Convert Json date to "Date" in javascript

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2013 with C#.

I am calling one ActionResult method that returns the list of data from Ajax.

The problem here is I am getting date as "/Date(1460008501597)/".

I don't know how to convert it to display on form using javascript.

Please someone help me it's hard for me to solve.

Easiest method is to have your ActionResult return it in the final format as a string. — fdomn-m

@freedomn-m Yes you are absolutely right but I want to post the whole model so I can't use any extra parameter and I have to set the date in the field of model itself so. — 3 rules

Yes - you add a read-only property to your model: public string DateValue { get { return this.Date.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"); } } (it wasn't clear from the question if you had a model, so I left it intentionally vague) — fdomn-m

You could use a function which return a date if the date string is in the wanted form or the value itself.

function getDateIfDate(d) {
    var m = d.match(/\/Date\((\d+)\)\//);
    return m ? (new Date(+m[1])).toLocaleDateString('en-US', {month: '2-digit', day: '2-digit', year: 'numeric'}) : d;
}

console.log(getDateIfDate("/Date(1460008501597)/"));
console.log(getDateIfDate('abc'));

In pure javascript, you can do this:

var date = new Date(Number("/Date(1460008501597)/".replace(/\D/g, '')));

Explanation:

new Date(
    Number(
        "/Date(1460008501597)/".replace(/\D/g, '') // Removes all non digit characters
    ) // Cast it to numeric
) // Creates a new Date object with the resultant number

Now, for more accurate solution for your problem, like display the date w/o javascript(which I think would be better choice), you can improve your question with more detail/information/code.

        var m = d.match(/\/Date\((\d+)\)\//);
        return (new Date(+m[1])).getMonth() + "/" + (new Date(+m[1])).getDate() + "/" + (new Date(+m[1])).getFullYear();

if it works for you, then it's ok. but getMonth returns 0-11 and not 1-12.

I suggested you something really close to this. In the comment(which I deleted) I did like you, but in a simple way. Like, you don't need to create the Date object everytime, why won't you store it in a var? E.g.: var date = new Date(+d.match(/\/Date\((\d+)\)\//)[1]).. then date.getMonth()..
