Format Date time in AngularJS

Question

How do I properly display the date and time in AngularJS?

The output below shows both the input and the output, with and without the AngularJS date filter:

In: {{v.Dt}}  
AngularJS: {{v.Dt | date:'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z'}}

This prints:

In: 2012-10-16T17:57:28.556094Z 
AngularJS: 2012-10-16T17:57:28.556094Z

The desired display format is 2010-10-28 23:40:23 0400 or 2010-10-28 23:40:23 EST

Answer 1

v.Dt is likely not a Date() object.

See http://jsfiddle.net/southerd/xG2t8/

but in your controller:

scope.v.Dt = Date.parse(scope.v.Dt);

Answer 2

Here is a filter that will take a date string OR javascript Date() object. It uses Moment.js and can apply any Moment.js transform function, such as the popular 'fromNow'

angular.module('myModule').filter('moment', function () {
  return function (input, momentFn /*, param1, param2, ...param n */) {
    var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 2),
        momentObj = moment(input);
    return momentObj[momentFn].apply(momentObj, args);
  };
});

So...

{{ anyDateObjectOrString | moment: 'format': 'MMM DD, YYYY' }}

would display Nov 11, 2014

{{ anyDateObjectOrString | moment: 'fromNow' }}

would display 10 minutes ago

If you need to call multiple moment functions, you can chain them. This converts to UTC and then formats...

{{ someDate | moment: 'utc' | moment: 'format': 'MMM DD, YYYY' }}

Have you seen the Writing directives (short version) section of the documentation?

HTML

<div ng-controller="Ctrl2">
      Date format: <input ng-model="format"> <hr/>
      Current time is: <span my-current-time="format"></span>
</div> 

JS

function Ctrl2($scope) {
  $scope.format = 'M/d/yy h:mm:ss a';
}

Answer 4

Your code should work as you have it see this fiddle.

You'll have to make sure your v.Dt is a proper Date object for it to work though.

{{dt | date:'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z'}}

or if dateFormat is defined in scope as dateFormat = 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z':

{{dt | date:dateFormat }}

Answer 5

Inside a controller the format can be filtered by injecting $filter.

var date = $filter('date')(new Date(),'MMM dd, yyyy');

Answer 6

I would suggest you to use moment.js it has got a good support for date formatting according to locales.

create a filter that internally uses moment.js method for formatting date.

Answer 7

Simplly if you want to output like "Jan 30, 2017 4:31:20 PM" then follow to simple step

step1- Declare following variable in js controller

$scope.current_time = new Date();

step2- display in html page like

{{current_time | date:'medium'}}

Answer 8

You can use momentjs to implement date-time filter in angularjs. For example:

angular.module('myApp')
 .filter('formatDateTime', function ($filter) {
    return function (date, format) {
        if (date) {
            return moment(Number(date)).format(format || "DD/MM/YYYY h:mm A");
        }
        else
            return "";
    };
});

Where date is in time stamp format.

Answer 9

I know this is an old item, but thought I'd throw in another option to consider.

As the original string doesn't include the "T" demarker, the default implementation in Angular doesn't recognize it as a date. You can force it using new Date, but that is a bit of a pain on an array. Since you can pipe filters together, you might be able to use a filter to convert your input to a date and then apply the date: filter on the converted date. Create a new custom filter as follows:

app
.filter("asDate", function () {
    return function (input) {
        return new Date(input);
    }
});

Then in your markup, you can pipe the filters together:

{{item.myDateTimeString | asDate | date:'shortDate'}}

Answer 10

Add $filter dependency in controller.

var formatted_datetime = $filter('date')(variable_Containing_time,'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z')

Answer 11

Here are a few popular examples:

<div>{{myDate | date:'M/d/yyyy'}}</div> 7/4/2014

<div>{{myDate | date:'yyyy-MM-dd'}}</div> 2014-07-04

<div>{{myDate | date:'M/d/yyyy HH:mm:ss'}}</div> 7/4/2014 12:01:59

Answer 12

you can get the 'date' filter like this:

var today = $filter('date')(new Date(),'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z');

This will give you today's date in format you want.

Answer 13

we can format the date on view side in angular is very easy....please check the below example:

{{dt | date : "dd-MM-yyyy"}}
