Remove time part from date in js

Question

let date = invoice.due_date;
    console.log(date);

Output 2019-06-13 00:00:00

d = date.split(' ')[0]; //didnt work for me

How can I remove the time and only have the date.

Answer 1

I just added .toLocaleDateString

The toLocaleDateString() method returns a string with a language-sensitive representation of the date portion of the date. The locales and options arguments let applications specify the language whose formatting conventions should be used and allow to customize the behavior of the function.

let date = new Date("2019-06-13T02:00:00Z").toLocaleDateString()
console.log(date)

Reference:

• toLocaleDateString

Another Example: If you want to have a ISO Date try this one:

date = new Date('2019-06-13T02:00:00Z');
year = date.getFullYear();
month = date.getMonth() + 1;
dt = date.getDate();

if (dt < 10) {
  dt = '0' + dt;
}
if (month < 10) {
  month = '0' + month;
}

console.log(year + '-' + month + '-' + dt);

Answer 2

If you had a string, the split would work.

It is either not a string (e.g. null) or something else not a string.

Your console.log shows a date string so it is obviously a Date object.

To get the second part in ANY case (space or with a T between the date and time) you need to get the ISOString to be able to PERSISTENTLY get the correct output.

Any toLocaleString or similar is implementation and locale dependent

let date = invoice.due_date.toISOString()

Like this:

// Assuming a date object because your console log and the split that does not work

const invoice = {
  due_date : new Date("2019-06-13 00:00:00") // EXAMPLE date
}  

let date = invoice.due_date.toISOString(); 
console.log(date)
console.log(date.split(/[T| ]/)[0]); // take space or "T" as delimiter

Answer 3

let date = invoice.due_date;
console.log(date.getDate() + '-' + (date.getMonth()+1) + '-' + date.getFullYear());

You can try this way. Can create any format like dd-MM-yyyy or anything.

Recommendation: Use moment library for date formatting.

You can convert the date string to a Date Object:

let dataObj = new Date(date)

and then format it as given in this link
