How to parse ISO 8601 into date and time format using Moment js in Javascript?

Question

I am currently using Moment js to parse an ISO 8601 string into date and time, but it is not working properly. What am I doing wrong? And I would take any other easier solutions as well.

The ISO 8601 I would like to parse: "2011-04-11T10:20:30Z" into date in string: "2011-04-11" and time in string: "10:20:30"

And tried console.log(moment("2011-04-11T10:20:30Z" ,moment.ISO_8601)) and console.log(moment("2011-04-11T10:20:30Z" , ["YYYY",moment.ISO_8601]) as a test, but it just returns an object with all different kinds of properties.

Answer 1

With moment.js

var str = '2011-04-11T10:20:30Z';  var date = moment(str);  var dateComponent = date.utc().format('YYYY-MM-DD');  var timeComponent = date.utc().format('HH:mm:ss');  console.log(dateComponent);  console.log(timeComponent);

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.15.1/moment.min.js"></script>

Or simply with string manipulation

var str = '2011-04-11T10:20:30Z';  var parts = str.slice(0, -1).split('T');  var dateComponent = parts[0];  var timeComponent = parts[1];  console.log(dateComponent);  console.log(timeComponent);

There's two parts to the moment operation: reading the date/time in, and spitting it back out. You've got the first part:

moment("2011-04-11T10:20:30Z") 

but then you need to call an output function, eg:

moment("2011-04-11T10:20:30Z").format('YYYY-MM-DD h:mm:ss a') 

EDIT: However it's worth noting that Moment itself is a deprecated library, and even its authors will recommend switching to a smaller competitor: https://momentjs.com/docs/
