Remove local timezone from date in javascript?

I was wondering if I can remove the timezone from a date using javascript? I am getting datetime in json format, now I want to set it back, but it returns more information about what I really want / need.

Now I have:

var d = new Date();
d.setTime(1432851021000);
document.write(d);

and the output looks something like this:

Thu May 28 2015 16:10:21 GMT-0600 (CST)

Id like to only show up to the hour and remove GMT-0600 (CST).

I know javascript accepts this based on the user's current timezone, which is a problem because the information can be stored in different countries.

I am trying to avoid creating a format using something like:

d.date() + "/" + d.month()...etc

Is there a better solution for this?

I believe it d.toDateString()

will output the format you are looking for.

var d = new Date();
d.setTime(1432851021000);
d.toDateString(); // outputs to "Thu May 28 2015"
d.toGMTString(); //outputs to "Thu, 28 May 2015 22:10:21 GMT"


Or even d.toLocaleString()

"5/28/2015, 6:10:21 PM"

There are many methods for Date ()

with impulses

var d = new Date();
d.setTime(1432851021000);

var newdate = moment(d);

alert(newdate.format("MMM DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss "));

You can use 2 options:
1. use split function: d.split ('GMT'). this gives you an array.
2. Get the usual js data functions like getHour and getFullYear etc. to format the result as you prefer.

Since the part you want is always of a fixed length you can use:

d.toString().slice(0, 24)

var x = d.toDateString().length;
var result = d.toDateString() + d.toString().substring(x,x+9);

var date = new Date(myUnixTimestamp*1000);
var prettyDate = date.toLocaleString();

I created a simple js function to remove part of the timezone from a datetime string. This which will give output like

  • 2019-07-27T19: 00: 00.000-0700 => 2019-07-27T19: 00: 00.000
  • 2019-09-17T19: 00: 00.000 + 0100 => 2019-09-17T19: 00: 00.000

function removeTimeZonePart(dateString) {
            
             let finalDate = '';
            
             if (dateString.split('+').length > 1) {
                 let b = dateString.split('+');
            
                 finalDate = b[0];
             } else {
                 let b = dateString.split('-');
            
                  if (b.length > 1) {
                   b.pop();
                   finalDate = b.join('-');
                 }
             }

             return finalDate;

}

alert(removeTimeZonePart('2019-07-27T19:00:00.000-0700'));
