jquery - Javascript - reformat date string to ISO8601

Question

I have a string like this:

21.03.2016 23:59

And I need this string converted into a ISO-8601 date-time string:

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss+00:00

Is there a simple way to convert this date? I try it whit moment.js but i can't find a function to parse an existing date.

Answer 1

Using moment.js you could do:

var dateString = '21.03.2016 23:59';
var momentDate = moment(dateString, 'DD.MM.YYYY HH:mm');
console.log(momentDate.toISOString());

Here is a fiddle showing this.
