I need to convert my date to mm-dd-yyyy format. So I used a method like this:
var dt=new Date(2016-06-21);
var ddte='';
ddte=(("0" + (dt.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2))+"-"+(("0" + dt.getDate()).slice(-2))+"-"+dt.getFullYear();
It works fine in my local timezone (GMT+05:30). But when I change my timezone to GMT -5:00, it gives the wrong result: 06-20-2016. The result I want is 06-21-2016.
Can anyone please explain the problem?
How can I get the correct result?
Is it a bug?
Your date passed to Date() constructor will be treated as UTC time zone. Getting the time with Date.getMonth() will get your local time zone. You're probably looking for Date.getUTCMonth().
var dt=new Date("2016-06-21");
var ddte='';
ddte=(("0" + (dt.getUTCMonth() + 1)).slice(-2))+"-"+(("0" + dt.getUTCDate()).slice(-2))+"-"+dt.getUTCFullYear();
console.log(ddte);Though in this case I see no use for using Date at all; this should suffice:
var parsedDate = "2016-06-21".replace(/(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})/, "$2-$3-$1");
console.log(parsedDate);Collected from the Internet
