Get GMT String from current Date

问题:

I am able to get the output format that I need, but not the correct time. I need it in GMT (which is +4 hours)

var dt = new Date();
var dt2 = dt.toString('yyyyMMddhhmmss');

Any ideas? The output looks like:

20120403031408

I am able to get the GMT in standard string format by doing:

dt.toUTCString();

but im unable to convert it back to the yyyyMMddhhmmss string

EDIT: I am using the date.js library

回答1:

date.js's toString(format) doesn't have an option to specify "UTC" when formatting dates. The method itself (at the bottom of the file) never references any of Date's getUTC... methods, which would be necessary to support such an option.

You may consider using a different library, such as Steven Levithan's dateFormat. With it, you can either prefix the format with UTC:, or pass true after the format:

var utcFormatted = dateFormat(new Date(), 'UTC:yyyyMMddhhmmss');
var utcFormatted = dateFormat(new Date(), 'yyyyMMddhhmmss', true);

// also
var utcFormatted = new Date().format('yyyyMMddhhmmss', true);

You can also write your own function, as Dominic demonstrated.

The key is to use the getUTC functions :

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

/* use a function for the exact format desired... */  
function ISODateString(d){  
  function pad(n) { return n < 10 ? '0'+n : n }
  return d.getUTCFullYear() + '-'  
       + pad(d.getUTCMonth() +1) + '-'  
       + pad(d.getUTCDate()) + 'T'  
       + pad(d.getUTCHours()) + ':'  
       + pad(d.getUTCMinutes()) + ':'  
       + pad(d.getUTCSeconds()) + 'Z'  
}  

var d = new Date();  
console.log(ISODateString(d)); // prints something like 2009-09-28T19:03:12Z
