Question

I need to format a JavaScript date. I am using the jQuery Weekcalendar plugin and it kind of provides its own date format.

Input is:

Thu Jan 10 2013 11:15:00 GMT+0100 (CET) 

Output should be:

2013-10-01 11:15:00

Can you help me to solve this?

Answer 1

moment.js helps a lot when dealing with time and date in JavaScript

moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss'); // for example: 2013-10-01 11:15:00

Update:

To use moment.js with your existing date object you need to create a wrapper

var myDateWrapper = moment(calEvent.start);
console.log(myDateWrapper.format('YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss')) // that's what you want
