Convert Date from one format to another format in JavaScript

rated 0 times [ 183] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 51667 / 10 Years ago, wed, october 22, 2014, 12:00:00

I have a string of a date in javascript in format #1. I need to convert it to format #2.

The problem starts when one format is dd/mm/yy and the other is mm/dd/yy.

The formats change dynamically and I have the formats as strings, but I need a function like

   Date newDate = convert(currentDate, currentFormatString, newFormatString).

How can I do it?

You should look into momentjs, which is a javascript date/time library. With that, you can easily convert between dates of different format. In your case, it would be:

string newDate = moment(currentDate, currentFormatString).format(newFormatString)

For example, moment("21/10/14", "DD/MM/YY").format("MM/DD/YY") would return "10/21/14"
