invalid date when trying to change the date format

I have a date value and want to format it.

This is the value:

Thu Jul 07 2022 01:03:18 GMT+0200 (Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit)

I want to make this format:

console.log(new Date('YYYY-MM-DD h:i:s', dateVal));

but I get invalid date.

How can I make it right ?

Solution

  • Though the Date object's constructor accepts a handful of parameters to set an actual date, there is no parameter to specify in what way the date should be presented.

    So:

    let dateVal="Thu Jul 07 2022 01:03:18 GMT+0200 (Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit)";
console.log(new Date('YYYY-MM-DD h:i:s', dateVal));

    is nonsense as it tries to construct a date from two strings.

    What you can do however is call the Date's built-in function .toLocaleString() including the "sv" locale to get your Date formatted in YYYY-MM-DD h:m:s format.

    For example:

    let dateVal = "Thu Jul 7 2022 01:03:18 GMT+0200 (Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit)";
console.log(new Date(dateVal).toLocaleString("sv"));
