Question

I get from my client a date in this format:

2012-11-07T00:00:00 (yyyy-mm-ddT00:00:00)

How can I parse it into a Date object?

My first option is:

• getting the first 10 characters (2012-11-07)
• split that by “-“
• creating new Date(splitted[0],splitted[1],splitter[2])

I know that such a question is obvious and over-answered, not only in Stack Overflow, but I want to:

• know a better practice WITHOUT any library, pure JS ( Date.parse() ? )
• the same with a widely used date library / framework for nodeJS

Answer 1

var d = new Date(‘2012-11-07T00:00:00’)
