So this is my code:

var input = '2015-07-13T22:00:00Z';
var output = encodeURIComponent(input);

console.log(output);

How can i use encodeURIComponent in momentjs?

Thanks.

  • This is a Javascript method : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent – Hyyan Abo Fakher May 07 '18 at 13:22
  • Why would you do that? Do you understand what they do? – evolutionxbox May 07 '18 at 13:22
  • This function is used to encode characters to UTF-8 format, why would you want to use it with moment? Maybe use moment('2015-07-13T22:00:00Z').format('format-needed'); – justMe May 07 '18 at 13:23

It encodes the URI of the component so that it can be accessed easily.

For example -

https://www.google.com?myquery=my query

becomes

https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%3Fmyquery%3Dmy%20query

after using encodeURIComponent()

But if you need to change the format of your date, you should use .format() method.

It could make some sense using JS encodeURIComponent() function on an ISO 8601 date only if you need to use that value as an URL parameter, passing it 'as-is' for example to a REST endpoint...

UPDATE 1:

You could use it, for example, this way:

var input = '2015-07-13T22:00:00Z';
var output = encodeURIComponent(input);
var endpoint = 'https://example.com/endpoint/date=' + output;

UPDATE 2:*

Or, this way:

var input = moment().toISOString();
var output = encodeURIComponent(input);
var endpoint = 'https://example.com/endpoint/date=' + output;
