Javascript Format Date without Moment.js (Eg: 17 July, 2021 )
Almost everyone like me might be using the plugin moment.js to format a date-time-stamp to a readable date or time - Eg: 14 July 2021 or 11:58 pm
Fortunately, there is a native javascript API to format date and time.
With the help of toLocaleDateString
we can format a date-time-stamp to a readable language sensitive representation.
const date = new Date();
Sat Jul 17 2021 19:04:31 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
date.toLocaleDateString("en-IN", {
"year": "numeric",
"month": "long",
"day": "numeric"
})
"17 July 2021"
(Formatted Date)
With the help of toLocaleTimeString
we can format a date-time-stamp to a readable language sensitive representation.
const date = new Date();
Sat Jul 17 2021 19:04:31 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
date.toLocaleTimeString("en-IN", {"hour": "numeric"})
"7 pm"
(Formatted Time)
