Sequlize js / express js / node js how to change the date format

Question

When I see the dates stored in my database.

This is normal . The date and the time that's all.

But when I run a get request to get the data.

THIS FORMAT IS NOT SAME AS THE FORMAT THAT STORED IN THE DATABASE . Why could this happen?

Answer 1

我认为您可以在客户端或服务器上使用moment.js进行此类工作

Answer 2

您已经在数据库中选择了带有时区的数据类型时间戳，这就是为什么它会给您带时区的时间的原因

Answer 3

THIS FORMAT IS NOT SAME AS THE FORMAT THAT STORED IN THE DATABASE . Why could this happen?

Answer to this is :

When you fetch data from DB , Sequlize js will convert it to the UTC time , and DB UI will show you as your local time zone. So there is nothing to worry about it as its storing and giving the 100% correct date.

To make it sure :

You can take the date and time from DB and convert it to UTC , and then you can check that one with result returned by Sequlize js.

To change the Date format you can use moment.js , I think this can clear all your doubts

Answer 4

We need not install any package for these kind of things as we can handle the date formats using MySQL itself From your pic I can see you are using MySQL

Just use dateformat from MySQL

Select id, date_format(createdAt, '%d-%m-%Y %r') from table_name;

Note: %r for time with AM or PM
