How to parse ISO 8601 into date and time format using Moment js in Javascript?

Question

I am currently using Moment js to parse an ISO 8601 string into date and time, but it is not working properly. What am I doing wrong? And I would take any other easier solut

Answer 1

There's two parts to the moment operation: reading the date/time in, and spitting it back out. You've got the first part:

moment("2011-04-11T10:20:30Z")

but then you need to call an output function, eg:

moment("2011-04-11T10:20:30Z").format('YYYY-MM-DD h:mm:ss a')

Answer 2

With moment.js

var str = '2011-04-11T10:20:30Z';
var date = moment(str);
var dateComponent = date.utc().format('YYYY-MM-DD');
var timeComponent = date.utc().format('HH:mm:ss');
console.log(dateComponent);
console.log(timeComponent);

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.15.1/moment.min.js"></script>

Or simply with string manipulation

var str = '2011-04-11T10:20:30Z';
var parts = str.slice(0, -1).split('T');
var dateComponent = parts[0];
var timeComponent = parts[1];
console.log(dateComponent);
console.log(timeComponent);
