Convert values in array to date objects jquery

I have array I'm getting from calling a .net controller.

I'm getting these values for dates:

/Date(1445256000000)/ and /Date(1445256900000)/

Instead of that I want to be able to get proper date values.

Now since I have array of objects I want to be able to update them in the array before sending them to the view.

This is what I have:

$http({
            method: 'GET',
            url: '/Driver/GetDriverTrips',
            params: { id: id }
        }).
        success(function (data) {
            var startDate= new Date(data[0].StartTime.match(/\d+/)[0] * 1);
            alert(myDate);

        });

So this conversion works properly but the thing is that I want to loop through all the same objects in the array, do the conversion and then again save it in the array.

Is there any function I can do that?

Something like

$.each(data, function(index, element) {
    var startDate= new Date(element.StartTime.match(/\d+/)[0] * 1);
});

would loop through all of the returned elements and extract the date.

You can have a second array, say finalDates and push the converted dates into that array as you loop.

try using map

var array = $(data).map(function(){
    return new Date(this.StartTime.match(/\d+/)[0] * 1);;
});

Or, to overwrite StartTime

$.each(data, function(index, element) {
    element.StartTime = new Date(element.StartTime.match(/\d+/)[0] * 1);
});

My method uses a usual for statement, which is a little more verbose, but I prefer, as long is the most efficient way to traverse an array. So, for each iteration, I got data at position i (data[i]), and stored the result in a temporary variable, called finalDate, and then finally push it to finalDates array. That's what you are looking for?

var finalDates = [];
$http({
    method: 'GET',
    url: '/Driver/GetDriverTrips',
    params: { id: id }
}).
success(function (data) {
    var finalDate;

    for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++) {
        finalDate = new Date(data[i].StartTime.match(/\d+/)[i] * 1);
        finalDates.push(finalDate);
    }
});
