I need help/tips on converting an ISO 8601 date with the following structure into JavaScript:
CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD
I'd like to format the date like so:
January 28, 2011 - 7:30PM EST
I'd like to keep this solution as clean and minimal as possible.
datejs could parse following, you might want to try out.
Date.parse('1997-07-16T19:20:15') // ISO 8601 Formats
Date.parse('1997-07-16T19:20:30+01:00') // ISO 8601 with Timezone offset
Edit: Regex version
x = 2011-01-28T19:30:00EST
MM = [January, February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November, December]
xx = x.replace(
/(d{4})-(d{2})-(d{2})T(d{2}):(d{2}):d{2}(w{3})/,
function($0,$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6){
return MM[$2-1]+ +$3+, +$1+ - +$4%12+:+$5+(+$4>12?PM:AM)+ +$6
}
)
Result
January 28, 2011 - 7:30PM EST
Edit2: I changed my timezone to EST and now I got following
x = 2011-01-28T19:30:00-05:00
MM = {Jan:January, Feb:February, Mar:March, Apr:April, May:May, Jun:June, Jul:July, Aug:August, Sep:September, Oct:October, Nov:November, Dec:December}
xx = String(new Date(x)).replace(
/w{3} (w{3}) (d{2}) (d{4}) (d{2}):(d{2}):[^(]+(([A-Z]{3}))/,
function($0,$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6){
return MM[$1]+ +$2+, +$3+ - +$4%12+:+$5+(+$4>12?PM:AM)+ +$6
}
)
return
January 28, 2011 - 7:30PM EST
Basically
String(new Date(x))
return
Fri Jan 28 2011 19:30:00 GMT-0500 (EST)
regex parts just converting above string to your required format.
January 28, 2011 - 7:30PM EST
