How can I convert string to datetime with format specification in JavaScript?

I have a json response which contains a hashmap like;

{"map":{"2012-10-10 03:47:00.0":23.400000000000002,"2012-10-10 03:52:00.0":23.3,"2012-10-10 03:57:00.0":23.3,"2012-10-10 04:02:00.0":23.3,"2012-10-10 04:07:00.0":23.200000000000003,"2012-10-10 04:13:00.0":23.1,"2012-10-10 04:18:00.0":23.1,"2012-10-10 04:23:00.0":23.0,"2012-10-10 04:28:00.0":23.0,"2012-10-10 04:33:00.0":23.0,"2012-10-10 04:38:00.0":22.900000000000002,"2012-10-10 04:43:00.0":22.8,"2012-10-10 04:48:00.0":22.8,"2012-10-10 04:53:00.0":22.700000000000003,"2012-10-10 04:58:00.0":22.6,"2012-10-10 05:03:00.0":22.6,"2012-10-10 05:08:00.0":22.5,"2012-10-10 05:13:00.0":22.5,"2012-10-10 05:18:00.0":22.5,"2012-10-10 05:23:00.0":22.400000000000002}}

I want to format datetime part of json like;

dd/mm/yyyy HH:mm:ss

Lets assume I put all pair elements like this;

var myArr = [["2012-10-10 03:47:00.0", 23.400000000000002], ["2012-10-10 03:52:00.0", 23.3], ....];

Then, I try to parse datetime part like below and I got Date {Invalid Date} on console;

new Date(myArr[0][0]);

How can I format this type of datetime.

Answer 1

Try the following:

new Date(Date.parse(myArr[0][0]));

EXAMPLE

Use the Date.parse method to parse the string into the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. Take that number of milliseconds and call the Date method once again to turn that time into a date object.

EDIT:

Well this may be a little ugly for this case, but it seems Firefox is having an issue with the -s and the 00.0.

var myArr = [["2012-10-10 03:47:00.0", 23.400000000000002], ["2012-10-10 03:52:00.0", 23.3]];

var date = convertDateTime(myArr[0][0]);
console.log(date);

function convertDateTime(dateTime){
    dateTime = myArr[0][0].split(" ");

    var date = dateTime[0].split("-");
    var yyyy = date[0];
    var mm = date[1]-1;
    var dd = date[2];

    var time = dateTime[1].split(":");
    var h = time[0];
    var m = time[1];
    var s = parseInt(time[2]); //get rid of that 00.0;

    return new Date(yyyy,mm,dd,h,m,s);
}
