How to change Gregorian date to Persian date in JavaScript?

Question

Can anyone help me to change Gregorian date to Persian in JavaScript? I want to use it in HTML and JavaScript.

Answer 1

You can use toLocaleDateString();

let today = new Date().toLocaleDateString('fa-IR'); console.log(today);

fa-IR is for Farsi-Iran,

other dates is as follow:

en-US: For English

hi-IN: For Hindi

...

also you can set options as second argument, for example:

let options = { year: 'numeric', month: 'long', day: 'numeric' }; new Date().toLocaleDateString('fa-IR', options); 

and in order to convert characters to Latin digits you can do:

  let today = new Date().toLocaleDateString('fa-IR'); today.replace(/([۰-۹])/g, token => String.fromCharCode(token.charCodeAt(0) - 1728));
