jquery function to convert datetime, split date time "2010-10-18 10:06" to return "18/10/2010" and "10:06"

Question

Hi I was wondering if there is any jquery function around which can take this dateTime "2010-10-18 10:06" and convert and split it returning "2010/10/18" and "10:06".

It would be also nice if the same function could either receive "2010-10-18 10:06" or "2010-10-18" only and return as mentioned above, or different formats besides "2010/10/18" like 18-10-2010" or and 18th of October 2010, giving the option but not that important, just curious about jQuery power dealing with dates.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Converting with DateJs should be as easy as:

var d1 = Date.parse('2010-10-18, 10:06 AM');
alert(d1.toString('dd/mm/yyyy HH:mm:ss GMT'));

It's currently the best library around

Answer 2

Without a any external jQuery plugin like DateJs. We can get the date as given below.

var datetime= '2010-10-18 10:06 AM' // Default datetime will be like this.

//By Spliting the input control value with space
var date=datetime.split(' ')[0];
//date -2010-10-18
