How to convert into Date time

Question

When the date is passed from my c# to JavaScript it returns the date time as {4/3/2020 12:00:00 AM}

but in JavaScript it is shown as 1585852200000 .

What is the format that is being used? And how can i convert it back?

Answer 1

You need to convert the Unix timestamp to DateTime format,

 var localDate = new Date(1585852200000).toLocaleDateString("en-US") console.log(localDate); // only local date var localTime = new Date(1585852200000).toLocaleTimeString("en-US") console.log(localTime) // only local time // local datetime console.log(new Date(1585852200000).toLocaleString());

Answer 2

1585852200000 is epoch date. you can convert it as

var date = new Date(1585852200000)

 console.log(new Date(1585852200000));

Answer 3

As an alternative from Shivaji's answer:

When you are passing the date through to JS you could cast it as a string with DateTime.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy") seen here on MSDN.

This will keep its integrity visually, if it is just for display purposes, otherwise you will need to re-cast appropriately in JS (in which case use Shivaji's answer).

Answer 4

JavaScript Date's object will return the DATE object and it's POSITION that is being assigned in your computer. So, when you are working with a date or datetime types, you can use some of the methods that are provided by the Date object, such as getDate() and getDay() . But, a better solution would be to format the Date object itself. For example: use the toString() or toUTCString() methods.

var d = new Date();
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = d.toString();
