jDate

Easily format and return time and date in jQuery.

---

Formatted Date

To get the date in a DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY format you can use the formatDate function where you can set the separator, use:

jDate.formatDate('-'); //"10-12-2015" jDate.formatDate('-', 'us'); //"12-10-2015" jDate.formatDate('*', 'us'); //"1212015"

Get Time

This will return an object or string with the time of jDate init and timezone.

jDate.getTime(); //"11:07:58" jDate.getTime(true)//Object {time: "11:07:58", timezone: "GMT+0000"}

Get Month

This will return an object with the month name and month integer.

jDate.month(); //Object {month: "Dec", int: 12}

Get Day

This will return an object with the Week day name and day in the month.

jDate.day(); //Object {day: "Fri", int: 11}

To get the Week day as an integer, simply do:

jDate.toNumber(jDate.day().day) //5
