Moment.js Parsing String+Format is used when we want to parse a date string through the given format string. The parser will ignore the non-alphanumeric characters of the format. It returns the parsed date as a Moment object.
Syntax:
moment(String, String, Boolean);
Parameters: This method accepts three parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- String: This is the date string to be parsed.
- String: It is the format that will be used for parsing the date.
- Boolean: It specifies whether strict parsing would be used for the parsing.
Return Value: This function returns the parsed date as a Moment object.
Note: This will not work in the normal Node.js program because it requires the moment.js library to be installed.
Moment.js can be installed using the following command:
npm install moment
Example 1: Getting the date as output.
Javascript
const moment = require("moment");
let date = moment("01-11-2022", "MM-DD-YYYY");
console.log("The date is", date);
|
Output:
The date is Moment<2022-01-11T00:00:00+05:53>
Example 2: The parser ignores non-alphanumeric characters by default.
Javascript
const moment = require("moment");
let date = moment("2022/12/01", "YYYY-MM-DD");
console.log("The date is", date);
|
Output:
The date is Moment<2022-12-01T00:00:00+05:30>
