How to get only year from kendo datepicker?

Question

I want to get only year from kendo datepicker.

var defaultyear = $("#datepicker").val();
// 2/22/2015

I want '2015'. I do not want to change display format. Thanks.

Answer 1

The .value() of .data("kendoDatePicker") is a Date, so you can also use the JavaScript method .getFullYear().

var year = $("#datepicker").data("kendoDatePicker").value().getFullYear();

Note that .getMonth() returns the month index (zero-based), so January = .getMonth()+1.

var month = $("#datepicker").data("kendoDatePicker").value().getMonth() + 1;

Answer 2

Solved :)

  var defaultyear=kendo.toString($("#datepicker").data("kendoDatePicker").value(), 'yyyy');
