How to Convert String to Date in Javascript

JavaScript Date: Create, Convert, Compare Dates in JavaScript

JavaScript provides Date object to work with date & time, including days, months, years, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.

Use the Date() function to get the string representation of the current date and time in JavaScript. Use the new keyword in JavaScript to get the Date object.

                          Date();              //Returns current date and time string              //or              var              currentDate =              new              Date();              //returns date object of current date and time                      

Create a date object by specifying different parameters in the Date() constructor function.

                          new              Date()              new              Date(value)              new              Date(dateString)              new              Date(year, monthIndex)              new              Date(year, monthIndex, day)              new              Date(year, monthIndex, day, hours)              new              Date(year, monthIndex, day, hours, minutes)              new              Date(year, monthIndex, day, hours, minutes, seconds)              new              Date(year, monthIndex, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds)                      

Parameters:

  • No Parameters: A date object will be set to the current date & time if no parameter is specified in the constructor.
  • value: An integer value representing the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.
  • dateString: A string value that will be parsed using Date.parse() method.
  • year: An integer value to represent a year of a date. Numbers from 0 to 99 map to the years 1900 to 1999. All others are actual years.
  • monthIndex: An integer value to represent a month of a date. It starts with 0 for January till 11 for December
  • day: An integer value to represent day of the month.
  • hours: An integer value to represent the hour of a day between 0 to 23.
  • minutes: An integer value to represent the minute of a time segment.
  • seconds: An integer value to represent the second of a time segment.
  • milliseconds: An integer value to represent the millisecond of a time segment. Specify numeric milliseconds in the constructor to get the date and time elapsed from 1/1/1970.

In the following example, a date object is created by passing milliseconds in the Date() constructor function. So date will be calculated based on milliseconds elapsed from 1/1/1970.

                          var              date1 =              new              Date(0);              // Thu Jan 01 1970 05:30:00              var              date2 =              new              Date(1000);              // Thu Jan 01 1970 05:30:01              var              date3 =              new              Date(5000);              // Thu Jan 01 1970 05:30:05                      

The following example shows various formats of a date string that can be specified in a Date() constructor.

                          var              date1 =              new              Date("3 march 2015");              var              date2 =              new              Date("3 February, 2015");              var              date3 =              new              Date("3rd February, 2015");              // invalid date              var              date4 =              new              Date("2015 3 February");              var              date5 =              new              Date("3 2015 February ");              var              date6 =              new              Date("February 3 2015");              var              date7 =              new              Date("February 2015 3");              var              date8 =              new              Date("2 3 2015");              var              date9 =              new              Date("3 march 2015 20:21:44");                      

You can use any valid separator in the date string to differentiate date segments.

                          var              date1 =              new              Date("February 2015-3");              var              date2 =              new              Date("February-2015-3");              var              date3 =              new              Date("February-2015-3");              var              date4 =              new              Date("February,2015-3");              var              date5 =              new              Date("February,2015,3");              var              date6 =              new              Date("February*2015,3");              var              date7 =              new              Date("February$2015$3");              var              date8 =              new              Date("3-2-2015");              // MM-dd-YYYY              var              date9 =              new              Date("3/2/2015");              // MM-dd-YYYY                      

Specify seven numeric values to create a date object with the specified year, month and optionally date, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds.

                          var              date1 =              new              Date(2021, 2, 3);              // Mon Feb 03 2021                            var              date2 =              new              Date(2021, 2, 3, 10);              // Mon Feb 03 2021 10:00                            var              date3 =              new              Date(2021, 2, 3, 10, 30);              // Mon Feb 03 2021 10:30                            var              date4 =              new              Date(2021, 2, 3, 10, 30, 50);              // Mon Feb 03 2021 10:30:50                            var              date5 =              new              Date(2021, 2, 3, 10, 30, 50, 800);              // Mon Feb 03 2021 10:30:50                      

Date Formats

JavaScript supports ISO 8601 date format by default - YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ

                          var              dt =              new              Date('2015-02-10T10:12:50.5000z');                      

Convert Date Formats

Use different Date methods to convert a date from one format to another format, e.g., to Universal Time, GMT, or local time format.

The following example demonstrates ToUTCString(), ToGMTString(), ToLocalDateString(), and ToTimeString() methods to convert date into respective formats.

                          var              date =              new              Date('2015-02-10T10:12:50.5000z');  date;              'Default format:'              date.toDateString();'Tue Feb 10 2015'              date.toLocaleDateString();'2/10/2015'              date.toGMTString();              'GMT format'              date.toISOString();              '2015-02-10T10:12:50.500Z'              date.toLocaleString();'Local date Format '              date.toLocaleTimeString();              'Locale time format '              date.toString('YYYY-MM-dd');              'Tue Feb 10 2015 15:42:50'              date.toTimeString();              '15:42:50'              date.toUTCString();              'UTC format '                      

To get date string in formats other than the ones listed above, you need to manually form the date string using different date object methods. The following example converts a date string to DD-MM-YYYY format.

                          var              date =              new              Date('4-1-2015');              // M-D-YYYY              var              d = date.getDate();              var              m = date.getMonth() + 1;              var              y = date.getFullYear();              var              dateString = (d <= 9 ?              '0'              + d : d) +              '-'              + (m <= 9 ?              '0'              + m : m) +              '-'              + y;                      

Use third party JavaScript Date library like datejs.com or momentjs.com to work with Dates extensively in JavaScript.

Compare Dates in JavaScript

Use comparison operators to compare two date objects.

                          var              date1 =              new              Date('4-1-2015');              var              date2 =              new              Date('4-2-2015');              if              (date1 > date2)     alert(date1 +              ' is greater than '              + date2);              else              (date1 < date2 )     alert(date1 +              ' is less than '              + date2);
