How to set Hours,minutes,seconds to Date which is in GMT
I have Date Object ,I wanted to clear HOUR,MINUTE and SECONDS from My Date.Please help me how to do it in Javascript. Am i doing wrong ?
var date = Date("Fri, 26 Sep 2014 18:30:00 GMT");
date.setHours(0);
date.setMinutes(0);
date.setSeconds(0);
Expected result is
Fri, 26 Sep 2014 00:00:00 GMT
How Do I achieve ?
You can use this:
// Like Fri, 26 Sep 2014 18:30:00 GMT
var today = new Date();
var myToday = new Date(today.getFullYear(), today.getMonth(), today.getDate(), 0, 0, 0);
Recreate the Date object with constructor using the actual date.
According to MDN the setHours function actually takes additional optional parameters to set both minutes, seconds and milliseconds. Hence we may simply write
// dateString is for example "Fri, 26 Sep 2014 18:30:00 GMT"
function getFormattedDate(dateString) {
var date = new Date(dateString);
date.setHours(0, 0, 0); // Set hours, minutes and seconds
return date.toString();
}
To parse the date into JavaScript simply use
var date = new Date("Fri, 26 Sep 2014 18:30:00 GMT”);
And then set Hours, Minutes and seconds to 0 with the following lines
date.setHours(0);
date.setMinutes(0);
date.setSeconds(0);
date.toString() now returns your desired date
