Let say date current date is 10 Jan 2011. When I get date using js code
var now = new Date();
var currentDate = now.getDate() + '-' + (now.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + now.getFullYear();
It reutrns "10-1-2011"
but I want "10-01-2011" (2 places format)
var now = new Date();
alert((now .getMonth() < 9 ? '0' : '') + (now .getMonth() + 1))
Here's a nice short way:
('0' + (now.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2)
So:
var currentDate = now.getDate() + '-' + ('0' + (now.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + '-' + now.getFullYear();
(now.getMonth() + 1) adjust the month
'0' + prepends a "0" resulting in "01" or "012" for example
.slice(-2) slice off the last 2 characters resulting in "01" or "12"
function leftPad(text, length, padding) {
padding = padding || "0";
text = text + "";
var diff = length - text.length;
if (diff > 0)
for (;diff--;) text = padding + text;
return text;
}
var now = new Date();
var currentDate = leftPad(now.getDate(), 2) + '-' + leftPad(now.getMonth() + 1, 2js) + '-' + now.getFullYear();
the quick and nasty method:
var now = new Date();
var month = now.getMonth() + 1;
var currentDate = now.getDate() + '-' + (month < 10 ? '0' + month : month) + '-' + now.getFullYear();
var now = new Date();
now.format("dd-mm-yyyy");
would give 10-01-2011
