How to convert milliseconds into a readable date

Question

The following   new Date 1324339200000  toUTCString     Outputs    Tue  20 Dec 2011 00 00 00 GMT    I need it to return Dec 20  Is there a better method I can use besides toUTCString    I am looking for any way to parse through milliseconds  to return a human readable date

I  just tested this and it works fine  var d   new Date 1441121836000     The data object has a constructor which takes milliseconds as an argument

You can do it with just a few lines of pure js codes   var date   new Date 1324339200000       var dateToStr   date toUTCString   split           var cleanDate   dateToStr 2          dateToStr 1    console log cleanDate     returns Dec 20  Hope it helps

You can use datejs and convert in different formate  I have tested some formate and working fine    var d   new Date 1469433907836    d toLocaleString          7 25 2016  1 35 07 PM d toLocaleDateString      7 25 2016 d toDateString            Mon Jul 25 2016 d toTimeString            13 35 07 GMT 0530  India Standard Time  d toLocaleTimeString      1 35 07 PM d toISOString             2016-07-25T08 05 07 836Z d toJSON                  2016-07-25T08 05 07 836Z d toString                Mon Jul 25 2016 13 35 07 GMT 0530  India Standard Time  d toUTCString             Mon  25 Jul 2016 08 05 07 GMT

Using the library Datejs you can accomplish this quite elegantly  with its toString format specifiers  http   jsfiddle net TeRnM 1    var date   new Date 1324339200000    date toString  MMM dd        Dec 20

This is a solution  Later you can split by     and take the values of the array          Converts milliseconds to human readeable language separated by        Example  190980000 -- gt  2 05 3 -- gt  2days 5hours 3min     function dhm t       var cd   24   60   60   1000          ch   60   60   1000          d   Math floor t   cd           h    0    Math floor   t - d   cd    ch           m    0    Math round   t - d   cd - h   ch    60000       return  d  h substr -2   m substr -2   join            Example var delay   190980000                     var fullTime   dhm delay   console log fullTime

No  you ll need to do it manually    x000D   x000D  function prettyDate date    x000D    var months     Jan    Feb    Mar    Apr    May    Jun   x000D                   Jul    Aug    Sep    Oct    Nov    Dec    x000D   x000D    return months date getUTCMonth            date getUTCDate            date getUTCFullYear    x000D    x000D   x000D  console log prettyDate new Date 1324339200000     x000D   x000D   x000D
