Convert Facebook JSON created_time of String format to other format

Question

I'm developing a website and I'm trying to get created_time from Facebook's JSON. I was successful in that and I got it as 2018-04-17T17:25:23+0000.

Now this should be converted into other format like 2018/04/17 5:23pm

My challenge now is to convert that into other format.

Please help me to convert the string formatted time from JSON object to another date format.

Try this

var date = new Date('2018-04-17T17:25:23+0000');
var day = date.getDate();
var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
var year = date.getFullYear();
var new_format = month  + '/' + day  + '/' + year; // format :m/d/y

With your example date above, you can simply create a javascript date object like var date = new Date('2018-04-17T17:25:23+0000'); and use this for creating any specific date formats.

See How to get current formatted date dd/mm/yyyy in Javascript and append it to an input for creating a new format
