I have a date field coming from SQL as follows:
2022-06-30T00:00:00.000Z
Im trying to get the first 10 characters (date in format yyyy-mm-dd) from it, but I can't get it to work.
First, I tried a "left" function
textPaidThru= pt.slice(0,10)
And I got
Wed Jun 29
Then I tried moment
let textPaidThru = moment(paidThru).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
But Im getting this:
2022-06-29
No matter which method I try to use, I always get the provided date minus one day.
I encounter working with dates very hard in JS. Is there a way to get the date part only as provided by SQL? This is the value Im expecting:
2022-06-30
Thanks.
You could just use some vanilla javascript and parse it like this:
Note month is zero index in Date, so you will need to add 1 to each:
const dateToParse = "2022-06-30T00:00:00.000Z"
let parsedDate = new Date(dateToParse)
const formattedDate = `${parsedDate.getFullYear()}-${parsedDate.getMonth()+1}-${parsedDate.getDate()}`
console.log(formattedDate)The reason you are getting 6-29 is most likely due to you not living in UTC+0. I get 6-29 as well, but that is because I live in UTC-7.
If you look in the code below I change the time to be UTC-7 (which should work for your timezone as well if what your profile says is correct UTC-3) and the console log for me displays 6-30 now.
const dateToParse = "2022-06-30T07:00:00.000Z"
let parsedDate = new Date(dateToParse)
const formattedDate = `${parsedDate.getFullYear()}-${parsedDate.getMonth()+1}-${parsedDate.getDate()}`
console.log(formattedDate)If you know you'll always get the same format (well, you probably will), you can just use split, something like.
let dateTime = '2022-03-25T02:03:04.000Z';
let onlyDate = date.split('T')[0];
This will split the string at T and you basically only want the first part (array index 0) and that's it.
