AngularJS. Convert tag value (Unix time to human-readable time)

Question

I am getting data from a database and displaying it:

    

       

          {{item.date}}

        

Answer 1

Use format date filter like this:

<mydate>{{item.date * 1000 | date:'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z'}}</mydate>

Reference

Answer 2

You should use the date filter that is already provided by angular: here

Answer 3

I have faced the issue with unix time formatted as a number of seconds from the epoch start or as a number of milliseconds that is used in JavaScript. So strictly speaking, AngularJS doesn't convert Unix timestamp to Date, but a number with milliseconds, which is 1000 times larger, so first you will have to multiply your input number by 1000, like this:

<mydate>{{item.date * 1000 | date:'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z'}}</mydate>

Otherwise your date will be wrong.

Answer 4

There is directive to that called rsTime.

    <rs-time start-time="1478513323" digital-format="'ffffd MMM d h:mm TT'"></rs-time>

Check demo at Plunker .

Below are different formates of time:

 M/d/y -  11/7/2016

 HH:mm:ss - 16:02:31 (24hrs formate)

 hh:mm:ss TT - 04:03:10 PM

 ffffd MMM d h:mm TT  - Mon Nov 7 at 4:04 PM

Answer 5

If you have a Unix timestamp, you'll probably have to multiply your timestamp by 1000 since the Unix timestamp is in seconds and AngularJs date filter needs milliseconds.

vm.milliseconds = Date('1441981121' * 1000);

then use $filter() function

var date = $filter('date')(vm.milliseconds, 'd MMMM yyyy');

or you can use in ng-bind

<span ng-bind="myController.milliseconds | date : 'd MMMM yyyy'"></span>

Answer 6

 yourapp.filter('timestampToDate', function () {
    return function (timestamp) {
        var date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);
        var dateObject = date.getFullYear() +'/'+ ('0' + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) +'/'+ ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2);
        return dateObject;
    };
});

Usage:
{{timestamp | timestampToDate}}
