using moment.js to make your time format nicer
moment.js is a very nice way to handle multiple date strings and output them in a nicer format.
grab the latest copy of momen from cdnjs
lets say our date is in this format, i think this is unix timestamp
1615766400
we can pass this date into moment js and it will make it into something actually readable
if you dont want to use an additional library you can also use the toGMTString function which also works.
Scripts
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.29.1/moment.min.js"></script>Javascript
// to get the formatted date we still need to pass it through the Date function in javascript
the_date_raw = "1615766400";
// var dateTime = new Date(the_date_raw*1000); /* not sure why this has * 1000 on it, but it seems to require it for a valid date. */
var dateTime = new Date(the_date_raw*1000);
var formatted_date = moment(dateTime).format('MMMM Do YYYY');
console.log(formatted_date);
// version not using moment.js
var formatted_date_gmt = dateTime.toGMTString();
console.log(formatted_date_gmt);View Statistics
