I am getting table data from json,Here date is displaying as1238626800000.
How can I convertit to normal date format like10-02-2017

Any help?

• javascript
• jquery
• html

• How do I ask a good question?: "If it is possible to create a live example of the problem that you can link to (for example, on sqlfiddle. or jsbin.) then do so - but also include the code in your question itself. Not everyone can access external sites, and the links may break over time." – Andreas Commented Apr 17, 2017 at 12:17

What you have as the number "1238626800000" is a UNIX timestamp (i.e. the number of miliseconds since 1 January 1970).

JavaScript Date object recognizes this, so simply try:

new Date(parseInt(leaveList[i].leaveOn))

instead of

leaveList[i].leaveOn

In order to format it so it appears as "12-02-2017", you can use a function:

function unix_to_readable(timestamp) {
    var date = new Date(parseInt(timestamp)) ;
    return ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2) + '-'
         + ('0' + (date.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2) + '-'
         + date.getFullYear();
}

Second fiddle here: https://jsfiddle/7534hwee/2/

You can convert your timestamp string to a JavaScript date object, then use the toISOString method to create your formatted date like this:

function formatDate(inputStr) {
    var timestamp = parseInt(inputStr, 10);
    var date = new Date(timestamp);
    return date.toISOString().substr(0, 10);
}

console.log(formatDate("1238626800000"));

See updated fiddle: https://jsfiddle/pahund/tytzuckz/1/

This helps me to convert json data to date format..

function formatDate(inputStr) {
  var timestamp = parseInt(inputStr, 10);
  var date = new Date(timestamp);
  var a =date.toISOString().substr(0, 10);

  var datePart = a.match(/\d+/g),
  year = datePart[0].substring(2), 
  month = datePart[1], day = datePart[2];
  return day+'-'+month+'-'+year;

 }
