Date In JavaScript/TS

Why we need to konw date?

• We need to handle date time-zone influence during international project.
• We need to konw date format showing in client.

How can we learn it?

1. Jave Script Document
2. ES5/6 Document
3. Test in browsers

What is the solution/result?

1. UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) is the same as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
2. Omitting T or Z in a date-time string can give different results in different browsers.
3. (TZ)When setting a date, without specifying the time zone, JavaScript will use the browser’s time zone.
4. (TZ)When getting a date, without specifying the time zone, the result is converted to the browser’s time zone.
5. (TZ)In other words: If a date/time is created in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), the date/time will be converted to CDT (Central US Daylight Time) if a user browses from central US.
6. In some browsers, months or days with no leading zeroes may produce an error:

const d = new Date("2015-3-25");

7. The behavior of “YYYY/MM/DD” is undefined.
   Some browsers will try to guess the format. Some will return NaN.

const d = new Date("2015/03/25")

8. The behavior of “DD-MM-YYYY” is also undefined.
   Some browsers will try to guess the format. Some will return NaN.

const d = new Date("25-03-2015");

9. UTC

const d = (new Date()).toUTCString(); // 'Wed, 09 Mar 2022 07:18:02 GMT'

10. ISO

const d = (new Date()).toISOString(); // '2022-03-09T07:18:59.078Z'

11. Local

const d = (new Date()).toLocaleString(); // '2022/3/9 13:58:15'
