Convert a mySQL date to Javascript date

Question

What would be the best way to convert a mysql date format date into a javascript Date object?

mySQL date format is \'YYYY-MM-DD\' (ISO Format).

Answer 1

While JS does possess enough basic tools to do this, it's pretty simple to use

/**
 * Ashu, You first need to create a formatting function to pad numbers to two digits…
 **/
function twoDigits(d) {
    if(0 <= d && d < 10) return "0" + d.toString();
    if(-10 < d && d < 0) return "-0" + (-1*d).toString();
    return d.toString();
}


Date.prototype.toMysqlFormat = function() {
    return this.getUTCFullYear() + "-" + twoDigits(1 + this.getUTCMonth()) + "-" + twoDigits(this.getUTCDate()) + " " + twoDigits(this.getUTCHours()) + ":" + twoDigits(this.getUTCMinutes()) + ":" + twoDigits(this.getUTCSeconds());
};


var date = new Date();

document.getElementById("date").innerHTML = date;
document.getElementById("mysql_date").innerHTML = date.toMysqlFormat();
console.log(date.toMysqlFormat());

Simple date:
