How can I manipulate a date time in the format below (I believe it is ISO 8601 format) with JavaScript?
2010-01-13T18:31:16Z
I'd like to output as dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss.
Thank you
If you really want plain English, why not convert the string to a Date and call date.toLocaleString(), or toUTCString() if you want GMT.
var time=new Date('2010-01-13T18:31:16Z').toLocaleString();
If you want to support IE8 and older browsers you'll need translate the string:
(function(){
var D= new Date('2011-06-02T09:34:29+02:00');
if(!D || +D!==1307000069000){
Date.fromISO= function(s){
var day, tz,
rx=/^(d{4}-dd-dd([tT][d:.]*)?)([zZ]|([+-])(dd):(dd))?$/,
p= rx.exec(s) || [];
if(p[1]){
day= p[1].split(/D/);
for(var i=0,L=day.length;i<L;i++){
day[i]=parseInt(day[i], 10) || 0;
};
day[1]-= 1;
day= new Date(Date.UTC.apply(Date, day));
if(!day.getDate()) return NaN;
if(p[5]){
tz= (parseInt(p[5], 10)*60);
if(p[6]) tz+= parseInt(p[6], 10);
if(p[4]== '+') tz*= -1;
if(tz) day.setUTCMinutes(day.getUTCMinutes()+ tz);
}
return day;
}
return NaN;
}
// shim implemented;
}
else{
Date.fromISO= function(s){
return new Date(s);
}
//native ISO Date implemented;
}
})()
var time= Date.fromISO('2010-01-13T18:31:16Z').toLocaleString();
returned value: (String) Wednesday, January 13, 2010 1:31:16 PM
