How can I convert my date to the appropriate format for doing a new Date()?












1















I have a date coming from the server which comes in the following format: 2018-11-13 05:00:00.000 +00:00.



I want this to be converted into a date object using new Date(), which works fine on Chrome but in none of the other browsers unfortunately.



Here is what I am currently doing that only works on chrome:



const dateStr = '2018-11-13 05:00:00.000 +00:00'
const dateObj = new Date(dateStr)


My question is, what is the best way I can get dateStr in the proper format so my dateObj can be a valid date for all other browsers?

  • You've tagged this with momentjs, which could parse that format itself...

  • You could do dateStr.replace(' ','T').replace(' ','') so the string becomes "2018-11-13T05:00:00.000+00:00" which is a valid ECMAScript date and time string.

You could use moment and provide the date format so it knows how to parse the date ... something similar to this:



moment('2018-11-13 05:00:00.000 +00:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.SSS ZZ').toDate()
