将YYYY-MM-DD HH：MM：SS转换为Javascript中的其他格式

Question

I have a string in javascript as 2016-02-27 20:24:39 and I want to convert this as 27th Feb 08:24pm .

What is the easiest way to do in Javascript?

Answer 1

Checkout the JavaScript library called moment.js .

Since the default format for moment is ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS), you don't need to tell moment how to parse the input String date (it defaults to ISO 8601), so you can simply write:

var now = "2016-02-27 20:24:39";
var formattedDate = moment(now).format("Do MMM HH:mma");
console.log(formattedDate);

Answer 2

There is a non-standard Date method toLocaleFormat ('%d-%b-%Y'). But appears to only work in Firefox for now.

Better use the date.format library (only 125 lines)

var date = new Date('2016-02-27 20:24:39');
dateFormat(date, "dS mmm, h:MMTT");
