Re: How to format datetime stamp in JS like it is doing by the date template tag?

To format the timestamp in JavaScript according to the format defined by Django, you can use Django settings to determine the format and adapt it in JavaScript. Here's how you can do it:

 

Retrieve the date and time format defined by Django in your JavaScript file using a Django template rendering method.

 

 

<script>

  // Get the date and time format defined by Django

  var dateTimeFormat = "{{ DATETIME_FORMAT }}";

</script>

 

Use the Moment.js JavaScript library to format the timestamp based on the format retrieved.

 

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.29.1/moment.min.js"></script>

<script>

  // Convert current date and time using Moment.js

  var currentDateTime = moment();

 

  // Format date and time using format retrieved from Django

  var formattedDateTime = currentDateTime.format(dateTimeFormat);

 

  // Use the formattedDateTime variable wherever you want to display the timestamp in your page  console.log("Horodatage formaté :", formattedDateTime);

</script>

 

With this approach, your JavaScript code will automatically adapt to the date and time format set by Django based on the LANGUAGE_CODE, USE_I18N, and USE_L10N parameters, without needing to hardcode the formatting of the datetime string into your JavaScript code.

Hello, 

I have customizing Django admin by adding a datetime stamp to the page using JavaScript. I want to format the datetime stamp according to the format set by Django. 

It is possible to get the DATETIME_FORMAT using the get_format() method in JS. But, this format is not supported by the Date().srftime method. 

I don't want to hard-code the formatting of the datetime string. I want the code to adapt according to the Django settings for LANGUAGE_CODE, USE_I18N, and USE_L10N settings.

TIA! 

Regards,

Gagan Deep
