The wrong date format in Javascript

Question

I am using luxon library to convert the time:

const DateTime = luxon.DateTime;

console.log(DateTime.local('Sun Jan 23 2003 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)').toISODate())Copy

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/luxon@2.3.1/build/global/luxon.min.js"></script>Copy

I expect to get this format: 2003-04-23
Why i get null and how to get the expected format using luxon?

Answer 1

You have the date format wrong, Luxon’s format that belongs in .local is year?, month, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond

Example:

const DateTime = luxon.DateTime;

console.log(
DateTime.local(2003, 1, 23, 17, 36) .toISODate())Copy

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/luxon@2.3.1/build/global/luxon.min.js"></script>Copy

For your case you can use the code below to get what you are looking for.

const DateTime = luxon.DateTime;
const date = new Date("Sun Jan 23 2003 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)")
const dat = DateTime.fromJSDate(date)
console.log(dat.toFormat('MM-dd-yyyy'))Copy

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/luxon@2.3.1/build/global/luxon.min.js"></script>Copy

Answer 2

can be done with pure date

var date =new Date("Sun Jan 23 2003 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)")
const DateTime = luxon.DateTime;
var dat = DateTime.fromJSDate(date)
console.log(dat.toString().split("T")[0])Copy
