Javascript equivalent of php s strtotime

Question

In PHP  you can easily convert an English textual datetime description into a proper date with strtotime     Is there anything similar in Javascript

User · Answer

Browser support for parsing strings is inconsistent. Because there is no specification on which formats should be supported, what works in some browsers will not work in other browsers.

Try Moment.js - it provides cross-browser functionality for parsing dates:

var timestamp = moment("2013-02-08 09:30:26.123");
console.log(timestamp.milliseconds()); // return timestamp in milliseconds
console.log(timestamp.second()); // return timestamp in seconds

There are few modules that provides similar behavior  but not exactly like PHP s strtotime  Among few alternatives I found date-util  yields the best results

I jealous the strtotime   in php  but I do mine in javascript using moment  Not as sweet as that from php  but does the trick neatly too      first day of the month var firstDayThisMonth   moment firstDayThisMonth  startOf  month   toDate      Go back and forth using the subtract   and add   with the endOf   and startOf        last day of previous month var yesterMonthLastDay   moment yesterMonthLastDay  subtract 1  months   endOf  month   toDate

Maybe you can exploit a sample function like     x000D   x000D  function strtotime date  addTime   x000D    let generatedTime date getTime    x000D    if addTime seconds  generatedTime  1000 addTime seconds    check for additional seconds  x000D    if addTime minutes  generatedTime  1000 60 addTime minutes   check for additional minutes  x000D    if addTime hours  generatedTime  1000 60 60 addTime hours   check for additional hours  x000D    return new Date generatedTime   x000D    x000D   x000D  let futureDate   strtotime new Date      x000D      hours  1    Adding one hour x000D      minutes  45   Adding fourty five minutes x000D        x000D  document body innerHTML   futureDate  x000D   x000D   x000D

I found this article and tried the tutorial  Basically  you can use the date constructor to parse a date  then write get the seconds from the getTime   method  var d new Date  October 13  1975 11 13 00    document write d getTime       milliseconds since 1970 01 01      Does this work

Check out this implementation of PHP s strtotime   in JavaScript  I found that it works identically to PHP for everything that I threw at it   Update  this function as per version 1 0 2 can t handle this case   2007 07 20 20 52 45   Note the   separator for year and month   Update 2018  This is now available as an npm module  Simply npm install locutus and then in your source  var strtotime   require  locutus php datetime strtotime

Yes  it is  And it is supported in all major browser   var ts   Date parse  date string      The only difference is that this function returns milliseconds instead of seconds  so you need to divide the result by 1000   Check what valid formats can JavaScript parse
