I have a variable that's returning the following content:
{
"id":1,
"refnumber":3,
"active":false,
"date":"2017-09-14T23:00:00.000Z",
"addons":0,
"age":0
}
If you look at the data field I need a way of changing the data on that field to yyyy-mm-dd.
In other words .. if we take this example as a reference I would need the data field value:
This:
2017-09-14T23:00:00.000Z
To be changed to this:
2017-09-14
How can I do this?
You should just be able to slice away the trailing characters.
data.date = data.date.slice(0, 10);
This works because your data format is in a predictable form where the month and day have a 0 padding.
I recommend a library called momentjs for all your javascript date manipulation needs.
With it, you can do what you want easily: moment(data.date).format('YYYY-MM-DD')
Note that your JSON is invalid because the date string is not properly quoted, but assuming it's corrected and that your JSON object is named myObject, the following would work:
var date = new Date(myObject.date); //your string will become a date object
//now operate on that date object by extracting the year, month,
//and day into a string
console.log(date.getFullYear() + '-' + (date.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + date.getDate());
Well you could convert the string to date and then format it Here is an example
function formate(date) {
if (typeof date == "string")
date = new Date(date);
var day = (date.getDate() <= 9 ? "0" + date.getDate() :
date.getDate());
var month = (date.getMonth() + 1 <= 9 ? "0" +
(date.getMonth() + 1) : (date.getMonth() + 1));
var dateString = day + "-" + month + "-" +
date.getFullYear() + " " + date.getHours() + ":" +
date.getMinutes();
return dateString;
}
