I have a Date
object. How do I render the title
portion of the following snippet?
To extend Sean's great and concise answer with some sugar and modern syntax:
// date.js
const getMonthName = (num) => {
const months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];
return months[num];
};
const formatDate = (d) => {
const date = new Date(d);
const year = date.getFullYear();
const month = getMonthName(date.getMonth());
const day = ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2);
const hour = ('0' + date.getHours()).slice(-2);
const minutes = ('0' + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
return `${year} ${month} ${day}, ${hour}:${minutes}`;
};
module.exports = formatDate;
Then eg.
import formatDate = require('./date');
const myDate = "2018-07-24T13:44:46.493Z"; // Actual value from wherever, eg. MongoDB date
console.log(formatDate(myDate)); // 2018 Jul 24, 13:44
