Question

I have a quastion. So I get from server a variable with date-time string which looks like this: '31/08/2015 13:24'. How can extract from this string separately date and time?

Answer 1

You could split the string:

var dateTime = '31/08/2015 13:24'.split(" ");
console.log(dateTime[0]); //date
console.log(dateTime[1]); //time

Or use js Date object to get the day, month, year, hours, etc:

var dateTime = new Date('31/08/2015 13:24');
