Angular Date Filtering to Show dd-mm-yyyy Format

Question

Angular Date Filtering to Show dd-mm-yyyy Format

I am having trouble filtering the date correctly in my controller.

My desired date format is

Thu Mar 31 2016 05:05:00 GMT-0400 (EDT)

.

However, when I use the code mentioned above, the results show up as 03-31-2016.

This is the code snippet from my controller:

$scope.date = "2016-03-31T05:05:00Z";

var results = $filter('date')($scope.date, "EEE MMM DD YYYY HH:mm:ss GMT Z (EDT)");

Can someone please help me identify what's causing this issue and provide a solution? Running Angular version 1.2.26.

Here is a demonstration using filters, as well as an alternative method using momentjs for improved timezone and formatting flexibility.

Keep in mind that angularjs filters are restricted to the browser's timezone.

It's worth noting that while momentjs (with timezone support) has been inserted directly here, there are various wrappers available for integrating it more seamlessly as a service or directive within AngularJS.

(function() {
  
  "use strict";
  
  angular.module("app", [])
    .controller("ctrl1", ["$scope", "$filter", CtrlOne])
    .controller("ctrl2", ["$scope", "$filter", "$window", CtrlTwo]);

  function CtrlOne($scope, $filter) {
    // Refer to 'Timezones' at the end of: https://code.angularjs.org/1.2.26/docs/guide/i18n
    // Essentially, using filters will employ the browser's timezone, so hardcoding '(EDT)' could be inaccurate for users outside your timezone.
    $scope.date = "2016-03-31T05:05:00Z"; //Note that 'Z' denotes UTC 0
    $scope.results = $filter('date')($scope.date, "EEE MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss 'GMT'Z '(EDT)'");
  }

  function CtrlTwo($scope, $filter, $window) {
    // Leveraging MomentJS with timezones enables you to specify timezones and offers more formatting choices.
    // Additionally, note that the date string being formatted below uses -04:00 instead of Z to signify its timezone.
    // Check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_zone_designators
    var moment = $window.moment;
    $scope.results = moment.tz("2016-03-31T05:05:00-04:00", "America/New_York").format("ddd MMM DD YYYY HH:mm:ss [GMT]Z [(]z[)]");
  }
})();

Your current filtration method needs adjustment. Try the following:

angular.module("app", []).controller("ctrl", ["$scope", "$filter", function ($scope, $filter) {
    $scope.date = "2016-03-31T05:05:00Z";
    $scope.results = $filter('date')($scope.date, "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.sssZ");
}]);

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="app">
    <div ng-controller="ctrl">{{results}}</div>
</div>

It seems like there might be a small mistake in your code where you are trying to format the date as 03-31-2016. Make sure that DD is changed to dd, YYYY is changed to yyyy, and the M in GMT should be enclosed in single quotes. Additionally, remember to include a timezone or remove the Z at the end of the filter.

var result = $filter('date')("2016-03-31T05:05:00", "EEE MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss G'M'TZ (EDT)", "");
console.log(result);

After running some tests using the following code snippet, I believe this is the solution you are looking for.

JavaScript code:

 var result = $filter('date')('2016-03-31T05:05:00Z', 'EEE MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss GMT Z (EDT)');
    console.log(result);

HTML:

{{dtEmp | date: 'EEE MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss GMT Z (EDT)' }}

Don't forget to clear your browser's cache as well.

Final Result:

Thu Mar 31 2016 16:05:00 AD3T +1100 (EDT)
