Create Date with year in two digits

  • 772

To my bad luck, an API that we use in a project, returns the dates with the string format 211119, taking into account that this date is 2021/11/19I would like to be able to create an object Dateand be able to compare it with another... obviously the first thing I try is to apply a slice, create the date but I believe the date 1921/11/19.

var fecha = '211119';
var anio = fecha.slice(0, 2);
var mes = parseInt(fecha.slice(2, 4));
var dia = fecha.slice(4, 6);
console.log(moment(new Date(anio, mes - 1 , dia)).format('DD/MM/YYYY'))
<script src="https://momentjs.com/downloads/moment.js"></script>

Output:

1921/11/19

    In Javascript, the two digits default to dates between 1900-1999, as you can see here .

    But with moment.jsyou can correctly create your object Dateby applying the method toDateas follows:

    var dateString = '211119';
var dateFormat = 'YYMMDD';
var newDate=moment(dateString, dateFormat).toDate();    
console.log(newDate);

    Output:

    Fri Nov 19 2021 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (CET)
