Hi everyone,
Is there a way to properly display Date Picker dates, which will usually run like this Sun Jun 03 2018 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (CDT) and change them to 2018-05-03 (YYYY-MM-DD)?
I appreciate any help I can get,
Thank You,
Sincerely

Hey Nicolas,
Funny how that works - this is the second date formatting question I answered this morning. So all I have to do is to copy from the other post…
Here are a couple of references where you can learn how to format the date and time just about any way you want:

Hi Yisrael,
Thanks for the info,
I converted the date from Sun Jun 03 2018 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (CDT) to 6-4-2018 (M-D-YYYY),
I dug around the references you provided but didn’t find a way to transfrom it into YYYY-MM-DD.
I know this is a small detail, but I need it in this specific format in order to make an API call.
Do you have any suggestions in regards to transforming it into this format?
I share with you my code:
var myDate = new Date($w("#datePicker5").value);
var myEndDate = new Date($w("#datePicker6").value);
var updated_Until = ((myDate.getMonth() + 1) + "-" + myDate.getDate() + "-" + myDate.getFullYear());
var updated_Since = ((myEndDate.getMonth() + 1) + "-" + myEndDate.getDate() + "-" + myEndDate.getFullYear());
Thanks!
I really appreciate your help!
But wait, there´s more: toLocaleDateString(); And if you call now, we will give you a free: https://support.wix.com/en/article/how-to-display-todays-date-on-your-site
And as a bonus… Using Wix Code to Format Dates
I got a strange issue with Wix DatePicker control. Please follow the code below;
const date = $w("#datePicker2").value;
const options = {
day: "numeric",
month: "short",
year: "numeric"
};
var birthDate = new Date(date.toLocaleDateString("en-US", options));
console.log(birthDate.getDate());
console.log(1+birthDate.getMonth());
console.log(birthDate.getFullYear());
I am forced to use 1+ for a month for a correct value and strangely the getDate() returns a value for the date starting from 02-Jan-1982 on wards. Any date chosen before 02-Jan-1982 is one date less from the chosen date.
For e.g.
when i select 01-Jan-1982 then console log is;
31
12
1981
when i select 02-Jan-1982 then console log is;
02
01
1982
The DatePicker control requires a 360 testing from 1900 or the control is unreliable at this time. I can be wrong, please check advise.
Hello Everyone!
I apologize for the delay in my response,
I found the solution using a combination of what you guys posted here and what I found at Stack Overflow and other web resources.
function formatDate(date) {
var d = new Date(date),
month = '' + (d.getMonth() + 1),
day = '' + d.getDate(),
year = d.getFullYear();
if (month.length < 2) month = '0' + month;
if (day.length < 2) day = '0' + day;
return [year, month, day].join('-');
}
var updated_until = formatDate($w("#datePicker6").value);
var updated_since = formatDate($w("#datePicker5").value);
Thanks for your help!
@nicolasgpo that was helpful. Thank you!
