Javascript Date conversion Invalid Date

Question

I was looking for this very specific conversion which I couldnt find anywhere

var d = new Date("2014-12-25T18:30:00+0100");
console.log(d.toString());

the console.log returns an "Invalid Date" The DateString is returned by the Facebook GraphAPI.

What am I doing wrong? can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

Now that I fixed the API my output is kind of consfusing:

I tried splitting up the String

d.getDay()+'.'+d.getMonth()+'.'+d.getYear()+' '+d.getHours()+':'+d.getMinutes();

it outputs

4.11.114 18:30

why?!

Is there more code elsewhere? This seems to be working fine in both FF and Chrome. — brbcoding, Dec 22 '14 at 20:58

Chrome is my browser, but the String wasnt the problem ! Thanks for your help- My internal API didnt get the values properly — Max Bumaye, Dec 22 '14 at 21:06

Instead of doing those complicated date functions

d.getDate()+'.'+d.getMonth()+'.'+d.getYear()+' '+d.getHours()+':'+d.getMinutes();

Do yourself a favour and include http://momentjs.com/ in your project. You can then simply take the date from the facebook api and format it with

moment("2014-12-25T18:30:00+0100").format("/* date format */");

When formating dates in plain javascript, you will have to add 1 month to your month - january is 0, that's why you get 4.11... instead of 4.12...

Please correct the d.getDay() to "d.getDate()" which returns the correct digit - then your answer is perfectly correct :) – Max Bumaye Dec 22 '14 at 21:21

Change getYear() to getFullYear()

d.getDay()+'.'+d.getMonth()+'.'+d.getFullYear()+' '+d.getHours()+':'+d.getMinutes();
