Formatting Date in javascript [duplicate]

Question

I want date with this format : '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S+0000'. I wrote a function but still asking myself if there is not better way to do this. This is my function :

 function formatDate() { var d = new Date(); var year = d.getMonth() + 1; var day = d.getDate(); var month = d.getMonth() + 1; var hour = d.getHours(); var min = d.getMinutes(); var sec = d.getSeconds(); var date = d.getFullYear() + "-" + (month < 10 ? '0' + month : month) + "-" + (day < 10 ? '0' + day : day) + "T" + (hour < 10 ? '0' + hour : hour) + ":" + (min < 10 ? '0' + min : min) + ":" + (sec < 10 ? '0' + sec : sec) + "+0000"; return date; }

Any ideal on how to do this with less code ?

I recommend against moment.js in this case. Your solution, while not particularly pretty (Date formatting just isn't nice to code), is going to be a hell of a lot lighter than importing even a lightweight date library. — gelliott181

It can be done in one line. I made two lines to make it simpler. Combine line 2 and 3.

var d = new Date(); date = d.toISOString().toString(); var formattedDate = date.substring(0, date.lastIndexOf(".")) + "+0000"; console.log(formattedDate);

Use moment.js.

moment().format('YYYY-MM-DDTh:mm:ss+0000')

JSBIN

console.log(moment().format('YYYY-MM-DDTh:mm:ss+0000'))

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/momentjs/2.14.1/moment-with-locales.min.js"></script>

var d = new Date(); var dateString = d.getUTCFullYear() +"-"+ (d.getUTCMonth()+1) +"-"+ d.getUTCDate() + " " + d.getUTCHours() + ":" + d.getUTCMinutes() + ":" + d.getUTCSeconds()+"+0000";

getUTCMonth returns 0 - 11, so want to add one before you convert to string.
