Convert timestamp to date using Angular 2 pipes
AngularTypescriptTimestampAngular PipeAngular Problem Overview
I'm trying to convert a timestamp
to a date format using Angular pipes. I wrote this in the HTML template:
{{myTimestamp | date}}
Where myTimestamp
is of type number.
I get unexpected results, for example, the timestamp 1468251287
(Which matches Nov 7, 2016) is displayed as Jan 18, 1970
.
I would like to know how I can fix this issue.
Angular Solutions
Solution 1 - Angular
As mentioned by @Perry you will need to provide the date in milliseconds. From the Angular 2 reference for date we have:
> expression is a date object or a number (milliseconds since UTC epoch) > or an ISO string
So it can be simply be:
{{load.loadDate * 1000 | date}}
Solution 2 - Angular
I used:
<div>{{score.timestamp | date:'dd/MM/yyyy'}}</div>

Solution 3 - Angular
So if your looking to change timestamp
to specific date then try this:
Date(user.dob).toLocaleDateString('en-GB')
