day + "_" + hour + ":" + min + ":" + sec;
/*alert(str);*/
return str;
}
var newDate = new Date();
newDate.setTime(unixtime*1000);
dateString = newDate.toUTCString();
Where unixtime
is the time returned by your sql db. Here is a fiddle if it helps.
For example, using it for the current time:
document.write( new Date().toUTCString() );
