Format JavaScript date as yyyy-mm-dd

0 votes

I have a date with the format Sun May 11,2014. How can I convert it to 2014-05-11 using JavaScript?

function taskDate(dateMilli) { 

              var d = (new Date(dateMilli) + '').split(' '); 
              d[2] = d[2] + ','; 

              return [d[0], d[1], d[2], d[3]].join(' ');
} 
              var datemilli = Date.parse('Sun May 11,2014'); 
              console.log(taskDate(datemilli));

 
The code above gives me the same date format, sun may 11,2014. How can I fix this? Any help will be appreciated!!

You could try using the following lines of code:

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('-'); 
} 

console.log(formatDate('Sun May 11,2014'));


Usage example:

console.log(formatDate('Sun May 11,2014'));

Output:

2014-05-11
