Leading 0 missing from data and time

Question

I have a function which works well, for converting dates from a webservice returned in json format. The webservices gives dates in the following type of format:

Answer 1

You could also try moment.js. A 6.5kb library for formatting dates

var m = moment( new Date() );
m.format( "DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm");

Answer 2

If you don't use a library, then you have to do some work, that is you have to put the "0" yourself.

Instead of simply concatenating day, you need to concatenate

(day<10 ? '0'+day : day)

and the same for the other fields.

But note that there are good javascript libraries filling this kind of gap. I personally used datejs for date manipulations.

Answer 3

I'd suggest using a library for this kind of thing -- something like Moment.js would do the job perfectly (and give you a load more functionality like date addition/subtraction into the bargain).

With moment.js, your code could look like this:

function HumanDate(date) {
    return moment(date).format('MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm');
}

usage example:

alert(HumanDate("\/Date(1373875200000)\/"));
//alerts "07/15/2013 09:00"

Hope that helps.
