I am working with a sitemap where the modified date that is being pulled from WP GraphQL is incorrectly formatted which looks like 2021-11-24T17:03:44.597Z. Looking at Google's recommendations it suggests something like: 2021-11-24T16:02:05+00:00
Is there an efficient way of converting this to the recommended format?
You can use the momentjs library and use the following to convert your date:
moment(value).utc().format("LLL");
Or
moment(value).utc().format("M/D/YY");
Also, you can check the official documentation, it is very good and flexible for different kinds of date conversions.
As commented @Rawley Fowler you can use DayJs is recommended by momentJS team and is a lighter and more modern version to do those kind of conversions, to do it with that library you can use:
dayjs(value).utc().format('DD/MM/YYYY') // '25/01/2019'
Or
dayjs(value).utc().format('LLL') // 'January 25, 2019 8:02 PM'
This depends on what kind of format you need.
How to convert yyyy-mm-dd't'hh:mm:ssZ to normal time javascript?
This should answer your question, just create a const date = new Date('2021-11-24T17:03:44.597Z') and then you can date.getDate(), date.getMonth() etc to format it in a way you need.
