How to split strings in javascript?

Question

I want to split the datetime in the below object to date and time separately.

 let A = {
 datetime: '2019-02-01 15:30:43' 
 }

And save it in two different variables.

Answer 1

You can use split() e.g.

var splitString = A.datetime.split(" ");
// Returns array, ['2019-02-01','15:30:43']

You can access this with splitString[0] for the date and splitString[1] for the time.

Answer 2

You can use moment.js library if you don't want any surprises.

moment(A.datetime).format('L'); // get date only
moment(A.datetime).format('LTS') // get time only.

You can have specific date and time format as well when using momentjs.

You may also use JavaScript's Date class for this.

const date = new Date(A.datetime);
//to get date
date.getDate() +' '+date.getMonth()+' '+date.getFullYear();
//to get time.
date.getHours()+' '+date.getMinutes()+' '+date.getSeconds();

• Vinay N: Do I need to import anything else to get "moment().format()" to working ? I'm using this in a react-native project, that's why I'm asking
• user5283119: You just need to import moment. Which you can do like import moment from 'moment' providing you're using npm/yarn for your packages. Otherwise you can import it from the CDN.
• RIYAJ KHAN: @VinayNarayankutty check this home page. momentjs.com/docs/.They have given in details how to use
• user5283119: @RIYAJKHAN your time doesn't work, the method you need is getSeconds() not getMilliseconds() I have edited your answer, if you could peer review it that'd be cool.
