date format change - function call inside an object

[prasawd]

Here is my code..

$('<div />').addblock(
{
	type:'common', 
	title:'Text Block', 
	data:{	'id':model.id,
			"namne":model.name,
			"desc":model.desc,
			"labelDate":model.thetimestamp
			/*
			"labelDate": function(models.starttime){
				var value = models.starttime;
				var d = new Date();
				d.setTime(value);
				value = d.toLocaleDateString();	
				return value;
			}
			*/
	}
			
});

I'm getting model.thetimestamp from an ajax call, however I am not able to format that to date object. Im trying to do that using an anonymous function which is now in the comments. How do I format the date before showing it in the block?

It depends on what models.startime is. The JavaScript Date() constructor can takes various type of arguments: milliseconds, date string or Year, Month, Day, Hours, Minutes, Seconds, milliseconds

You could write:

"labelDate": function(models.starttime){
var d=new Date(parseInt(arguments[0]));
return d.toLocaleDateString();
}
