Javascript date format method

Question

Having trouble with this:

var now = new Date();
var timestamp = now.format("dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:ss") + " (" + GetLoggedUserName() + ")"; 

I get: Object doesn't support property or method 'format'

I was sure this worked before though on other projects..

Answer 1

The format() function is not standard for Date objects in javascript.

You have most likely seen this in an application running a date formatting library such as moment.js.

http://momentjs.com/

moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a');

Your example could be rewrote in moment.js like this:

var timestamp = moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss") + " (" + GetLoggedUserName() + ")";
