Extract datetime from string with javascript

August 26, 2022

I have an AJAX request that returns an array, in this array I capture the created_at from my database and it comes in the following format:

Code:

success: function(response){
     let data = response;
     date = data[0][`created_at`];

     console.log(date);
}

log:

2022-08-25T18:44:48.000000Z

I need to split this string into two variables (date and time), what is the best way?

>Solution :

you can do it like this,

success: function(response){
     let data = response;
     date = data[0][`created_at`];
     
     // date.split('T') - this will create an array like ['2022-08-25', '18:44:48.000000Z']
     // const [date, time] - this is Array destructuring in action.

     const [date, time] = date.split('T') 
     
     // date - '2022-08-25'
     // time - '18:44:48.000000Z'

     console.log(date, time)
}
