Javascript Dates reference

Javascript build-in Date object reference.

Create dates:

To create an object:	new Date(); new Date(milliseconds); new Date(datestring); new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, ms);
	A Date object in JavaScript is created with the new operator and the Date() constructor in 4 possible ways: When you create a Date object with the constructor without arguments you get an object with the current date and time. When you use a numeric argument, you will receive a date object containing a date and time which differs in (+/-) milliseconds compared to 01/01/1970. You got a date object when one string argument is passed, it is a string representation of a date, in the format accepted by the Date.parse() method. You can create a date object specifying seven numeric arguments that specify the individual fields of the date and time. The five last arguments are optional.
To use as a function:	Date([param])
	To use the constructor function, Date, as an function, then the function will return a string representation of the current date and time. In this case will all arguments be ignored.
An example of using the new Date([param]): <script type="text/javascript"> var datetime = new Date() // The date object contains: 'current date and time' document.write("The date object contains: "+datetime+"<br>"); datetime = new Date(42365246060*1000); // The date object contains: Thu Dec 22 2011 01:00:00 GMT+0100 document.write("The date object contains: "+datetime+"<br>"); datetime = new Date("01/02/2012"); // The date object contains: Mon Jan 02 2012 00:00:00 GMT+0100 document.write("The date object contains: "+datetime+"<br>"); datetime = new Date(2012,7); // 0 = january, 1 = february, ... // The date object contains: Wed Aug 01 2012 00:00:00 GMT+0200 document.write("The date object contains: "+datetime+"<br>"); </script>

General information about the object member types:

Prototype created methods, properties or constants can only be used on instances of an object or on a primitive datatype.
Constructor created methods, properties or constants can NOT be used on instances of an object or on a primitive datatype.

Prototype Methods:

get[UTC]Milliseconds()

set[UTC]Milliseconds()

Syntax:	getTime()
	Converts date and time in a date object to a single integer that is a millisecond representation of the date object. Millisecond representation of a date is independent of the time zone.
Return value:	The millisecond representation of the adjusted Date object.
An example of using the getTime() : `<script type="text/javascript"> datetime = new Date(); document.write("Date Today (locale): " +datetime.toLocaleString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using getTime() : " +datetime.getTime()+" milliseconds<br>"); </script>`

Constructor (Date) Methods:

parse()

UTC()

Syntax:	Date.parse(string)
	Parses the date contained in this string and returns it in millisecond format, which can be used directly to create a new Date object or set a date with the setTime() method.
Return value:	Milliseconds between the specified date and time and midnight GMT on January 1, 1970.
string:	A string containing the date and time to be parsed.
An example of using the parse() : `<script type="text/javascript"> datetime = new Date(); document.write("Date Today (locale): " +datetime.toLocaleString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using Date.parse() : " +datetime.setTime(Date.parse("2/2/2012"))+" milliseconds<br>"); document.write("New date (locale): " +datetime.toLocaleString()+"<br>"); </script>`

Prototype Properties:

Syntax:	Date.prototype.constructor
	This property of the Date.prototype holds the reference back to the Date object.
Important note:	This is the same as the constructor property of an instantiated object

Constructor (Date) Properties:

constructor

prototype

Syntax:	Date.constructor
	The constructor property is a reference to the function that will be invoked to create a Date object.

Syntax:	Date.prototype
	The prototype property is a reference to an object that contains all build-in methods that can be used by alle instances of Date-objects. You can apply your own methods to the Date object through this prototype property.
Important note:	Is not directly available on an instantiated object.
Return value:	object
An example of using the prototype : <script type="text/javascript"> Date.prototype.addDays=function(daytoadd){ this.setTime(this.getTime()+daytoadd2460601000); } Date.prototype.subDays=function(daytosub){ this.setTime(this.getTime()-daytosub2460601000); } // yy for 2 digit year, yyyy for 4 digit year, m = month number // mm for 2 digit month, mmm for 3 char. month, MMM for full month alpha. // dd for day number Date.prototype.getDateFormat=function(format){ var smonth=["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun" ,"Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"]; var lmonth=["January","February","Mars","April","May","June" ,"July","August","September","October","November","December"]; var m = this.getMonth(); var mmm = smonth[m]; var MMM = lmonth[m]; m++; var mm = m < 10 ? "0" + m : m; var d = this.getDate(); var dd = d < 10 ? "0" + d : d; format=format.replace(/yyyy/,""+this.getFullYear()); format=format.replace(/yy/,(""+this.getFullYear()).substr(2)); format = format.replace(/dd/, dd); format = format.replace(/d/, d); if (format.indexOf("MMM")>=0) { format = format.replace(/MMM/, MMM); }else if (format.indexOf("mmm")>=0) { format = format.replace(/mmm/, mmm); }else if (format.indexOf("mm")>=0) { format = format.replace(/mm/, mm); }else if (format.indexOf("m")>=0) { format = format.replace(/m/, m); } return format; } datetime = new Date(); document.write("Date Today (dd.MMM of yyyy): "+ datetime.getDateFormat("dd.MMM of yyyy")+"<br>"); datetime.addDays(10); document.write("Add 10 days (dd.mm.yy): "+ datetime.getDateFormat("dd.mm.yy")+"<br>"); datetime.subDays(34); document.write("Subtract 34 days (dd/mm/yyyy): "+ datetime.getDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy")+"<br>"); datetime.addDays(34); document.write("Add 34 days (m/dd/yyyy): "+ datetime.getDateFormat("m/dd/yyyy")+"<br>"); </script>

An example of using the toDateString() : <script type="text/javascript"> datetime = new Date(); document.write("Date Today using toDateString() : " +datetime.toDateString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toLocaleDateString() : " +datetime.toLocaleDateString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toLocaleString() : " +datetime.toLocaleString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toLocaleTimeString() : " +datetime.toLocaleTimeString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toString() : " +datetime.toString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toUTCString() : " +datetime.toUTCString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toGMTString() : " +datetime.toGMTString()+"<br>"); </script>

Syntax:	toLocaleString()
	Converts a date to a string using the local time zone. This method also uses the local conventions for date and time formatting, so that the format may vary from platform to platform and from country to country.
Return value:	A string representation of the date and time of a date object based on the local time zone.
An example of using the toLocaleString() : <script type="text/javascript"> datetime = new Date(); document.write("Date Today using toDateString() : " +datetime.toDateString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toLocaleDateString() : " +datetime.toLocaleDateString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toLocaleString() : " +datetime.toLocaleString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toLocaleTimeString() : " +datetime.toLocaleTimeString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toString() : " +datetime.toString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toUTCString() : " +datetime.toUTCString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toGMTString() : " +datetime.toGMTString()+"<br>"); </script>

Syntax:	toString() toUTCString() toGMTString()
	Returns an implementation-dependent string that represents date. The returned value will be expressed in universal time if you are using UTC variant of the method. The GMT variant of the method is the same as the UTC variant of the method.
Return value:	A human-readable string representation.
An example of using the to[UTC,GMT]String() : <script type="text/javascript"> datetime = new Date(); document.write("Date Today using toDateString() : " +datetime.toDateString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toLocaleDateString() : " +datetime.toLocaleDateString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toLocaleString() : " +datetime.toLocaleString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toLocaleTimeString() : " +datetime.toLocaleTimeString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toString() : " +datetime.toString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toUTCString() : " +datetime.toUTCString()+"<br>"); document.write("Date Today using toGMTString() : " +datetime.toGMTString()+"<br>"); </script>

Syntax:	Date.UTC(year,month[,date[,hours[,minutes[,seconds[,ms ]]]]])
	When the UTC function is called with fewer than two arguments, the behaviour is implementation-dependent. When the UTC function is called with two to seven arguments, it computes the date from year, month and (optionally) date, hours, minutes, seconds and ms. UTC is Universal Time, which is similar to Greenwich Mean Time [GMT]
Return value:	A time value as a number in milliseconds.
An example of using the UTC() : `<script type="text/javascript"> var monAdj=1; document.write("var monAdj=1;<br>"); var datetime = new Date(Date.UTC(2012,7-monAdj,17,8,15,30)); document.write(" new Date(Date.UTC(2012,7-monAdj,17,8,15,30)) => " +datetime.toUTCString()+"<br>"); </script>`
