I think you would have to manually parse it into that format, which actually isn't too bad. What Date.toLocaleString() returns is a format of:
MM/DD/YYYY, HH:MM:SS
Here's my code snippet to help you out:
// Parse our locale string to [date, time]
var date = new Date().toLocaleString('en-US',{hour12:false}).split(" ");
// Now we can access our time at date[1], and monthdayyear @ date[0]
var time = date[1];
var mdy = date[0];
// We then parse the mdy into parts
mdy = mdy.split('/');
var month = parseInt(mdy[0]);
var day = parseInt(mdy[1]);
var year = parseInt(mdy[2]);
// Putting it all together
var formattedDate = year + '-' + month + '-' + day + ' ' + time;
You can set the format as described (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss) by adding the locale parameter, like this:
toLocaleString("sv-SE")
References:
you can use moment.js library which has many features to work with date & time you can easily format a date with that.
here is an example
moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'); // will print in 2015-10-29 20:00:00 format
before doing what i provide please read this and this
var el = document.getElementById('dbg');
var log = function(val){el.innerHTML+='<div><pre>'+val+'</pre></div>'};
var pad = function(val){ return ('00' + val).slice(-2)};
Date.prototype.myFormattedString = function(){
return this.getFullYear() + '-' +
pad( (this.getMonth() + 1) ) + '-' +
pad( this.getDate() ) + ' ' +
pad( this.getHours() ) + ':' +
pad( this.getMinutes() ) + ':' +
pad( this.getSeconds() )
;
}
var curDate = new Date();
log( curDate )
log( curDate.toLocaleString() )
log( curDate.myFormattedString() )<div id='dbg'></div>Robert Thorne covers electric vehicle innovations, autonomous driving systems, global mobility trends, and automotive engineering developments.
