Format patterns ↑

The patterns to formatting are based on java.text.SimpleDateFormat

download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

Date and time patterns ↑

  • yyyy = year

  • MM = month

  • MMM = month abbreviation (Jan, Feb … Dec)

  • dd = day

  • hh = hour in am/pm (1-12)

  • HH = hour in day (0-23)

  • mm = minute

  • ss = second

  • a = am/pm marker

Expected input dates formats ↑

  • 2009-12-18 10:54:50.546 (default java.util.Date.toString output)

  • Wed Jan 13 10:43:41 CET 2010 (???)

  • 2010-10-19T11:40:33.527+02:00 (default JAXB formatting of java.util.Date)

  • Sat Mar 05 2011 11:47:35 GMT-0300 (BRT) (default JavaScript new Date().toString() output)

Examples ↑

Formatting using css classes ↑

<span class="shortDateFormat">2009-12-18 10:54:50.546</span>
<span class="longDateFormat">2009-12-18 10:54:50.546</span>

output ↑

#1 18/12/2009
#2 18/12/2009 10:54:50

Formatting using JavaScript ↑

<script>
  document.write($.format.date("2009-12-18 10:54:50.546", "Test: dd/MM/yyyy"));
  document.write($.format.date("Wed Jan 13 10:43:41 CET 2010", "dd~MM~yyyy"));
</script>

output ↑

#1 Test: 18/12/2009
#2 18~12~2009

Tips ↑

The css class names patterns by default are

  • shortDateFormat = dd/MM/yyyy

  • longDateFormat = dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss

You can change the patterns in jquery.dateFormat
