Question

how to convert this

Sun Jan 08 2012 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (Sri Lanka Standard Time)

into

2012-01-08

with javascript?

Regards

Edit:

i was actually working with extjs and didn’t know there is a built in way to do this with extjs

so i manage to do this

var date = new Date("Sun Jan 08 2012 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (Sri Lanka Standard Time)");
console.log(Ext.Date.format(date, 'Y-m-d'));

which gives me 2012-01-08

Answer 1

To date contructor you can pass a date string 🙂

var date = new Date("Sun Jan 08 2012 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (Sri Lanka Standard Time)");
[ date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth() + 1 , date.getDate() + 1 ].join("-");
 //"2012-1-8"
