Am trying to learn angular2+ and i want to make a GoogleCalendar's like scheduler app.
After many research, i decided to use PrimeNG. The output format of the calendar is
2016-01-16T16:00:00
that's seems great and complete. But the api i want to interract with uses timeStamp...
I tried to make a Javascript function who's parsing my date format :
function toTimestamp(strDate){
var datum = Date.parse(strDate);
return datum/1000;
}
alert(toTimestamp('02/13/2009 23:31:30'));
But my problem is that i can't use the format of PrimeNG...
Did anyone know how can i interact corectly with the format i need to convert to a timestamp?
else did anyone know how can i get this date format ( 2016-01-16T16:00:00 ) to a timestamp using angular2+ ?
Thanks very much !!
You can use plain javascript:
let time = new Date("2016-01-16T16:00:00");
alert(time.getTime());
This will return you a timestamp. Just be aware of timezones.
You can use momentjs to get the desired timestamp.
eg: moment("2016-01-16T16:00:00").format("MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm:ss")
The output will be:
"01/16/2016 16:00:00"
You are on the right path as far as i can see.
I suggest you use the Javascript Date https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date
to create a new Date instead of trying to parse the raw output of primeng.
new Date()
can be use with a multitude of parameters.
If new Date(datestring)
is not working out as I would expect, use split to split your output string into variables that u can use to fill
new Date(year, month[, day[, hour[, minutes[, seconds[, milliseconds]]]]]);
This might be a little bit of sweat work but it should do the trick.
This is my first answer so please mods be gentle with my formatting.
