Convert a Unix timestamp to time in JavaScript
I am storing time in a MySQL database as a Unix timestamp and that gets sent to some JavaScript code. How would I get just the time out of it?
For example, in HH/MM/SS format.
Solution 1:
let unix_timestamp = 1549312452
// Create a new JavaScript Date object based on the timestamp
// multiplied by 1000 so that the argument is in milliseconds, not seconds.
var date = new Date(unix_timestamp * 1000);
// Hours part from the timestamp
var hours = date.getHours();
// Minutes part from the timestamp
var minutes = "0" + date.getMinutes();
// Seconds part from the timestamp
var seconds = "0" + date.getSeconds();
// Will display time in 10:30:23 format
var formattedTime = hours + ':' + minutes.substr(-2) + ':' + seconds.substr(-2);
console.log(formattedTime);For more information regarding the Date object, please refer to MDN or the ECMAScript 5 specification.
Solution 2:
function timeConverter(UNIX_timestamp){
var a = new Date(UNIX_timestamp * 1000);
var months = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'];
var year = a.getFullYear();
var month = months[a.getMonth()];
var date = a.getDate();
var hour = a.getHours();
var min = a.getMinutes();
var sec = a.getSeconds();
var time = date + ' ' + month + ' ' + year + ' ' + hour + ':' + min + ':' + sec ;
return time;
}
console.log(timeConverter(0));Solution 3:
JavaScript works in milliseconds, so you'll first have to convert the UNIX timestamp from seconds to milliseconds.
var date = new Date(UNIX_Timestamp * 1000);
// Manipulate JavaScript Date object here...
Solution 4:
Use:
var s = new Date(1504095567183).toLocaleDateString("en-US")
console.log(s)
// expected output "8/30/2017"
and for time:
var s = new Date(1504095567183).toLocaleTimeString("en-US")
console.log(s)
// expected output "3:19:27 PM"
