Angular DateParser
A simple parser that converts date and time strings into JavaScript Date objects.
Prerequisites
Installing
bower install angular-dateParser --save
or
npm install angular-dateParser --save
Usage
Simply include the parser file, add it as a dependency and call it like so:
$dateParser(string, format)
The first parameter is the date and time string you wish to convert to a Date object, and the second parameter is the format you're using. The format is optional, so if you're using the RFC2822 or ISO 8601 date formats, you're more or less safe, as the parser will simply pass the string to the Date constructor.
Expected return value is a JavaScript Date object, or undefined if values are invalid.
Date formats
All Date formats specified in the Date filter documentation can be used, as well as custom formats. See the demo for examples.
Note: When the
w
orww
format strings are used, the parser will returnundefined
in the event the provided week number is invalid, or does not match the provided date string. It will return a valid Date object if the provided date falls within the start and end of the week for the provided week number.
Localisation
This parser depends on the $locale service to provide it with the list of formats, as well as names of months and days. To use this feature, include the locale file included in the Angular bundle.
