Deprecation warning: moment construction falls back to js Date

Question

I am attempting to convert this datetime

150423160509 //this is utc datetime

To the following format:

2015-04-24 00:05:09 //local timezone

by using the moment.js

var moment = require('moment-timezone');


var a = moment.tz('150423160509', "Asia/Taipei");
console.log( a.format("YYYY-MM-DD H:m:s") );

but it gives me this error

Deprecation warning: moment construction falls back to js Date. This is discouraged and will be removed in upcoming major release

Answer 1

You need to tell moment how to parse your date format, like this:

var parsedDate = moment.utc("150423160509", "YYMMDDHHmmss");
var a = parsedDate.tz("Asia/Taipei");

// I'm assuming you meant HH:mm:ss here
console.log( a.format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss") );
