Convert C# Generated Date to ISO format in Javascript

Question

Hello, I’m making a website where I use an API built in C#. My problem is that when I get a date from the server, it sends me in this format:

[{
    "dataLiberacao":"\/Date(928160400000-0300)\/",
    "dataReg":"\/Date(928160400000-0300)\/",
    "id":2147483647,
    "maquina":"Conteúdo da cadeia de caracteres",
    "status":true,
    "versao":"Conteúdo da cadeia de caracteres"
}]

I need to know how I can convert this into a common format for Javascript.

NOTE: I already tried with the API people to send me this string but unfortunately they will not change the project so...

Answer 1

Download momentjs which is a library javascript, that works with various date formats and various functions:

moment("/Date(1198908717056-0700)/").format('DD/MM/YYYY'); 

var data = moment("/Date(1198908717056-0700)/").format('DD/MM/YYYY'); 
console.log(data);

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.16.0/moment-with-locales.min.js">
</script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js">
</script>

In your case it would be something:

moment(dataLiberacao).format('DD-MM-YYYY');

Another way:

With eval and new Date:

var data = eval('new Date(1198908717056-0700)');
console.log(data.toLocaleString());

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js">
</script>

_{The two ways are functional, the momentjs is a small library does not disturb the loading of the page and as has been reported is very stable, but, also has another way that can solve your problem without a lib external.}
