How to convert string to Date in Angular2 \ Typescript? [duplicate]
I want to create a new Date object, with a specific date. I thought of converting it from a specific string, for example:
let dateString = '1968-11-16T00:00:00'
How can I convert it to a date object in typescript?
Update:
I'm asking for a solution in Typescript and not in Javascript, and in Angular2, not AngularJS (1.x)
Solution 1:
You can use date filter to convert in date and display in specific format.
In .ts file (typescript):
// variables used in html
let dateString = '1968-11-16T00:00:00'
let newDate = new Date(dateString);
// format date in typescript
getFormatedDate(date: Date, format: string) {
const datePipe = new DatePipe('en-US');
return datePipe.transform(date, format);
}
// Convert date to user timezone
const localDate: Date = this.convertToLocalDate('01/01/2021');
convertToLocalDate(responseDate: any) {
try {
if (responseDate != null) {
if (typeof (responseDate) === 'string') {
if (String(responseDate.indexOf('T') >= 0)) {
responseDate = responseDate.split('T')[0];
}
if (String(responseDate.indexOf('+') >= 0)) {
responseDate = responseDate.split('+')[0];
}
}
responseDate = new Date(responseDate);
const newDate = new Date(responseDate.getFullYear(), responseDate.getMonth(), responseDate.getDate(), 0, 0, 0);
const userTimezoneOffset = newDate.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000;
const finalDate: Date = new Date(newDate.getTime() - userTimezoneOffset);
return finalDate > Util.minDateValue ? finalDate : null;
} else {
return null;
}
} catch (error) {
return responseDate;
}
}
In HTML:
{{dateString | date:'MM/dd/yyyy'}}
Below are some formats which you can implement :
Backend:
public todayDate = new Date();
HTML :
<select>
<option value=""></option>
<option value="MM/dd/yyyy">[{{todayDate | date:'MM/dd/yyyy'}}]</option>
<option value="EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy">[{{todayDate | date:'EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy'}}]</option>
<option value="EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm a">[{{todayDate | date:'EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm a'}}]</option>
<option value="EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm:ss a">[{{todayDate | date:'EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm:ss a'}}]</option>
<option value="MM/dd/yyyy h:mm a">[{{todayDate | date:'MM/dd/yyyy h:mm a'}}]</option>
<option value="MM/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a">[{{todayDate | date:'MM/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a'}}]</option>
<option value="MMMM d">[{{todayDate | date:'MMMM d'}}]</option>
<option value="yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss">[{{todayDate | date:'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss'}}]</option>
<option value="h:mm a">[{{todayDate | date:'h:mm a'}}]</option>
<option value="h:mm:ss a">[{{todayDate | date:'h:mm:ss a'}}]</option>
<option value="EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy hh:mm:ss a">[{{todayDate | date:'EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy hh:mm:ss a'}}]</option>
<option value="MMMM yyyy">[{{todayDate | date:'MMMM yyyy'}}]</option>
</select>
