Combine date and time string into single date with javascript

Question

I have a datepicker returning a date string, and a timepicker returning just a time string.

How should I combine those into a single javascript Date?

I thought I found a solution in Date.js. The examples shows an at( )-method, but I can't find it in the library...

Answer 1

You can configure your date picker to return format like YYYY-mm-dd (or any format that Date.parse supports) and you could build a string in timepicker like:

 var dateStringFromDP = '2013-05-16';   $('#timepicker').timepicker().on('changeTime.timepicker', function(e) {     var timeString = e.time.hour + ':' + e.time.minute + ':00';     var dateObj = new Date(datestringFromDP + ' ' + timeString);   }); 

javascript Date object takes a string as the constructor param

Answer 2

Combine date and time to string like this:

1997-07-16T19:20:15 

Then you can parse it like this:

Date.parse('1997-07-16T19:20:15'); 

You could also use moment.js or something similar.
