I need to check if a string is a date or not. If the string is a date then I need to sort it by ascending order.
I am getting values like
d["dates"] has values ["1/10/1978 0:00", "2/3/1988 0",.....,"1/10/1978 23:00"].
First I need to check whether it is date or not if its date I need to sort ascending order.
Any help is good.
I have tried this
var date = Date.parse(d["dates"]);
if(isNaN(date)){ console.log('not date')}
To ensure string is date:
var sortedKey1 = new Array();
var date = Date.parse(d["dates"]);
sortedKey1 = d["dates"]
if(isDate(date)){
console.log('inside if of isDate(date)')
KEY_IS_DATE = true;
}
function isDate(date) {
return (new Date(date) !== "Invalid Date" && !isNaN(new Date(date)));
}
For sorting according to date:
if(KEY_IS_DATE){
var sortedKey = sortedKey1.sort(function(a,b) {
return new Date(a).getTime() - new Date(b).getTime()
});
console.log(sortedKey)
}
Iterate all array elements and do a date parse saving successful parse to another array.
and sort can be done using various JS/Jquery Plugins.
var stringArry = ["1/10/1978 0:00", "2/3/1988 0", "1/10/1978 23:00"];
var dateArray = [];
$.each(stringArry, function (index, value) {
var timestamp = Date.parse(value)
if (isNaN(timestamp) == false) {
var newDate = new Date(timestamp);
dateArray.push(newDate);
}
});
$.each(dateArray, function (index, value) {
alert(index + ": " + value);
});
