Convert dd.mm.yyyy format to yyyy-mm-dd

Question

How can I convert dd.mm.yyyy format date to yyyy-mm-dd format in JavaScript?

Here is an example:

30.01.2010
to 
2010-01-30

Meaning convert d.m.Y to Y-m-d. I know how to do this in PHP but I need it in JavaScript.

Answer 1

You can do this pretty simply. Just split the european date into an array, reverse it, and then join it with dashes.

var euro_date = '30.01.2010';
euro_date = euro_date.split('.');
var us_date = euro_date.reverse().join('-');
